Indulging Kleptocracy
In recent decades, there has been an upsurge of western professionals providing financial and legal services to kleptocrats Russia and Eurasia. The United Kingdom has provided more such services than any other nation, and the effect has been to undermine democracy and good governance in both the UK and in the countries these elites come from.

The technocratic tradition of international thought unfolded in four phases, which were closely related to domestic processes of modernization and rationalization. The pioneering phase lasted from the Congress of Vienna to the First World War. In these yea...
The Rise of International Parliaments
This book describes and explains the development of international parliamentary institutions and asks why international organizations establish parliamentary institutions without, however, granting them relevant decision-making powers.
Resistance in International Relations: Offshore Financial Centers and the New Tax and Transparency Regime
Scholars in international relations often times are interested in explaining state adherence to international rules and regulations.
