His research focuses on international organizations, international trade, foreign direct investment, international law, and dispute settlement, particularly within the World Trade Organization (WTO).

He employs political economy approaches and quantitative methods to study disputes in trade, investment, and territorial conflicts.

His earlier book, The Democratic Peace and Territorial Conflict in the Twentieth Century (2003), co-authored with Paul K. Huth, explores the dynamics of conflict escalation and resolution.
