Sarah M. Brooks

  • Comparative and international political economy
  • Latin American Politics

  • Professor Brooks has research and teaching interests in comparative and international political economy, Latin American politics and social protection. Her research interests center on the relationship between the state and market in social and economic relations, risk protection and income security.  Her book, Social Protection and the Market: The Transformation of Social Security Institutions in Latin America, is in production at Cambridge University Press.

    She has also published in The American Journal of Political Science, The Journal of Politics, World Politics, International Studies Quarterly and Comparative Political Studies, and has written chapters in edited volumes such as Learning from Foreign Models in Latin American Policy Reform (Weyland, ed., 2004),  New Ideas about Old Age Security (Stiglitz and Holzmann, eds., 2001) and Pension Reform: Issues and Prospects for Non-Financial Defined Contribution (NDC) Schemes (Holzmann and Palmer, eds., 2006). Her current research includes analyses of sovereign risk and government policy autonomy, path dependence in policy diffusion and the politics of risk protection.
