Philip’s recent publications explore themes such as covert research ethics, hybrid governance, and the post-imperial politics of security. His work emphasizes dialogical approaches, decolonial horizons, and the interplay between informal practices and formal structures in unstable regions.
He actively engages with critical peace research, community self-organization, and the legacy of social engineering in Kyrgyzstan and Bulgaria. His methodology combines ethnographic fieldwork with theoretical critiques of liberal and post-liberal frameworks.
