My primary area of research is the role of domestic and international civil society in development and governance, namely the role of civil society in non-democracies. My second main area of research is institutional change in authoritarian regimes. Specifically I examine if institutional change is a product of feedback loops, as recent research suggests, or part of a broader evolutionary interaction between individual preferences and political and economic institutions. Additionally, I analyze international and comparative political economy issues, such as transition economies, cross-border monetary flows, and paths of development.
