Shana Marshall is Associate Director of the Institute for Middle East Studies and Research Faculty member at the George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs. She earned her PhD in International Relations and Comparative Politics of the Middle East at the University of Maryland in 2012. Her dissertation, “The New Politics of Patronage: The Arms Trade and Clientelism in the Arab World” (forthcoming, Columbia University Press) examines how Middle East governments use arms sales agreements to channel financial resources and economic privileges to pro-regime elites. Her work has appeared in The Middle East Report (MERIP), The International Journal of Middle East Studies, Middle East Policy, Jadaliyya, and the Carnegie Middle East Center.
Prior to coming to George Washington University, Shana was a research fellow at The Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University (2011-2012) and the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University (2010-2011). Her current research focuses on patterns of military entrepreneurship in Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE and how these are shaped by the business practices of private multinational defense firms. She is also interested in how modes and patterns of bribery and corruption are institutionalized over time and incorporated into existing legal regimes. |
