How does transparency affect the behavior of international bureaucrats tasked with facilitating negotiations? In new work with Sojun Park in the Review of International Organizations (doi.org/10.1007/s115..., it’s open access!), we provide an answer in the context of the WTO.

Domestic Distributional Roots of National Interest
Domestic Distributional Roots of National Interest By Soyoung Lee, Yale University and Duke University. What international issues become national interests worth fighting for, and why?

Congratulations to @soyounglee.bsky.social for BEST dissertation award at Peace Science!
🥳 My paper is out @iojournal.bsky.social!
Two main empirical takeaways:
1. States often don't fight over lands with resources, even when they can claim it for historical reasons.
2. Historical boundaries matter in how states shape their territorial claims.
For more, abstract and paper below!
