Andrew Radin

I am a PhD candidate at MIT’s Political Science Department and an affiliate of the Security Studies Program. My dissertation is entitled “Politics as War by other Means: The Limits of Third-party State-building after Civil Wars.” It studies the outcome of different third-parties’ efforts to reform political institutions in post-civil wars states. My other interests include civil war, international intervention, and post-conflict reconstruction. I have conducted fieldwork in Bosnia, and will be conducting further research in Kosovo and East Timor.

I am also the coordinator of the MIT Identity Politics Working Group, and affiliated with the Violent Non-State Actor Group. I received my BA in Political Science and Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 2005.
