Layna Mosley
Mosley is Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of North Carolina. Her research and teaching interests fall into the broad areas of international relations, international political economy, and comparative political economy. Her research explores the effects of international capital mobility -- and, in particularly, sovereign finance -- on government policy choices, the role of private sector actors in global financial regulation, and the relationship between labor rights and multinational production. Prior to arriving at the University of North Carolina in 2004, Mosley was a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame.
