Research Interests:

My research interest straddles international relations and comparative politics. I am particularly interested in studying the interaction between ideational and structural forces and the interaction between domestic and international politics. The geographic focus of my research is East Asia

Current Research Projects:

I am working on a project that studies the diffusion of international governance norms in China and another project on soft power in East Asia.
