Tyler Jost is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International and Public Affairs at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. His research focuses on national security decision-making, bureaucratic politics, and Chinese foreign policy. He holds a Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University and has held postdoctoral fellowships at Columbia University and Dartmouth College. His first book, Bureaucracies at War (Cambridge University Press, 2024), examines how bureaucratic institutions influence foreign policy outcomes. He is currently working on a second book about cooperation between the U.S. and China involving peripheral states.
His research spans topics such as bureaucratic communication, cyber coercion, and autocratic institutions, with a focus on China’s foreign policy dynamics. Teaching includes courses on Chinese foreign policy, U.S.-China relations, and national security decision-making. His recent work has been published in International Organization, International Security, and Foreign Affairs.
Key areas of interest include understanding how institutional designs shape policy advice, the role of military ties in civilian leadership challenges in China, and the strategic use of coercive tactics in international politics. Jost’s interdisciplinary approach combines qualitative, statistical, and experimental methods to analyze elite adviser behavior and bureaucratic competition.
