CURRENT RESEARCH
My research interests stem from my background as a member of a Westminster law firm where my Principal was a former diplomat and served in the Polish embassy in Berlin before the Second World War. It was he who inspired my latest research in international dispute resolution between states culminating in my last book: Instruments of Peacemaking 1870-1914 (Hart, Oxford). What has also influenced my research interests is my work as a litigator in practice in the City and my work as an arbitrator dealing with a number of international cases.
