Dr. Michaela Pedersen-Macnab’s research focuses on three main themes. Her primary research program examines the political effects of deception and information-sharing in global governance. Her first book project investigates why international institutions sometimes tolerate deception by their member states. A second strand of her research explores how the strength of international norms—such as the prohibition against data manipulation—shapes the likelihood of their enforcement. Finally, she studies the sources of foreign policy failures as well as how middle powers such as Canada strategically use entry into and exit from international institutions to advance their foreign policy objectives.
