His other interests include mass-elite relations in democracies, the patriotism-cosmopolitanism debate and the history of international political thought. His research articles have appeared in Global Society, International Interactions, International Studies Quarterly and Polity and he has also published over a dozen book chapters and shorter articles. He is co-editor (with Richard Sobel and Bethany Barratt) of Public Opinion and International Intervention: Lessons from the Iraq War (Potomac 2012). In addition to his academic work, he has consulted on projects for GSSJ-relevant organizations ranging from the Department of Homeland Security to Oxfam America.
