Vali Reza Nasr is an Iranian-American academic and scholar, as well as the Associate Chair of Research at the Department of National Security Affairs of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.

In January 2006 Nasr was named the Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonpartisan think-tank focusing on foreign policy. He is also a Senior Fellow at Belfar Center for the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University. He was named Carnegie Scholar in 2006.

Nasr is the author of “The Shia Revival”, “The Islamic Leviathan”, “Democracy in Iran”, “The Vanguard of the Islamic Revolution: The Jama’at-i Islami of Pakistan”, and “Mawdudi and the Making of Islamic Revivalism”. His most influential work has been on the importance of sectarian identity in Middle East politics and the growing importance of Shia politics following the Iraq war, which he was one of the first to identify. In August 2006, Nasr briefed President Bush on the ‘dynamics’ of sectarian violence in Iraq.
