Dr. Nitza Nachmias Recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for Excellence in Education
Dr. Nachmias is dedicated to empowering people in difficult situations

BALTIMORE, MD, November 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nitza R. Nachmias, Professor of Political Science at Towson University, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in education.

Dr. Nachmias has taught at Towson University for the past 20 years and has accrued 25 years of professional experience overall. She specializes in international politics and the work of international organizations. In her current position, she teaches, advises students, and attends and participates in international conferences. Her research interests include humanitarian assistance, conflict resolution, and voting patterns at the United Nations. Dr. Nachmias is interested in finding ways to empower people in difficult situations, especially women in the Third World.

She has found that conflict management and resolution require mediation, strategic negotiations, and an understanding of the resources available at the international level. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the United Nations has become a major player on the international scene, and Dr. Nachmias studies how nations involved in protracted conflicts can use the resources available to them through the United Nations to manage and even bring an end to their conflicts.

Dr. Nachmias has been invited to several international conferences in 2012; one will be in Barcelona, Spain, and the other two will take place in Italy. In April 1988, she was an invited speaker at the UN General Assembly on Nuclear Disarmament in the Middle East. In addition, Dr. Nachmias has published a number of articles, including

"The Road to Success: How to Risk All to Get All," "How UNRWA Perpetuates the Palestinian Refugees Myth," "Can the United Nations Free Internally Displaced Persons from Fear? A Challenge for the 21 Century," "The Struggle for Accountability: The Israel Government Control of NGOs," "Dilemmas of Prolonged Humanitarian Aid Operations: The Case of UNRWA," and "From Revolution to Civil Society: the Case of the Palestinian Civil Society," among others.

She started teaching as a Ph.D. student at The City University of New York, and when one of her professors suggested that she join the adjunct faculty, she did so. She eventually took her academic career full time and started to publish as well. Dr. Nachmias attributes her success to being enthusiastic about learning and enjoying an intellectual challenge.

Dr. Nachmias holds a Ph.D. and Master of Arts from The Graduate School of The City University of New York. She also earned a Bachelor of Arts from Baruch College, graduating summa cum laude. She is a member of the International Society for Third Sector Research, the International Research Society for Public Management, The United Nations Association of the United States of America, and ACUNS, which is a professional association devoted to the study of multilateral relations, global governance and international cooperation. Between 1987 and 1990, she served as an executive director for the National Council of Women of the United States, Inc., and between 1996 and 1998, she served as the Executive Director of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy. In the years to come, Dr. Nachmias hopes to remain in the same profession and take part in ambitious research.
