Democracies in the War of Ideas, draws on extensive research at the Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan Presidential Libraries, as well as The National Archives in London, to explore why democracies use propaganda in peacetime despite liberal norms against it. They also research how ideology shapes power politics, challenges to the liberal international order, and the transnational and transhistorical far-right.
