Assistant Professor of Political Science, School of Politics and Global Studies, Arizona State University
Margaret's research focuses on authoritarian politics and factors which stabilise or, conversely, undermine dictators’ (and aspiring dictators’) control, with an emphasis on the former Soviet Union.
More specifically, she is interested in how formal and informal institutions interact to shape governance in autocracies; her work centres on the role of law, courts, and corruption.
She teaches classes in comparative politics, authoritarian politics, political economy, and research methods.
