Basham studied political science at Carleton University, the University of Houston and University of Cambridge, earning B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees respectively.
Books
He contributed to the 2004 book Iraq: Opposing Viewpoints, edited by David Haugen.
In December 2005 Basham wrote an article for the Washington Times which praised the Canadian Conservative Stephen Harper as "pro-free trade, pro-Iraq war, anti-Kyoto and socially conservative". Harper publicly objected, saying that the description "greatly oversimplifies my positions." Harper went on to form a minority government after the January 2006 election.
