He has recently completed a major research project, with Kenneth Dyson, on the negotiations leading to the agreement on EMU at Maastricht in 1991. This research was supported by the Economic and Social Science Research Council and it involved some 275 personal interviews with leading politicians, ministry officials, and central bankers across Europe. A book is to be published from this project by Oxford University Press in 1999.

He is a founder member of the editorial board of two journals, South European Society and Politics (Frank Cass, London) and Synthesis (London). He is co-editor, with K. Dyson, of a series of books published by Addison Wesley Longman under the title, Political Dynamics of the European Union.
