• PhD in Political Science, West Virginia University, 1994

Krause's research centers on governance, accountability, and representation in the United States, spanning Public Administration, Bureaucracy, Organizational Theory, Executive Politics, Political Economy, Legislative Politics, and Subnational Politics. His current work investigates bureaucratic leadership in federal agencies, executive authority dynamics, administrative performance metrics, shared power arrangements in the administrative state, and fiscal policymaking mechanisms within democratic systems.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a concentrated focus on political-bureaucratic interactions, particularly examining how institutional constraints (separation of powers, partisan control) and organizational design affect administrative outcomes. His work demonstrates methodological sophistication through longitudinal federal/state data analysis, with recurring themes in appointment politics, crisis-driven adaptation, fiscal inequality, and equity-focused public management.

Honors:

• Alumni Foundation Distinguished Professorship at the University of Georgia
