Howdy! I do Political Economy and Public Administration from both Comparative and American perspectives. I am fascinated by strategic interactions between different types of political actors. I research how the interactions shape public administration and public policy outcomes.

@JohnHolbein1 I’m a PhD candidate at Texas A&M. My dissertation looks at how too many candidates in US primaries negatively impacts voters and the media. I also have a working paper that finds Democrats are now advantaged in low turnout elections.

Whenever revising my article, I feel like this would be my final draft. The sentences appear vivid, the paragraphs strong, and the flow fluent. I say to myself I nailed it… until reading it again a week later.

[Jonghoon Lee @PhD_Jonghoon]

@yeonsoo_park_ Congrats!

[Jonghoon Lee @PhD_Jonghoon]

Thanks for introducing such an interesting article. I also have a work in progress that investigate women’s strategic choices of partisanship for success in gendered elections. I hope my research would be ready to share with everyone ASAP!

[Jonghoon Lee @PhD_Jonghoon]

I will offer my theoretical arguments on this interesting question today. Please come and visit my presentation at 11:30 - 1:00, Salon 1 #2022MPSA. I hope to see you there! (2/2)

Delegating the authority of corruption investigation and prosecution is a risky choice for incumbents. However, we observe a global dramatic increase in the establishment of anti-corruption agencies. Why do incumbents enact such a risky reform? (1/2)
