Greek-Roman political philosophy and literature.

Early modern political thought, esp. the theme of rise of modern state and civil society, ranging from Renaissance to eighteenth-century.

Contemporary political analysis, such as Max Weber, Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss and Cambridge School.

My postgraduate research concentrates on David Hume’s theory of commercial states in international background.
