Some of his research interests include:
- Japan's role in the restructuring of the East Asian political economy ... spatial scales of order at the regional, subregional and microregional levels ... the role of both state and nonstate actors in the political, economic and security dimensions of regional relations and how new orders and sites of governance emerge in the process of global and regional transformations.
- Japanese defence and security policy ...the realist approach dominant in the field contrasts with domestic constraints imposed on the policy-making process, examining issues of structure, agency and particularly norms in determining security policy.
- Role of the Japanese state in mediating risk ... collaborative work analysing the way the state mediates both internal and external risks and how this impacts on the security of the citizen.[2]
