Previously I held research and teaching appointments at the Institute for International Relations (Zagreb), the Centre for the Study of Nationalism, CEU (Prague) - where I worked with late Ernest Gellner -, and at the University of Galway.

My main research interests include the study of war and organised violence, nation-states, empires and nationalisms, ideology, sociological theory and the comparative historical sociology.
