About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Dan Slater<\/strong> (Ph.D. Emory, 2005) specializes in the politics and history of enduring dictatorships and emerging democracies, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. He came to Michigan in 2017 after twelve years on the faculty at the University of Chicago, where he served as Director of the Center for International Social Science Research (CISSR), Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, and associate member in the Department of Sociology. His book examining how divergent historical patterns of contentious politics have shaped variation in state power and authoritarian durability in seven Southeast Asian countries, entitled\u00a0<\/span>Ordering Power: Contentious Politics and Authoritarian Leviathans in Southeast Asia<\/em>, was published in the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series in 2010. His latest book is entitled\u00a0<\/span>From Development to Democracy: The Transformations of Modern Asia<\/em>\u00a0(Princeton University Press, 2022), which explores why rapid economic development has led to democratization in some Asian countries but not others. His published articles can be found in disciplinary journals such as the\u00a0<\/span>American Journal of Political Science, American Journal of Sociology, Annual Review of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Politics, Comparative Political Studies, Democratization, Government & Opposition, International Organization, Perspectives on Politics, Social Science History, Studies in Comparative International Development,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>World Politics<\/em>, as well as Asia-oriented journals such as\u00a0<\/span>Critical Asian Studies,\u00a0Indonesia,\u00a0Journal of East Asian Studies,\u00a0South East Asia Research,\u00a0Taiwan Journal of Democracy,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and<\/span>\u00a0TRANS<\/em>. Before commencing his doctoral studies at Emory in 1999 he received a B.A. in International Relations and History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an M.A. in International Studies from the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington, and spent ten months as a Fulbright scholar in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1998. Beyond Southeast Asia, he has done international consulting work on challenges related to democratization and demilitarization in cases such as Ethiopia, Fiji, and Pakistan. He has also recently worked as a consultant and nonresident fellow with international policy organizations such as the American Enterprise Institute, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Freedom House, OECD, and World Bank.\u00a0 [From https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/polisci\/people\/faculty\/dnsltr.html<\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
