Daniel E. Miller, Senior Consultant for Walker Clark LLC, specializes in business strategy and various economic, political, and cultural issues in the legal markets of Europe with particular expertise in the Central European countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.

In his 34 years at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida, Professor Miller taught graduate and undergraduate courses in the history of Central Europe, the Balkans, and aspects of modern European history, including courses on Russia and the Soviet Union. He completed his BA in history and political science at the University of Pittsburgh, his MA in history at the University of Illinois, and his doctorate in history at the University of Pittsburgh (1989). Before joining the University of West Florida, Miller was a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He has experience in advising lawyers concerning business development and client relations strategy in Central Europe and has been a consultant with Walker Clark LLC since 2013. Miller retired from teaching in 2025 but remains active in research and professional associations.

Miller’s most recent publication, which he coauthored with Philip J. Howe (Adrian College in Adrian, MI) and Thomas A. Lorman (School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London), is Governing Divided Societies: Habsburg Austria’s Democratic Legacy and the Czechoslovak First Republic (2026). The volume explores consociationalism, a system that ensures harmony in deeply divided societies, as it developed in Imperial Austria (1867-1918) and the democratic Czechoslovak First Republic (1918-1938). Miller’s other major works are The Influence of Václav Klaus on Czech Public Opinion Regarding the European Union (2017) and Forging Political Compromise: Antonín Švehla and the Czechoslovak Republican Party (1918-1933), which explores agrarian politics and democracy in Czechoslovakia between the two world wars and appears in Czech as Antonín Švehla mistr kompromisu (1999 and 2001). He also is the coeditor of K úloze a významu agrárního hnutí v českých a československých dějinách (The Significance and Meaning of the Agrarian Movement in Czech and Czechoslovak History) that examines the history of agrarian movement in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (2001). He has penned 19 academic chapters and articles (two are coauthored) along with numerous reviews and additional works in Czech and English related to Slovak and Czech agricultural politics, the maintenance of democracy, and related topics. Miller is preparing a monograph on the creation of new agricultural settlements on the great estates of Czechoslovakia during that country’s land reform between the world wars as well as other publications.

Research frequently takes Dr. Miller to Europe, especially Central Europe and the Balkans, and he has traveled widely in Europe and elsewhere.
