My research focuses on the ways in which international and internal economic factors influence domestic political violence. I am specifically interested in the influences of foreign aid and foreign investment, as well as the influence of international trade. Projects that I am currently working on include examinations into the effect that the sub-national distribution of development aid projects has on the likelihood of civil war onset, and the effect that a nation's position within the global trade network prior to a civil war has on the likelihood of the international community intervening in that nation.
