I just uploaded a group of papers from my days at Johns Hopkins SAIS. These were on my old personal website and people seemed to enjoy them. If you have some time, you can check out some ramblings on politics, economics, and defense issues related to China, India, Japan, Korea, and Mexico by following the links in the Grad School Days section on the right side of the page.
