Professor Razo's research interests are in the field of comparative politics,
with a concentration on the political economy of development. His research
and teaching center around two themes: (1) how political institutions in
developing countries affect economic performance; and (2) the study of
political institutions and political organization in dictatorships. He
teaches courses in comparative politics, positive political economy, and Latin
American politics. He is currently working on a book manuscript about social
networks and political institutions in dictatorships. He is co-author with
Stephen Haber and Noel Maurer of The Politics of Property Rights (2003). He
has published articles in World Politics, the Journal of Economic History, and
the Journal of Latin American Studies.
