Nativism and Economic Integration Across the Developing World: Collision and Accommodation
With Rikhil Bhavnani. Forthcoming, Cambridge University Press 2018.
●
Welcome
I am an associate professor at the University of Rochester Department of Political Science.
In 2018, Rikhil Bhavnani and I will publish a study on a backlash against migration within the developing world, titled Nativism and Economic Integration Across the Developing World. I also study civil and ethnic conflict, especially disputes over territorial autonomy. My first book, Rival Claims: Ethnic Violence and Territorial Autonomy under Indian Federalism, is available from the University of Michigan.
I am also interested in public support for war, particularly counterinsurgency. I measured the costs of war through work with the PRIO Battle Deaths Data project.
