I investigate why and how authority gets dispersed across multiple levels of authority. I have a secondary interest in ethnic conflict, nationalism, and federalism. I teach undergraduate courses in Political Science, and in the Curriculum for International Studies. These include a seminar on European Integration, and lecture courses in West European Politics, and in Global Issues. My graduate courses include a seminar in Comparative Politics, and a thesis seminar in the Transatlantic Masters Program administered by the Center for European Studies.
Most courses have a European component.
