Research Areas

My main research area is in critical security studies with an emphasis on the political economy of post-conflict peacebuilding. I also work on peacekeeping and humanitarianism, the UN and international political economy. My specific geographical area of interest is the Balkans where I have conducted field research since 1997. I maintain an interest in maritime issues, including boat people and humanitarianism at sea.

I edited the five a year journal International Peacekeeping and the Cass Peacekeeping book series (Routledge). I am a member of an EU COST Committee, the Advisory Board of the UN Association-UK, and a former member of the British International Studies Association executive, a Norwegian Research Council panel and International Peace Academy (New York) programmes. I was principal investigator of an ESRC-funded research project on the transformation of war economies (graded outstanding in 2007).

I have been researching the political economy of transition in the former Yugoslav countries with a particular focus on labour markets, labour rights, remittances and the informal economies. I am preparing a book for Manchester University Press.
