Biography
Brian is a historian of twentieth-century international politics and US foreign relations. His research explores the changing regulatory frameworks of international security, and his current book project examines the relationship between international law and the American use of military force during the Vietnam War. It investigates both how law influenced American conduct of the Indochina conflict and how the application of force by the United States in Vietnam reshaped the legal architecture of war. It argues that interpretations and innovations of law developed during the war were crystallized into new, more diffuse parameters for the legitimate application of international violence in the years immediately after the war, and that those new parameters matter for how war is imagined and waged today. Prior to his doctoral studies, Brian prepared assessments of regional strategic and political affairs as an analyst in New Zealand's Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
