Deborah J. Yashar is Professor of Politics and International Affairs and Director of Princeton's Program in Latin American Studies (PLAS). Her research focuses on the intersection of democracy and citizenship - with books and articles on regime outcomes, citizenship regimes, ethnic politics, collective action, party systems, and globalization. She is the author of two books: Demanding Democracy: Reform and Reaction in Costa Rica and Guatemala (Stanford University Press, 1997) and Contesting Citizenship in Latin America: The Rise of Indigenous Movements and the Postliberal Challenge (Cambridge University Press, 2005). Her current book project focuses on the contemporary rise in violent crime and the uneven record of Latin America's third wave democracies to provide public security and rule of law. Yashar has received fellowships and awards from Fulbright, the Joint Committee on Latin American Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council, the United States Institute of Peace, and the Helen Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame, among others.
