2. Empires Of The Weak
The Real Story of European Expansion and the Creation of the New World Order
A revisionist account of early modern global power, arguing that Europeans were comparatively weak overseas before the nineteenth century and often operated under the authority of stronger Asian, African, and Middle Eastern states. Through case studies from the Indian Ocean to the Americas, it shows that European gains rested on local alliances, commercial privileges, and the devastating impact of disease rather than decisive military superiority, with large-scale territorial conquest arriving only later alongside industrialization. By challenging the “military revolution” narrative, it presents a more multipolar view of early modern international order.

3. The Despot's Guide To Wealth Management
On the International Campaign against Grand Corruption
An analysis of how kleptocrats move, hide, and enjoy illicit fortunes through mainstream financial centers, this work probes the roles of banks, lawyers, and corporate service providers and evaluates the impact of global standards like anti–money laundering rules and beneficial ownership disclosure. Using case studies and empirical evidence, it challenges assumptions about offshore tax havens by showing that onshore jurisdictions often serve as key enablers. It assesses why international efforts against grand corruption deliver mixed results and offers pragmatic reforms to improve transparency, curb gatekeeper complicity, and strengthen asset recovery.
