My research is on political economy and economic history, and focuses on conflict, the military and institutional change. I have worked on the diffusion of violence, English political development, the causes of coups d'etat, the determinants of military interventions in politics, and the impact of riots on democratic change. I currently lead the Political Economy of Peace and Security research cluster in the department.
