Projects:

‘Rising powers and revisionism: subordinate monopolization and major power conflict’

Based on my dissertation, I argue that a particularly dangerous pathway for rising powers is to seek to monopolize subordinates, since this leads into competition with other major powers, heightening the risk of major interstate war. Drafts have been presented at ISA, APSA, MPSA, and PSA.

‘The location of rising power disputes: social position and regional expansion’

This paper argues that the social position of rising powers has an influential effect upon the location of disputes rising powers enter into. In short, those rising from within the ranks of the great powers tend to have extra-regional disputes, whilst those rising from below the great powers concentrate in their home region.

Projects in development:

‘War, victory, and state formation’ (with Luis L. Schenoni)

This project examines how victory in interstate wars impacts state capacity.

‘The impact of UN peacekeeping norms on interstate conflict’

This project utilizes content analysis of UNSC and UNGA resolutions to understand the evolution of peacekeeping norms, and applies this to the success of peacekeeping missions.

‘Second rank powers and international order’

This project seeks to understand the place of states on the fringes of the major powers in international relations, and their impact on the international order. It seeks, therefore, to understand states that are rising and declining, as well as those that endure at a level just outside of the major powers.
