Research Interest

Recent research has focused on two fields, that of the development of “fairness doctrines” with regard to international trade, and that concerned with ecology and sustainable development. With regard to the former, I delivered co-authored papers on the subject at the Global Business and Technology Conference in Moscow, Russia and at the Business Ethics Conference at Niagara University. With regard to the second, I delivered a paper at the Global Awareness Society International Conference in Seoul, Korea, and a second at the Global Business and Technology Conference in Taipei, Taiwan.
