Current Research

At present I'm writing a book provisionally entitled Gambling with the Globe: Existential Risk and the Long-Term Future. The goal is to show how we can give due weight to the distant future without being driven to poverty or paranoia. Some of the arguments in the book build on my 2019 Ethics paper ''.

''', appearing in The Review of International Studies in 2006, attacks John Mearsheimer's The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, arguing that defensive realism gives a better account of the long peace after 1815. I have also written about the and the , and their implications for collective security and democratic peace theory. I remain interested in the Concert of Europe and Russian foreign policy, and mean to come back to them in future work.

Future Research
