Mark Copelovitch is Assistant Professor of Public Affairs and Political Science. Professor Copelovitch studies and teaches international political economy, with a focus on global financial governance, exchange rates and monetary institutions, the effects of global capital flows on national economic policies, and theories of international cooperation.

Global Finance and the International Monetary Fund, which explores the influence of changing patterns of financial globalization on International Monetary Fund lending policies.
