Area of Study

[hifriends]

Hi all, I'm just curious to hear what your respective areas of study are. I'm still deciding between examining comparative state and nation-building processes in Yemen and the Iraq vs. looking at how China's foreign policy endeavours in Africa evolved in the era of post-colonial independence.

Hello there! I made a poll earlier concerning the subfield of all the 2014 season applicants, it looks like most people here are IR or comparativists.

 

I personally am an American guy, I want to look at legislative institutions (Congress/state legislatures), particularly examining the ways that certain theories of Congressional organization/processes hold true across state legislatures and vary. I'm also interested in the effects of things like polarization and religious identification. So you're not the only one who has broad interests. : )
