Dr. Bauerly specializes in international political economy, comparative politics, international relations, and food studies. His research interests lie in the relationship between economic change, social and political movements, and the politics of state institutional capacity building. His book, The Agrarian Seeds of Empire, traces the relationship between economic development and agrarian movements in the U.S., outlining how farmer’s resistance produced unique forms of state building and institutional strength. He has published in the Journal of Peasant Studies and the Journal of Historical Sociology. His current research projects include a political history of the U.S.D.A and a comparative study of the relationship between rising economic inequality, state austerity, and hard right political movements across advanced democracies.
