How can we institutionalise effective, resilient, and responsive international cooperation? Which designs work best in different domains, over the short term and the long term, and promote meaningful participation? How does the relationship of institutions to other institutions affect these and other outcomes?

In my research, I develop multilevel and dynamic theories, methods, and data to help us better understand the implications of institutional and policy choices in various complex settings such as the global governance of fisheries, freshwater, trade, and health.

At the Geneva Graduate Institute, I direct the Global Governance Centre, teach international relations, political science, and interdisciplinary courses, and am principal investigator of the PANARCHIC project (Power and Networks and the Rate of Change in Institutional Complexes).
