Research Interests
My research focus on regionalism, historical international relations, and borderlands of the liberal international order.
Underlying these research topics is my long-term interest in the complex relationship between individuality and collectivity. More specifically,
- How do individuals form a collective entity?
- What is the relationship between individual preferences and collective rationality?
- Does the collective entity make up each individual, or do individuals constitute the collectivie entity?
- Moreover, how did the (provisional and often normative) answers to the above questions give rise to different models of ecoomic production, public governace, and international relations across time and space?
Questions such as these have motivated my research on group-oriented behaviour, competition in international hierarchy, as well as the evolving ideas of the world order.
