His publications’ seemingly diverse research areas of corporate law, securities regulations, insurance law, government procurement, compulsory land acquisitions, culture wars, law & religion is united by his research agenda of drawing on a combination of comparative perspectives and economics analysis (including public choice) to critically examine the unarticulated jurisprudential assumptions inherent in many legal discourses.
