Education

Cronin graduated from the University of Florida with high honors and earned MPhil and DPhil from St. Antony's College, University of Oxford, where he studied international relations.[3]

Early career

While an undergraduate, Cronin worked at the Miami Herald and the Fort Lauderdale News.[4] He was an analyst with the Congressional Research Service and SRI International, a US Naval Reserve intelligence officer, a senior analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses, and director of research at the US Institute of Peace (1998–2001).

USAID service

During the George W. Bush administration, Cronin was assistant administrator for policy and program coordination (the third-ranking position) at the United States Agency for International Development. He was confirmed by the Senate in 2001.[5][6]

Cronin led USAID's interagency task force that helped design the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).[7][8][9]

In a 2006 interview with NPR, Cronin said: "USAID continues to have the best expertise on development in the US government, and yet nobody will dispute that it's lost its primacy in development assistance some time ago. So what we've seen since the '90s is the strengthening of the State Department's policy leadership role in foreign development assistance. The Bush administration took that with a vengeance."[10]
