João Pedro Martins is a Ph.D. student in Government at Harvard University. His research focuses on international organizations, institutional design, and comparative regionalism. He studies how global and regional institutions evolve, survive, and respond to political and economic challenges. Within this broader agenda, he is particularly interested in trade policy and human rights governance. His methodological interests include causal inference, event history analysis, and text-as-data approaches, which he combines with historical and comparative perspectives to analyze institutional development.
Originally from Saquarema, Brazil, João Pedro earned a B.A. in International Relations from the University of São Paulo.
