I am an Associate Professor in Political Science at the University of South Carolina.
My research focuses on the political economy of conflict and criminality. I assess how volatility in the international market impacts violent groups' behavior toward civilians. I also address corresponding state response to changes in violent groups' economic capacity. In addition to my primary research agenda, I am engaged in projects about offshore financial networks and criminality, human rights and dissent, and paramilitary organizations.
