Philip Arena

I am a graduate student in the Department of Political Science at the Pennsylvania State University. I will be starting as an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York in August 2008.

My research explores the links between domestic politics and international relations. I focus primarily on the links between party competition and international conflict. To advance such arguments, I develop game-theoretic models and subject their implications to empirical testing using statistical methods.
