Emiel Awad

Welcome! I am an Associate Research Scholar at Princeton University's Department of Politics. Before this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science from September 2019 until August 2022, and I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Rochester in 2019.

My research and teaching interests are in political economy and international relations. I am primarily interested in the design of international organizations, interest group politics, and the economics of information and organizations. My two main research areas study (i) how interest groups use information to persuade decision-makers and how institutions can be designed to get them to provide more detailed information and (ii) how international organizations can be designed to let states attain greater gains from cooperation. I apply my work to American, European Union, and Dutch politics. Some of my work is published in the American Journal of Political Science.
