Yuriko Takahashi is associate professor of comparative politics and public policy at Waseda University in Japan. I have published several articles on political manipulation of anti-poverty spending in Latin America and currently working to complete a book manuscript. In addition, I am starting a new project on political behavior of Mexican immigrants in the US by combining network analysis and causal inference.
