Dan Slater's dissertation examines how patterns of contentious politics have shaped the long-term development of parties, states, and regimes in seven Southeast Asian countries. He also has ongoing research projects relating to the role of nationalism and religion in sparking and strengthening democratization movements, the challenges of imposing effective accountability on political elites in new democracies (with a focus on Indonesia), and the contributions of Southeast Asian political studies to theoretical knowledge in comparative politics.
