Parker W. Borg (born May 25, 1939, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a former professor at the American University of Rome and a former United States ambassador to Mali and Iceland.[1]

Career

He entered the US Foreign Service in 1965 as Foreign Service officer-general in Kuala Lumpur, where he learned the Malay language. In 1967-1970 he was on detail to the Agency for International Development with the CORDS program in Vietnam, where he learned Vietnamese.[2] His nomination on July 22, 1991 to be United States Ambassador to Burma was not acted upon by the Senate, due to political concerns at the time.[3] Franklin P. Huddle, Jr. served as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim in Rangoon September 1990 to September 1994.

Borg acted as 'Diplomat in Residence' for the American University of Rome from 2005 until spring of 2008, the first to hold the position. At the University, he taught one course each semester in addition to participating in various University activities. The classes he taught include Comparative Foreign Politics and Current American Foreign Policy.[4] Borg was one of two advisers for the University's delegation to Harvard National Model United Nations for the past two sessions.

In Spring of 2008, Borg was recognized during the graduation ceremony as the faculty member who most enriched the lives of his students.

Borg currently teaches in the Internal relations program at the American Graduate School in Paris (AGS). [5]
