My research is situated at the nexus of international relations and comparative politics, combining interests in international security, international organizations, and research methods. I approach questions of international politics from a problem-driven perspective, placing emphasis on theoretical integration across paradigms and levels of analysis. The links below provide information on completed and ongoing projects and areas of continuous research.
