Hyeon-Young Ro teaches Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Quantitative Methods. Her research examines domestic firms' preferences over regulations governing inbound foreign direct investment (FDI). Ro's research interests also include the politics of cross-border mergers and acquisitions, particularly how governments use policy tools to regulate foreign multinational corporations' activity. More broadly, she studies how domestic special interest groups influence trade and FDI policymaking. Ro's work has been published in International Studies Quarterly. She is currently working on a project examining patterns of paradiplomacy and international agreements at the sub-national level.
