Kris Johnson is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Politics Department. Her research interests lie broadly in the fields of international and comparative political economy and more specifically in the linkages between domestic politics and economic globalization. In her dissertation work, she seeks to explain why multinational firms based in different countries choose to locate their investments in some host states over others by emphasizing the role of domestic governments in the FDI process. She is particularly interested in comparing the early location patterns of firms in the industrialized West to those of firms in the current emerging markets, with a focus on China.
Kris is currently a Visiting Scholar at Peking University, Beijing, where she teaches a course in International Political Economy at the Graduate School for International Studies and is working on implementing a large-scale survey of outward-investing Chinese firms.
