Fulya Apaydin is an Associate Professor at Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI), Spain. Her work is situated at the intersection of comparative politics and international studies with a particular emphasis on the political economy of development. Broadly, she is interested in how investment policies across emerging economies are transformed in face of global pressures, and how political actors respond to these challenges at the local and national levels. She is currently focused on two interrelated lines of research: a first project unpacks the rise of private debt regimes in the Global South, explaining cross-national variations in the governance of credit allocation. A second project examines the causes and consequences of the new space race as part of industrial policy in the 21st century. Fulya holds a PhD from Brown University. Previously, she was a visiting researcher at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies. Her work has been published in scholarly journals such as World Development, Regulation and Governance, Socio-economic Review, Review of International Political Economy, and Competition & Change, among others. She is the author of Technology, Institutions and Labor: Manufacturing Automobiles in Argentina and Turkey (Palgrave, 2018)
