Sciences Po and Brown University Joint Program on Political Science: National Identity in a Globalized World

Faculty at Brown University

Pauline Jones-Luong | Associate Professor of Political Science, Brown University

Pauline Jones-Luong's research focuses on explaining institutional origin and change and, more broadly, regime transition and state formation. It reveals the strengths and limitations of existing institutionalist approaches and highlights the critical role that identity, elite bargaining, and popular mobilization play in the process of institutional design. The primary empirical focus of her work to date has been the former Soviet Union. Her two current book projects on institution-building in mineral-rich states and the international effects of domestic state strategies toward Islamist mobilization, however, both extend beyond the post-communist world.

Pauline Jones Luong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science. From 1998-2004, she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Yale University. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1998 and was a Harvard Academy Scholar from 1998-1999 and 2001-2002. Her primary research interests include: institutional origin and change; identity and conflict; and the political economy of market reform. Her empirical work focuses primarily on the former Soviet Union. She has published articles in several leading academic and policy journals, including the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Current History, Europe-Asia Studies, Foreign Affairs, Perspectives on Politics, Politics and Society, and Resources Policy. Her books include Institutional Change and Political Continuity in Post-Soviet Central Asia: Power, Perceptions, and Pacts (Cambridge 2002) and The Transformation of Central Asia: States and Societies from Soviet Rule to Independence (Cornell 2003). Her current book projects include 1) Enriching the State: Resource Wealth, Ownership Structure, and Institutional Capacity and 2) State Strategies, Islamic Radicalism, and International Security.
