About
I am currently working on three projects:
1. The development of Global Greenhouse Gas Tax Draft Treaty and Workshop with Prof. Heikki Patomaki and the Centre of Excellence for Global Governance Research at the University of Helsinki, Finland. This project examines the political, legal and economic questions surrounding the proposed tax and its likely success as a mitigation and adaptation strategy to global climate change generally.
2. Emancipatory Cosmopolitanism and the reconstruction of the project of emancipation in Critical Theory. This manuscript examines the idea of emancipation within the work of Kant, Hegel, Marx, the Frankfurt School and into Critical International Relations Theory (CIRT) through the work of Linklater, Cox and others. It argues that recognition theory may serve as a means to extend the emancipatory project of Critical Theory in world politics.
3. The problem of tyranny and tyrannicide. This manuscripts examines the philosophical, ethical, legal, historical and political sources of legitimation of the practice of tyrannicide in contemporary world politics.
I have had publications in the European Journal of International Relations, Review of International Studies, Constellations, International Relations, Alternatives, and The Journal of International Political Theory, amongst others.
With Laura Lima and Joao Nunes, I have edited the forthcoming book Critical Theory in International Relations and Security Studies: Interviews and Reflections (Routledge). I am also currently editing a three volume series with Praeger called Communism in the 21st Century. I am also co-author for a Special Issue of Globalisations called Dialectics in World Politics that will be published also as an edited volume through Routledge in 2014.
I am the co-founder and editor of the journal Global-Discourse.
My other research interests include international relations and political theory, environmental politics, political economy, human rights, and legal philosophy. I have particular research interests regarding the concepts of dialectics and utopianism and in Marxist and anarchist approaches to politics.
