Research

 

I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at Temple University. I am also Program Director for the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and CooperationÕs Public Policy and Nuclear Threats Program.

 

I teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level on international relations theory, international security, international organizations and nuclear weapons policy and strategy.

 

My research encompasses a number of issues in applying Principal-Agent Theory to international cooperation on nuclear weapons, including measures of delegation, and threats; international preferences; the importance of biased informational agents; and the problems of international enforcement.

I will be on leave during the 2011-12 academic year, during which time I will be a Stanton Nuclear Security Junior Faculty Fellow at Harvard UniversityÕs Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
