The political business cycle of petroleum taxes
Post-Soviet Protests
What explains individuals’ decision to protest in authoritarian countries? More specifically, what motivates people in Central Asia to take part in public demonstrations? While public expression of dissent is relatively infrequent in Central Asia, they do occur, and a few of them have even resulted in massive political upheavals. Yet scholarly research has largely overlooked the motivations behind these protests and their broader implications. Dr…
Ties that bind? Women leaders' voting congruence in the United Nations General Assembly
Does the gender of political leaders shape a country's foreign policy? Some suggest that women leaders are more likely to express similar foreign policy preferences with other women leaders, while others suggest that gender has negligible or no influence on leaders' foreign policy preferences. We argue that women leaders, specifically state legislators and chief executives, show distinctive foreign policy positions. Our analysis of voting records…

Russian adventurism and Central Asian leaders’ foreign policy rhetoric
How do smaller states position themselves in the biggest diplomatic forum when a regional power with which they share deep economic and political ties is engaged in foreign adventurism with its neighbors? We answer this question by examining how the five Central Asian countries (the “-stans”) have crafted their United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speeches in the aftermath of three recent instances of Russian foreign adventurism: Russo-Georgian…
Examining the effects of democratic backsliding on human rights conditions
What is the link between democratic backsliding and human rights? Existing literature has focused almost exclusively on the effect of increasing democratic features on improvements in human rights. In contrast, we know less regarding the impact of decreasing democracy (i.e., democratic backsliding) on a state's human rights conditions. With the growing influence of antidemocratic movements in many democracies recently, it is imperative that we ex…
Why do some natural resource-rich countries adopt prudent fiscal rules? An empirical analysis
The limits of shame
Within the human rights literature, a growing number of studies have focused on the factors that explain engagement in protests. Most prior studies of this type give little or no consideration to the effect of these factors on gender. Recently, though, some scholars have begun focusing on the gender dimension, exploring why women engage in protests specifically. In this study, we examine a previously unexplored factor, that of naming and shaming …
A BIT of help? The divergent effect of bilateral investment treaties on women’s rights
What effect do bilateral investment treaties (BITs) have on women’s rights? We argue that BITs have divergent effects on women’s rights dependent on the type of women’s rights examined. We posit that BITs have a negative effect on women’s economic rights in host states because of an initial “locking in” effect, whereby states seek to become more attractive to potential bilateral partners by decreasing the quality of conditions prior to signing a …
Compliant or defiant? Economic sanctions and United Nations General Assembly voting by target countries
What effect do economic sanctions have on the foreign policy orientation of sanctioned (target) countries towards sanctioning (sender) countries? Do sanctions create more or fewer incentives for targets to pursue divergent foreign policy agendas from that of their senders in major international forums? We posit that economic sanctions escalate tension between target and sender countries, prompting target governments to vote against the interests …
UN Human Rights Shaming and Foreign Aid Allocation
Power Politics and Foreign Aid Delivery Tactics
Objective This article explores the influence of aid recipient countries’ U.N. General Assembly voting on the amount of government‐to‐government economic assistance they receive from donor countries. I argue that major power donor states are swayed by recipient states’ voting records, while minor donors do not take U.N. General Assembly voting into consideration while formulating their aid policies. Method To explore the relationship, I utilize n…
