Thomas Crombie Schelling (born 1921) is an American economist and professor of foreign affairs, national security, nuclear strategy and arms control at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy.
Schelling's book, The Strategy of Conflict (Harvard University Press, 1960), has pioneered the study of bargaining and strategic behavior, and was considered one of the hundred books that have been most influential in the West since 1945.
Schelling has been involved in the global warming debate. Arguing that the problem has been largely overstated, he has been part of the Copenhagen Consensus as one of the leading experts.
Dr. Schelling previously served for twenty years at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he was the Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy.
