Mentor Areas

I study economic sanctions and their various effects on states targeted by them. Voting patterns in the United Nations General Assembly, the EU as an actor in the international system, and drivers of the liberal peace (economic interdependence, joint democracy, and joint membership in Intergovernmental Organizations) as they relate to economic sanctions are all of interest to me.

Description:

This project seeks to determine the effect bilateral economic interdependence of EU member states on Iran has on EU member state's support for economic sanctions against the regime. Students will learn how to calculate bilateral economic interdependence and will examine speeches made by members of the European Parliament. Students will learn some basic content analysis skills and will use them to "code" or classify speeches made by members of the European Parliament on the following five point scale: 1=very opposed; 2=opposed; 3=indeterminate/neutral; 4=supportive; 5=very supportive
