Wicked Problems, War and Warfare through History, Counterinsugency and Terrorism, International Drug Control

I take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the modern world, in both my research and my teaching. I am interested in the challenges of decision-making under uncertainty and the limits of scientific approaches to understanding social problems. My current research addresses efforts to develop and implement more rational approaches to drug control.
