Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies international relations theory, focusing on how the balance of power among nations rises, shifts, and shapes global stability. Their work examines topics like great-power competition, neorealism (a theory explaining state behavior through international power structures), nationalism, and U.S. foreign policy, including analyses of the Trump administration's approach to world affairs. Much of the recent output is forthcoming book material on the long-term historical cycles of great-power rise and decline.
