My research interests are broadly in the field of post-Cold War US foreign policy, in particular the development of neoconservatism; intellectuals and US foreign policy; humanitarian interventionism; the Bush administration and the ‘Global War on Terror’; as well as the history of the CIA and the politics of intelligence. I have written articles and book chapters on many of these topics. My first book, Neoconservatism and the New American Century, was published by Palgrave MacMillan in 2010.
