What does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
Research
I am a comparativist. My research is focused on regime transition, state-building, development, and authoritarian politics.
My current project explores how state centralization and the development of the constraint on the executive shape states' pathway out of monarchy in Europe and Asia.
Another project explores how and why, while wars make states, different types of wars make different types of regimes.
