About
Ori Tamir is a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Sociology at the University of Michigan. He earned his PhD in Sociology from the University of California, Davis, in 2024 with a dissertation titled A Relational Theory of Globalization. His research examines the intellectual and political origins of globalization in American foreign policy, with attention to its political, economic, and expert dimensions. Drawing on sociology, history, international relations, and political economy, his work highlights how U.S. policymakers conceptualized and managed globalization in the late twentieth century. He is currently developing two articles: Managing Interdependence, which traces the political and intellectual roots of globalization among American foreign policymakers, and The Domestication of American Monetary Policy, which explores how the Federal Reserve withdrew from managing the international monetary system.
