My PhD dissertation as well as my first monograph, Constructing Regional Community and Order in Europe and Southeast Asia, engaged in a comparison of European and Southeast Asian regions in terms of how the leading organizations, EU and ASEAN, constructed relations of Self and Other and thereby ordered relations of amity and enmity in their respective regions. I have pursued the Europe/Southeast Asia comparison also in my contribution to the 2008 Moral Limit and Possibility in World Politics volume as well as in a recent article in Turkish published in Uluslararasi Iliskiler in 2015. Most recently, for the past three years I have been conducting research on how the EU, ASEAN, and MERCOSUR institutionally design their external relations and thereby affect patterns of conflict and cooperation in their broader regions. A most recent version of this research has been presented at the International Studies Association meeting in 2016.
