Welcome! I am a political scientist and international development professional with two decades of experience in academia, applied policy research, and research management. I am currently a Senior Research Fellow with the United Nations University's World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) in Helsinki. I work on the comparative politics of developing countries, with particular attention to issues of inequality, ethnic and identity politics, aid and state fragility, governance, democracy and democratization, and sub-Saharan African politics. This website is under construction. For my CV and links to webpages for current projects, please see here. Most of my recent publications are open access. Current contact information: Rachel M.
