Irene W.

Hello, everyone. I'm Irene, and I started this working group because I thought those of us who are political scientists working in the government might have an interesting perspective to offer other APSA members.

Currently, I work as research director in the international section of the Federal Communications Commission, the US regulatory agency for telecom, media and Internet services. I cover all regions of the world and spend most of my time reviewing regulatory and policy papers generated by international government organizations and directing agency work when it involves covering more than one country or region of the world.

Recently, I published a book with Stanford University Press, From Iron Fist to Invisible Hand: the Uneven Path of Telecommunications Reform in China. Also, I am an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, where I have been teaching a graduate seminar on regulating international communications networks.

I look forward to meeting everyone in the working group at the upcoming annual meeting.
