Steven Ebbin is an American civil servant and political scientist specializing in technology and democratic governance, with a particular focus on energy issues.
A graduate of Syracuse University (1954, 1960), Dr. Ebbin went to India and Brazil as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer shortly after receiving his PhD. Since then he has served as assistant to the majority leader in the U.S. Senate, Director of the Senate Subcomittee on Government Research, Executive Director of the Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee, and Vice President of the Insitutite of International Education. He has designed mechanisms to involve civil society in government decision-making as director of a number of environmental and planning studies of nuclear power and airports. The National Science Foundation funded his study of the role of citizen's groups in nuclear power, and with Raphael G. Kasper he authored Citizen Groups and the Nuclear Power Controversy: Uses of Scientific and Technological Information (MIT, 1974). As the Director of energy training for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) he has given countless lectures to developing country energy professionals about energy sector reform, energy as a vehicle for change and as a vital element in the economic and democratic development process.
The Steven Ebbin Papers consists of correspondence, notes, drafts of his book Citizen Groups and the Nuclear Power Controversy: Uses of Scientific and Technological Information, published material, reports and much more. The material spans Ebbin's entire career.
