Professor Chandler is the author of a number of monographs, including: International Statebuilding: The Rise of Post-Liberal Governance (Routledge, 2010); Hollow Hegemony: Rethinking Global Politics, Power and Resistance (Pluto, 2009); Empire in Denial: The Politics of State-Building (Pluto, 2006); Constructing Global Civil Society: Morality and Power in International Relations (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2004, 2005); From Kosovo to Kabul (and Beyond): Human Rights and International Intervention (Pluto, 2002, 2006); and Bosnia: Faking Democracy after Dayton (Pluto, 1999, 2000).
His long-term research focus is on new forms of international intervention and regulation, particularly those projected in the therapeutic language of ethical foreign policy, the rule of law, human security, empowerment, democratization, state capacity-building, human rights, civil society development, anti-corruption and transparency, country 'ownership', post-conditionality, and 'pro-poor' development.
In the short-term, he is engaged in a variety of research projects including: work with Julian Reid on the Neoliberal Subject of Resilience, emphasising a more thorough critique of the neoliberal subject, drawing on the insights of Michel Foucault and others; work on a forthcoming co-edited book (with Susanna Campbell and Meera Sabaratnam) Liberal Peace? The Problems and Practices of Peacebuilding (to be published by Zed in 2011); and preparation (with Tim Sisk) of a Handbook on International Statebuilding (to be published by Routledge in 2012).
He has edited or co-edited a number of books, including: Critical Perspectives on Human Security: Rethinking Emancipation and Power in International Relations (with Nik Hynek) (Routledge, 2010); Statebuilding and Intervention: Policies, Practices and Paradigms (Routledge, 2009); Rethinking Ethical Foreign Policy: Pitfalls, Paradoxes and Possibilities (with Volker Heins) (Routledge, 2007); Peace without Politics?
