Seoul National UniversityChaeEun Cho currently serves as an Assistant Professor at Bilkent University, following a distinguished academic journey that began with her B.A. in Political Science and Communication from the University of Washington at Seattle, followed by an M.A. in International Relations from Seoul National University, and culminating in a Ph.D. in Political Science from Vanderbilt University. Her research expertise lies at the intersection of international security, international political economy, and political methodology, with particular focus on economic statecraft and third-party interventions in civil conflicts. Her work examines how different actors in the international system affect the implementation of economic statecraft, including the conditions under which third-party states and private actors cooperate on economic sanctions. During her time at Seoul National University, she developed her foundational research on international intervention in civil wars, which has evolved into a broader research agenda exploring threat perception, sanctions compliance, and the complex dynamics of economic coercion in international relations.
