Research Interests
Chad's research falls within the fields of International Relations and International Political Economy, with particular emphases on transatlantic relations, international regulatory cooperation, and the European Union in international politics. He is particularly interested in exploring both the international and domestic sources of International Relations and the causal interaction of material, institutional and ideational factors. Such issues appear prominently in his new conceptualisation and research agenda on Market Power Europe. In addition, his book investigates the role of domestic politics in International Relations, specifically the interaction between the EU and the United States in the regulation of transatlantic corporate mergers. In other publications, he explores similar issues and questions with the tools of comparative politics and public policy. His research covers a number of policy areas, including regulation, competition, industrial, trade and environmental policy.
