About Me
I am an associate professor of political science, with a focus
in the field of international relations. I received a Ph.D. and M.Phil.
from Columbia University, and an M.A. and B.A. from the University of
Toronto.
My research is in international relations theory and
international organization, with particular attention to international
environmental politics, international monetary politics, and theories
of sovereignty. I am the author of International
Organization: Theories and Institutions (Palgrave, 2006) and Social Construction and the Logic of
Money: Financial Predominance and International Economic Leadership
(SUNY Press, 2003) and co-editor of Anarchy
and the Environment: The International Relations of Common Pool
Resources (SUNY Press, 1999). My research has been published in International Organization, International
Studies Quarterly, International Studies Review, Global Environmental
Politics, Global Governance, Millennium, and Environmental Politics, among other
journals, as well as in numerous edited volumes. I am currently
working on a book manuscript about the relationship between political
realism and social constructivism in international relations theory.
I regularly teaches courses in international organization,
international political economy, and international environmental
politics and both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as an
introduction to international relations at the undergraduate level, and
a survey of international relations theory at the graduate level.
I also direct the Political
Science graduate program at the University of Florida.
