我的研究主要围绕与威权政体动态有关的中层理论而展开。在国家层面，我关注政治稳定和民主转型的经济根源，包括经济发展、经济危机、政治经济结构等。在个体层面，我关注影响公民政治支持的各类因素，尤其是大众传媒与新媒体的影响。

With a core interest in the political dynamics in authoritarian countries, my research focuses on two areas of comparative politics. At the aggregate level, I study the economic origins of regime stability and democratic transition, including economic development, economic crises, and political economic structure. At the individual level, I investigate the determinants of political support for the authoritarian regime, such as the mass media and the Internet.
