Naomi Egel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Affairs at the University of Georgia. She is also a Faculty Fellow at the Benson-Bertsch Center for International Trade and Security, where she directs the Weapons Governance Lab. Her research focuses on the intersection of international security and international institutions. She examines the politics of arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements, and why and how such agreements vary in their design and development. Her research also examines the role of small states in international relations, how international organizations shape the behavior of member states, and how framing cues can shape public opinion on international security issues. She uses a variety of methods in my research, including archival sources, elite interviews, survey experiments, text analysis, and large-N regression analysis. Her research has been published in the Journal of Politics, the Review of International Organizations, the European Journal of International Relations, the Journal of Strategic Studies, and Research & Politics. Her analyses have been published in The Washington Quarterly, War on the Rocks, Just Security, the Washington Post, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and Foreign Affairs.
