This blog features a variety of works from my academic career and range from my undergraduate studies to the present. Many of the older works have not been edited and have been posted in their original form. As such, they may vary in quality and should be read through the frame of a student continually growing academically.

While the majority of works here focus on topics in Political Science, there are a number of others focused on different topics as well. Feel free to reach out to me at my personal email benjamin.g.sylvia@gmail.com for any questions or comments.

Please enjoy!
