Pauline Jones Luong's research focuses on explaining institutional origin and change and, more broadly, regime transition and state formation. It reveals the strengths and limitations of existing institutionalist approaches and highlights the critical role that identity, elite bargaining, and popular mobilization play in the process of institutional design. The primary empirical focus of her work to date has been the former Soviet Union. Her two current book projects on institution-building in mineral-rich states and the international effects of domestic state strategies toward Islamist mobilization, however, both extend beyond the post-communist world.
