Research interests focus on comparative politics, regime change and democratization, civil society and social movements and East European politics and societies. Current projects explore civil society development in new democracies in Central Europe and East Asia, state mobilized contention in authoritarian and hybrid regimes and patterns of political and economic transformations in the post-communist world.
