He is the editor of the Oxford Guide to Treaties (OUP, forthcoming 2011) and he also co-edited National Treaty Law & Practice (ASIL & Martinus Nijhoff, 2005), which examined how nineteen countries incorporate treaty rules into their national laws. His scholarship has appeared in various books and journals, including the Texas Law Review, the Southern California Law Review, the Virginia Journal of International Law, and the Berkeley Journal of International Law.
