  • The future of the ANZUS alliance
  • Australian political history

I am currently preparing a research programme on the articulation of the growing market power which Australia’s uranium reserves is delivering for use as a mechanism to further strengthen international measures to counter the global spread of nuclear weapons technologies. This is the subject of a current ARC Discovery Grant  application under consideration.

I am currently preparing a manuscript for publication as a text suitable for students of International Relations at the introductory level, cast with relevance for students studying in Australia.
