My research examines regional integration/cooperation processes and its intesection with domestic political and security outcomes. I am particularly interested in public opinion towards regional organizations in the developing world and the role of regional organizations in post-coup politics. Please contact me for a copy of my research statement. Below is a list of my published research, manuscripts under review, and working papers. You can also access my Google Scholar profile here.
