Scientia Associate Professor of Philosophy and ARC Future Fellow, UNSW Sydney I am currently an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, working on economic sanctions after the Cold War. I am interested in understanding why the period of economic freedom also saw the intensification of economic coercion, particularly in the form of economic and financial sanctions. My research examines the relationship between liberal ideas of economic peace and the reality of economic warfare, and asks how sanctions came to be understood as a non-violent alternative to war. This current project builds on my most recent book The Morals of the Market: Human Rights and the Rise of Neoliberalism (Verso, 2019), which examined the role of neoliberal thinkers in promoting a distinctive version of human rights in the second half of the twentieth century. My broader research interests include human rights and humanitarianism, political philosophy and the relation between international law and politics.
