About
I am currently a faculty member at the College of International Security Affairs at the National Defense University in Washington, DC.
I recently defended my dissertation, "Power and Restraint: Liberal International Theory and Rising Power Foreign Policy." It focuses on explaining why certain rising powers pursue aggressive, revisionist foreign policies while others peacefully integrate into the existing international order to become status quo powers. International relations theories provide convincing, empirically supported explanations for why rising powers tend to implement revisionist foreign policies. However, little scholarly attention has been devoted to studying the only case of a modern rising power that implemented a foreign policy of strategic restraint: the United States of America between 1898 and 1941. My dissertation fills this gap in the literature through a comparative, in-depth study of American foreign policy during its emergence as the predominant great power in the international system.
I have published essays on American foreign policy and American political development, as well as numerous conference papers on similar topics.
