His main theoretical works focus on economic sociology, where he has created a "political-cultural" approach to 'markets in corporate control',[2] 'the architecture of markets',[3] and 'markets as politics'.[4] He has used these ideas to study the European Union's attempt to create a single market through cooperative political means.[5] In 2012, he published a book along with Doug McAdam titled A Theory of Fields that proposes a cohesive view of field theory as an approach to studying many of the key features of modern life, including politics, the economy, and social movements.[6]
