Research Interests
My primary research interests are in International Relations theory, with a particular focus on how theories are applied and on how explanations are constructed. Much of my current work is on the relationship between social scientific and historical approaches to the study of international relations and associated issues in the philosophies of history and social science. I am also interested in contemporary and twentieth-century British politics and foreign policy.
