My research looks at the dynamics of armed conflict, especially on interactions between armed non-state groups and transnational actors. More recently, I have begun to focus on the politics of humanitarian assistance, looking at the obstruction of independent humanitarian actors by democratic states during the so-called European Migration Crisis.
