In his job market paper, @christian_baehr examines how permanent oil revenue shortfalls reshape distributional conflicts in oil-dependent states and drive targeted institutional reforms to strengthen public goods provision, offering insight into how these states will respond to the clean energy transition.

In her dissertation, Manasi @ManasiBose examines international responses to rebel governance and uses the case study of HTS in Syria to address the question of why groups with no expectation of legitimacy or legal recognition engage in costly political institutionalization. She finds that the establishment of constituent-focused political institutions by rebel groups insulates them from the worst forms of negative intervention and increases the likelihood that they will receive international support.

In his job market paper, @sawada_hiroto presents a formal model to explain (i) when a climate disaster triggers armed conflict and (ii) why empirical evidence on climate and conflict seems mixed. His research can be found at hiroto-sawada.github.io

I joined eight former CDC directors—spanning Republican and Democratic administrations—to share this warning: our nation’s health is at risk.
The very systems that protect us from disease, cancer, and future health threats are being dismantled. nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opi…

Excited to start my grad & undergrad classes on the political economy of climate politics this semester 🌍
For the undergrads, I’ve added new simulations — including a day playing Catan: New Energies!
Happy to share syllabi with anyone designing or updating courses.

Our father, Derk Sauer, has passed away. It’s an immeasurable loss, and no words can truly capture what a remarkable father and husband he was. He dedicated his life to defending independent Russian media. In his final days, he asked that people continue to support the free press

My book was just sent to press! It'll be available in print end of July. Focusing mostly on Southeast Asia during the 20th c, the book develops an argument about how state-building can present headwinds for nation-building.

Harvard has been given 72 hours to provide an incomprehensible amount of information, before the administration kicks anybody out that are not American.
We are a country of immigrants and with a constitution. This is a shameful display.
Secretary Kristi Noem@EnvoyNoem
This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus. It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.
