My research is focussed on realist international relations theory, the nature and
role of systemic anarchy within it, and the possibilities for moving beyond the
assumption of anarchy in assessing the international political system. 

In addition to international relations theory, I also maintain research interests in
international security, conflict studies, globalisation and post-Cold War international
politics. 

I am currently teaching international politics at CEFAM (Centre d'Etudes
Franco-Américain de Management) in Lyon, France.
