Biographical Note
Iliya F. Harik (1934-2007) was scholar of comparative and Middle Eastern politics and
society and a Professor Emeritus at the Department of Political Science at Indiana
University, Bloomington, where he taught from 1964 to 1998. He was born in Lebanon
on July 20, 1934 and grew up in the village of Dhour al-Shwayr. After graduating
from Shwayr Secondary School, he attended the American University of Beirut, where
he earned his B.A. in Philosophy in 1956 and M.A. in Arab Studies in 1958. While at
AUB, Harik met Elsa Marston, a writer of children’s literature. The couple married
in England in 1959 and eventually had three children. Harik attended the London
School of Economics and Political Science from 1959−1960 on a scholarship from the
British Council and went on to earn his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in
1964.
Harik joined the Department of Political Science at Indiana University, Bloomington,
in 1964. During his time at IU, he taught courses in Middle Eastern and comparative
politics, government, and development, and he helped establish and direct the
university’s Middle Eastern Studies Center (1980−1983). His research led to the
publication of numerous books and articles in both English and Arabic, including The
Political Mobilization of Peasants: A Study of an Egyptian Community (1974),
Economic Policy Reform in Egypt (1997), and Democracy and the Paradoxes of Cultural
Diversity: Beyond the Veil of Difference (2003). Harik also held visiting lecturer
and faculty positions at several institutions, including the American University of
Beirut (1980), Cornell University (1978-1979), the American Research Center in Egypt
(director, 1990-1992).
Throughout his career Harik was an active participant in conferences, professional
societies, and academic publishing. He was a member of the board of directors of
Middle East Studies Association (MESA) (1973-1976), the editorial board of Journal
of Arab Affairs (1981-1990) and the advisory board of the Middle East Journal
(1997-?). He also participated in a number of international initiatives related to
development, politics, and public policy in the Middle East and North Africa. From
1974-1975, Harik served as the Director of Education and Social Science for the
North Africa office of the Ford Foundation. He also served as a consultant for the
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) from 1976-1979.
After retiring from his position at Indiana University in 1998, Harik continued to
participate in conferences and international education initiatives, including
visiting lectureships at the Lebanese American University in Beirut. He passed away
in Bloomington, Indiana on February 24, 2007.
