Jokubas Salyga

Resume

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

My research focuses broadly on historical sociology and the political economy of capitalist development in East-Central Europe. I am particularly interested in post-communist transformations in the Baltic states, the origins and forms of resistance to neoliberal restructuring in East-Central Europe and the former Soviet Union, and concepts in historical materialism.

My work—including articles, book reviews, and commentaries—has been published in Globalizations, The Economic and Labour Relations Review, Global Political Economy, Thesis Eleven, Journal of Baltic Studies, Europe-Asia Studies, Historical Materialism, Political Studies Review, Progress in Political Economy, Jacobin, and other outlets.

I serve as an Associate Editor for Global Political Economy journal and sit on the editorial board of Alternatives. I am a member of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies.
