Since the close of World War II, states have undertaken efforts to shape the institutional architecture of the postwar international security order by proposing to build and/or to rebuild institutions and associated institutional entities and agents pertaining to global security issues.
In seeking to explain variation in observed institutional design, Prof. Westra has involved undergraduate student research assistants in a multiyear research project collecting and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data.
