Research Summary

I work primarily on the politics of international law and global constitutionalism, focused on the "hard cases" of intervention, torture, peacebuilding and the governance of the global commons. Tying these areas together is an interest in how uncertainty changes and challenges the practice of responsibility. My general approach to this is informed by the republican tradition (particularly the Augustinian variety) and the English School. I have two projects in development. The first explores diplomacy and the ethics of non-intervention, focusing on Syria. The second looks at how the structural features of the ''global commons'' impact on the governance of terrorism, piracy, smuggling and cybercrime - and what this means for the future of global crime and punishment.
