About

Hello and thanks for visiting my website! My name is Matt Malis, and I’m an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the IE School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs at IE University. Before joining IE, I was an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Texas A&M University (2023-2026), and before that, a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (2022-2023). I received my Ph.D. in Politics from New York University in 2022.

My research focuses on questions of delegation and accountability in foreign policy. My work has been published at International Organization, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Theoretical Politics, Games, and multiple edited volumes. Here is my google scholar page. You can check out my ongoing and published research projects here, as well as some datasets I’ve constructed on US diplomacy here. Teaching materials are available here.
