Dr. Michael Allen’s has published his research in International Studies Quarterly, Foreign Policy Analysis, and Conflict Management and Peace Science. His research focuses on questions regarding the dynamics of power in how they foster behavior between states both in conflict and cooperation. Specifically, it touches on issues on why and how weak actors states resist the demands of the most powerful states in the international system, how military basing and alliance formation affects the behavior of weaker states, and why and when non-state actors adopt different types of strategies against states (such as guerrilla warfare or terrorism).
