In Young Park
Welcome! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University. I apply Game Theory & Quantitative Methods to study problems in International Relations.
My research shows that increasing economic interdependence among nations can backfire: when democracies trade with autocracies, they inadvertently encourage the formation of global coalitions among dictators. Another related work demonstrates that, within democracies, previously pro-trade voters can turn to protectionism when trade opening increases the market's exposure to uncertainty. My research employs a wide array of methods, including game theory, qualitative and quantitative archival study, and a range of quantitative methods.
