Profile Articles Activity

My research on the comparative political economy of development and conflict has been featured in several prominent journals including Nations and Nationalism and the Journal of Institutional Economics. I was the co-editor of the book volume Nile Basin Politics, which examines domestic and nationalist drivers of regional rivalries in the Nile Basin. I am currently working on two sole-authored book projects. In "Violence, Rents, and Institutions", I examine how elite patronage networks and institutional norms determine the stability of political orders. In "Economic Freedom and Self Governance in Africa", I draw from the liberal contractarian tradition and my fieldwork in East Africa to provide contrasting insights into the state's role in facilitating social-economic transactions and technological integration.
