I am an assistant professor at the Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.  My research deals with social mobilization, informal networks, authoritarian politics, and state building and decay, with an emphasis on Central Asia and the Caucasus. 

Current projects include a laboratory experiment on framing processes and historical narratives relating to the Nagorno-Karabakh war; and a co-authored book manuscript on the informal mechanisms of rule and causes of regime breakdown in post-Soviet Eurasia.  My articles have appeared in several journals including Comparative Politics, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Democracy, and Europe-Asia Studies.

I teach courses on the development of the international system in the 20^th century, contemporary Central Asian politics, post-Soviet security, and failed states.
