About

My Name is Tatsiana Kulakevich, and I am a Visiting Professor in Research Methods and Quantitative Analysis.

My research focuses on international political economy, migration, and ethnic politics. My specialties include Comparative Politics, International Relations, Eastern European politics, and Quantitative Methods.

My dissertation examines the distribution of FDI and the role of immigration into the countries with weak rule of law. While weak rule of law discourages non-migrant investors to send FDI to the countries with non-transparent legal framework, I argue that migrant investors are inclined to make FDI to their home countries despite weak rule of law.

My analyses appeared in media and academic journals, including The Monkey Cage - Washington Post, Belarus Digest, and East European Politics and Societies: and Cultures.
