Katja Kleinberg’s research focuses on the sources and dynamics of international conflict. She specializes in economic interdependence with a particular interest in sanctions and coercive bargaining. Current research in this area examines the role of partisan politics and reputations in economic statecraft. Another current project investigates the impact of economic interests on individual’s foreign policy attitudes toward particular states, as well as on the foreign policies adopted by governments. A third ongoing research effort seeks to explain which factors contribute to success in proxy wars and third-party intervention in armed conflicts, paying close attention to the principal-agent dynamics between state-sponsors and non-state insurgents.
Her teaching interests include international relations theory and conflict processes, terrorism, international organization, and the politics of European integration. She will join the Binghamton faculty in 2009.
