Dr. Kim's research examines the political economy of development in Africa with an emphasis on ethnicity, voting, and the emerging field of Human Security Studies, focusing on (1) the extent to which marginalized communities across the globe experience threats to their human security; and (2) generating solutions for such threats. Her recent work has been published or forthcoming in Electoral Studies, Political Research Quarterly, Social Science Quarterly, Africa Spectrum and Habitat International among others, and her book manuscript titled Persistent Loyalty: Political Power and the Logic of Co-Ethnic Marginalization in Africa is under contract from Routledge.
