Professor Lind is an Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth and the author of the new book, Autocracy 2.0: How China’s Rise Reinvented Tyranny. It argues that China has risen to become a superpower and technological leader – which defies the expectations of an influential school of economic thought that holds that liberal institutions are essential for innovation. Lind’s first book was Sorry States: Apologies in International Politics, which examines the effect of war memory on international reconciliation. She has authored scholarly articles in International Security and International Studies Quarterly, and writes for wider audiences in outlets such as Foreign Affairs and National Interest. Lind is also editor in chief of Blue Blaze, a multi-author Substack focusing on international relations and US foreign policy.  Professor Lind is affiliated with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard, as well as Chatham House, London. In recent years she has been a visiting scholar at Waseda University, Japan, and at the School for Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. Lind has worked as a consultant for RAND and for the Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Defense.
