Current Research
Book manuscript
Can authoritarian states like China utilize domestic politics to their advantage in international bargaining? What role do popular nationalism and anti-foreign protest play in Chinese foreign policy? I argue that nationalist street demonstrations provide diplomatic leverage for authoritarian governments that are not electorally accountable to public opinion. In China, anti-Japanese protests were tolerated in 1985 and 2005 but banned in 1990 and 1996. Anti-American protests were permitted in 1999 and 2003 but repressed in 2001. Similar patterns of repression and facilitation are readily apparent in Egypt, Iran, Syria, and other non-democratic regimes. Why, when, and how do authoritarian governments give their citizens a green, yellow, or red light to protest against foreign targets? I develop and test a theory of anti-foreign protest that suggests that Chinese and other authoritarian leaders have incentives to allow anti-foreign protests in order to gain diplomatic bargaining leverage.
