Thematic Interests

I am interested in the costs of war: We measure these costs in a variety of ways: human lives, institutional erosion, political capital, and materiel among others. Yet we do not understand how these factors interact and influence one another in a dynamic process. My research probes these connections to understand how power aggregates and disintegrates throughout societies.

Current Research

I am interested in interstate military coups and interstate conflict. My research explores the relationship between the security dilemma and the guardianship dilemma.
