Professor Solingen studies the reciprocal influence between international security and international political economy, and between domestic and international politics. She is interested in internationalization, international and comparative political economy, institutional theory, regional and international security regimes, democratization, and the comparative political economy of science and technology. Solingen is the author of Nuclear Logics: Contrasting Paths in East Asia and the Middle East (Princeton U.P.), recipient of the APSA’s 2008 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book on government, politics, and international affairs, and the 2008 APSA's Robert Jervis and Paul Schroeder Award for the Best Book on International History and Politics. She also authored Regional Orders at Century's Dawn: Global and Domestic Influences on Grand Strategy (Princeton U.P.) and Industrial Policy, Technology, and International Bargaining: Designing Nuclear Industries in Argentina and Brazil (Stanford U.P.), and edited Scientists and the State (U. of Michigan Press) and Sanctions, Statecraft, and Nuclear Proliferation (Cambridge U.P.). Her ISA presidential address, “Of Dominoes and Firewalls: The Domestic, Regional, and Global Politics of International Diffusion,” was published in International Studies Quarterly (December 2012). Her articles appeared in the American Political Science Review, International Security, International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, Comparative Politics, Journal of Peace Research, Review of International Studies, Journal of Theoretical Politics, Global Governance, Journal of Democracy, International Relations of the Asia- Pacific, Asian Survey, International History Review, International Politics, Contemporary Southeast Asia, and New Political economy among others.
