He is currently working on chapters for the Handbook of Power (Sage Publications for the IPSA Research Committee on Political Power) and the RIPE Handbook on International Political Economy, as well on a book project provisionally entitled Multi-Nodal Politics: Political Dynamics of a Globalizing World which is intended to develop the application of pluralist and neopluralist approaches – especially the concept of “political process” and the role of agency – to the study of globalization.
