Aaron Schneider. Professor Schneider's work focuses on the intersection of wealth and power, and he has conducted research in Latin America, India, and Sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, he emphasizes the study of public finance as a window into the political economy of development and democracy. The way governments secure contributions from key social groups and how states decide what to do with the money tells a story about the nature of national political communities-who is in, who is out, and who will enjoy what benefits of membership. His books and articles address state-building, democracy, and development in Latin America and South Asia, urban politics and development in the United States, and the challenges of digital transformation.
