Rob Jenkins

Rob Jenkins is Professor of Political Science at Hunter College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York, where he is also a Faculty Associate in the Human Rights Program at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute. He has published widely on post-conflict peacebuilding (e.g., the role of the United Nations), on the politics of governance reform (e.g., rights-based approaches to development), and on the politics of India (e.g., the role of business in policymaking). Through 2024, he is co-directing a research project (with Anne Marie Goetz of NYU) on “Gender and Governance Reform in the Philippines,” part of the London School of Economics’ Gender, Justice, and Security Programme. It builds on earlier collaborative research on addressing conflict-related sexual violence, women’s political agency in the security field, and the relationship between global political developments and the international peacebuilding agenda.
