These efforts have appeared in more than thirty peer-reviewed articles, printed in some of the leading general and specialized journals. He has received grants as PI and co-PI from the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. National Science Foundation, along with research fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, Zentrum für Interkulturelle Studien in Germany and Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in France. His work has been recognized with several awards, including most recently the Deil S. Wright Best Paper Award from the American Political Science's section on Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations. 

He received his Ph.D. in political science and M.A. in economics from Duke University, along with degrees from the University of Chicago, the University of London and Boston University, and was the Henry Hart Rice Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University.
