Gustavo Guajardo received his M.A. and Ph.D. in political science from Rice University and his B.A. from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM). His research agenda explores how corruption and accountability intersect with electoral institutions, legislative behavior, and representation, with a regional focus in Latin America. Guajardo’s dissertation examines the conditions under which politicians advance anticorruption reform, and his work often employs large-n observational data analysis, causal inference, natural experiments, and elite interviews from fieldwork experiences. Guajardo’s articles have been published in the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, and Legislative Studies Quarterly.
