I research the politics of power and interdependence in the global economy, and often use complex network theory and methodology to analyze these systems. My substantive interests include the political economy of finance and regulation, business-government relations, security and innovation, and global production chains and trade networks.

Works-in-progress (…and zombies)
Sarah Bauerle Danzman, Rashid Marcano-Rivera, and W. Kindred Winecoff. Various papers/manuscripts from The Political Economy of Business-Government Connections project, submissions underway and will continue through at least 2025.
W. Kindred Winecoff. “Structural Power and the Federal Reserve’s International Lending During the Global Financial Crisis.” Revise and resubmit, International Interactions. Trump got elected, I got distracted, never resubmitted. Later revise and resubmit, Business and Politics. Covid-19 happened, I prioritized other Fed-related projects, and I again did not resubmit. Now I’m revising to include the Covid-19 case and turn into larger project.
W. Kindred Winecoff. “Power and Prominence in the Global Monetary System: Where It Comes From, What It Means, and How It Is(n’t?) Changing.” Presented at a 2017 conference at the Centre for Rising Powers, University of Cambridge and the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics, Kyoto, Japan. (Being rolled into the above project.)
Elizabeth Menninga and W. Kindred Winecoff. “Complex Interdependence as a Multiplex Network Phenomenon.” Presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the International Studies Association, San Francisco, CA; the 2018 Annual Meeting of Political Networks Conference, George Mason University, Arlington, VA; and the 2019 Annual Meeting of Network Science in Economics, Indiana University Bloomington. Heather Ba was onboarded. We’ll probably finish this one.
Samuel Brazys and W. Kindred Winecoff. “The Politics of Prominence and the Struggle for Position in the Network of Preferential Trade Agreements.” Presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the International Political Economy Society, Durham, NC. We might revisit this one day. The issue with this version is that one of our key assumptions — states are often interested in making preferential trade agreements — was seriously called into question, and we need to account for that.
Damian Raess, Dora Sari, and W. Kindred Winecoff. “The Diffusion of Labor Provisions in PTAs: The Case of the Global South.” Presented at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, San Francisco, CA. This is probably dead (mea culpa, sorry folks!).
Alexander Antony, Rashid Marcano-Rivera, Bilyana Petrova and W. Kindred Winecoff. “Mapping the Hidden Wealth of Nations: The Paradise Papers As a Covert Network.” Presented at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association, Chicago, IL., and at a few other talks in various places. This is a very cool project but the data are such a mess that I don’t know if anything will ever come out of it. I hope so, though.
