Populist elite cues and public attitudes toward international organizations
How do domestic elite cues shape public attitudes toward international organizations (IOs)? Political elites with populist rhetoric frequently criticize IOs on grounds of representation, popular sovereignty, elitism, detachment from local concerns, and a uniform approach to global problems without accounting for local nuances. We argue that discursive delegitimization by domestic populist elites negatively influences public perceptions of IOs. We…
Electing More Women to National Legislatures
Existing studies show that democracies are no better than autocracies in terms of women's legislative representation. This finding seems counterintuitive because democracies are more politically inclusive and foster greater respect for civil and political rights, compared to autocracies. We revisit the relationship between democracy and women's legislative representation by considering the interaction between democracy and global norms of gender …
Politics of Pursuing Justice in the Aftermath of Civil Conflict
Why do some states pursue transitional justice (TJ) in the immediate aftermath of armed conflict while others do not? What drives a state to select a particular type of justice mechanism over another? Building on the political explanations of TJ, we argue that postconflict justice (PCJ) decisions are driven by the interests and power of political elites shaped by recently ended conflicts. Our empirical analysis shows that conflict outcomes and th…
How do external territorial threats affect mass killing
The current scholarship on mass killing demonstrates that genocide and other forms of mass murder are usually policy responses to threats, emphasizing armed conflict and political upheaval, such as revolution, as important causal factors. However, scholars have so far had little to say about the relationship between a country's external threat environment and mass killing. We argue that a country's external security environment, particularly when…
Legal commitments to United Nations human rights treaties and higher monitoring standards in the Universal Periodic Review
My research explores states' participation in the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR) as recommenders in conjunction with their level of commitments to the UN nine core human rights instruments. Briefly capturing the unique institutional features of the UPR's interactive dialogue, and taking into consideration recommending states' resource constraints as well as their human rights agendas, I argue that states' legal commitments to othe…
Deeper Commitment to Human Rights Treaties
Why do some leaders make deeper commitments to human rights treaties (HRAs) by consenting to receive extra monitoring of complaints or communications from individual citizens? Extant theory suggests leaders join HRAs for tangible benefits. However, empirical support for this argument is mixed. To address this mismatch, we approach this question from a different angle. We argue that by ratifying HRAs, leaders send a signal that they are reliable p…
