My name is Jan Pierskalla and I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the Ohio State University. I study the political economy of development, violence, and state-building, with a particular interest in bureaucracies.

Together with Florian Hollenbach, I am also the co-organizer of the Virtual Workshop in Historical Political Economy.
