Research Interests
Governance and economic development in Southeast Asia

Christian von Luebke is a political economist with particular interest in governance and economic development in Southeast Asia. He is currently working on a book that analyzes the determinants for local policy variation in Post-Suharto Indonesia. During his Shorenstein Fellowship at Shorenstein APARC (2008–09), he seeks to extend his work on local governance to other Asian transition countries, in particular China and the Philippines.

Before coming to Stanford, Dr. von Luebke was a research fellow at the Center of Global Political Economy (COE-GLOPE), Waseda University, Tokyo, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Jakarta. He received a JSPS postdoctoral scholarship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and a Crawford PhD scholarship from the Australian National University.

Between 2001 and 2006, he worked in rural Indonesia as a technical advisor for the World Bank and GTZ. In 2007, he was part of an international research team at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) analyzing the effects of public-private action on investment and growth.

Dr. von Luebke completed his Ph.D. in 2007 in policy and governance at the Crawford School of Economics and Government, the Australian National University. He also holds a masters in Economics and a B.A. in Business and Political Science from Muenster University.
