My research focuses on four interconnected themes:

1. The rise of the private security and private military industries in the post-war era.
2. Corresponding issues of governance, regulation and legitimacy in the security and military sectors.
3. The conceptual and empirical connections between war and crime.
4. The changing nature of state-market relations.

These interests are multidisciplinary, lying at the intersection of criminology, politics, international relations and socio-legal studies.
