Current Projects
My primary research focus at present is on characterising and explaining the foreign policy positions of the states that make up the Global South. Important commonalities across the Global South exist, as well as substantial heterogeneity. Coherent explanations for these differences and similarities are currently lacking as existing frameworks in the international relations discipline do not highlight them.
Connected to this strand of research, I am also interested some of the perennial questions within critical international political economy and historical sociology. What is the relationship between international inequality, class power, ideology and influence over international organisations?
I also remain involved in discussions around the concept of ‘multiplicity’, the simultaneous existence of several distinct societies, as a new way of thinking about the subject matter of international relations.
