Research Interests

Chad’s research generally falls within the fields of International Relations and International Political Economy, with particular emphases on transatlantic relations, international regulatory cooperation, and the role of the European Union in international politics. He is particularly interested in exploring both the international and domestic causes of state action. For example, 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 literatures of comparative politics and public policy. His research covers a number of policy areas, including regulation, competition, industrial, trade and environmental policy.
