PUBLICATIONS
I tend to write about four aspects of politics:
(1) Intellectual traditions of international political economy
(2) Global governance, especially American hegemony and world orders
(3) Comparative democratization, development, and social movements
(4) Contemporary American political thought, Cold War to present
Below is a selection of my published work. I also have a Google Scholar page.
