My research interests revolve around various aspects of Chinese moral and political philosophy, including issues that arise when one thinks about the process of comparing Chinese ideas and traditions with the ideas and traditions of other cultures. I focus primarily on post-classical Chinese thought, up to and including the contemporary period. I have written on the development of Chinese human rights discourse, its various interactions with non-Chinese discourses, and on ways in which we in the West should relate to these Chinese ideas. My current research looks at relations between Confucian ideas and contemporary philosophical concerns in a different area: drawing on work I have done on the idea of "sagehood," I am exploring whether the neo-Confucian philosophical and religious tradition (roughly 1000 C.E. - present) has resources that can contribute constructively to a contemporary, globally-informed philosophy of moral psychology and moral education.

His recent book Wealth, Health, and Democracy in East Asia and Latin America (Cambridge, 2010) explores why some countries do better than others at raising life expectancy and reducing infant mortality.
