His website notes that his "main current research focus is on preventing military abuses of human rights. I am continuing my research on the occupation of Iraq and its legacy. I have also carried out research on the relationship between International Relations academia and elite power, including an assessment of why the world politics scholarship of Noam Chomsky receives so little attention in academia; on the UN economic sanctions on Iraq 1990-2003; and on activist world politics scholarship."
