His research interests and special expertise lie mainly in the areas of political economy, in particular, globalisation and the transformation of state structures and law as well as changes in the global order in the post cold war era. His other main research relates to the political changing dynamics of regulatory institutions in advanced industrial and newly industrialising economies in East Asia. At the ARC of Murdoch University he has directed a research project on the problematic emergence of the rule of law and institutional change in East Asia. His current research is on the politics of post authoritarian politics in East Asia. He is presently engaged in a study of ‘civil society, social capital and political pluralism’ as a part of a larger key research project on Political Regimes in East and Southeast Asia: Problems and Prospects at the ARC, Murdoch University. This research examines challenges and tensions within the neo liberal market model and the emergence of new social contracts and strategies and forms of regulatory statecraft. His most recent publication is a volume entitled: Statecraft, Welfare and the Politics of Inclusion (Palgrave Macmillan 2006). This work examines the new politics of welfare which provides a logic and rationale for welfare governance that is distinct from the social democratic notions of social protection. He has also recently published Reconstituting the Global Liberal Order (Routledge 2005). In this work he explores the transformation of liberalism and the broader liberal constitutional order in the new post cold war world, and the aftermath of the events of September 11.
