Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili is an associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs and founding director of the Center for Governance and Markets. She also serves as a nonresident scholar in the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Her academic career bridges rigorous scholarly research with practical policy engagement across multiple international institutions. Dr. Murtazashvili's research focuses on self-governance, security, political economy, and public sector reform in the developing world, with particular expertise in Afghanistan and Central Asia. Her work examines the intersection of formal state institutions and customary governance structures, challenging conventional approaches to state-building and democracy promotion.
