I’m a Professor Emeritus and currently a Senior Research Fellow in International Relations at the University of Oxford.

My research interests cover, broadly, the international relations of the Asia-Pacific, and I have written books on the Korean War, on China-US relations, and on China and the United Nations. Underlying this is the idea of transformation, as states within world and regional orders grow and diminish in power, and decline and rise in influence.
