Sujeong Shim

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at New York University Abu Dhabi.  Previously, I was a postdoc fellow at the University of Zurich. I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2021 with an award-winning dissertation. 

 

My research interests lie at the intersection of international political economy, international organizations, and domestic politics. I am currently working on a book project which examines the dynamics among the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the mass public in a borrower country, and international investors. The project is based on my Ph.D. dissertation, which won the Best Dissertation Award in IR at UW-Madison. Beyond the book project, I work on topics including international financial and monetary relations, investment agreements, and public opinion. My works are published or forthcoming at Comparative Political Studies, International Studies Quarterly, and Regulation & Governance. 

​

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. While I am based in Abu Dhabi most of the time, I frequently travel to the US and Europe. During the summer, I spend time in Seoul.
