Since completing my PhD at the University of Limerick in 2005, I have been researching the nature of security provision in transitional and post-conflict situations. In particular I am interested in the usage of police power in the transmission of liberal political economy. I have worked with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the United Nations Development Programme and with Irish Aid on security reforms in the Balkans, Eastern Europe and Caucus region. I am a member of the editorial boards of Capital and Class and the University of Belgrade’s journal The Western Balkans Security Observer. Prior to joining SPIRE in September 2009, I have lectured at the University of Limerick, Dublin City University and at Lancaster University. I am a member of the Research Institute for Law Politics and Justice. My monograph, entitled Police Reform and Statebuilding: The Freedom of Security, will be published by Routledge in 2011.
