Welcome!

I am Tariq Basir, holding a PhD in economics from South Asian University. Previously, I was affiliated as a Research Scholar with the Center for Governance and Markets, University of Pittsburgh. I was also teaching as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economics, Kabul University.

My primary research interests lie in political economics and formal theory with applications to revolutions, collective action problem, democratization processes and non-democratic politics. Substantively, I am interested in the study of democratization movements in the MENA region as well as the political economy of governance in Afghanistan.
