Cameron Mailhot

Cameron Mailhot is an Assistant Professor in the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona. Broadly, his research lies at the intersection of international organizations, international security, peace and conflict processes, democratization, and statebuilding. More specifically, his research examines the short- and long-term role that the international community plays in countries' political (post-conflict and post-authoritarian) transitions, with a particular focus on Eastern Europe. Recent work of his examines the determinants of social and political trust in these contexts. His research has been published in the American Journal of Political Science, International Studies Quarterly, and Small Wars & Insurgencies. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2023. 

Originally from Northern Minnesota, Cameron enjoys spending his time outside hiking and skiing. As a FGLI student, he is always glad to speak with other FGLI students about his or their experiences in higher education and academia, more broadly.
