Eve Warburton
Qualifications
PhD Australian National University
Eve Warburton’s research is concerned broadly with problems of representation and governance in young and developing democracies, with a focus on Southeast Asia and Indonesia in particular. A fundamental question animates much of the work that she does: under what conditions do different categories of citizens (from business elites to lower-class citizens, to minorities and women) have their interests and preferences channelled into the policymaking arena, especially in countries such as Indonesia where conventional democratic mechanisms for representation are weak or constrained? In asking this question, her research strives to bring the Indonesian case into conversation with comparative scholarships on democratic representation and the political economy of policymaking.
