Research Interests
I am interested in history and theory of both the particular peace-proneness and the use of force by liberal states (democracies). Initially the focus of this interest was on the Democratic Peace proposition but more recently the focus has been more on liberal state intervention.Research grants and projects
Project details
I am presently working on an article on historical variation in practices of intervention and a book provisionally entitled ‘Democracy and War’.
