Andrew Davenport's research is in the field of International Theory. He is interested in elaborating the critical significance of International Theory as revealing the limits of the political and his work focuses on philosophical materialism, particularly in the thinking of Adorno, as a means both for developing the conceptual critique of the political form of 'the international' and for understanding the relationship between capitalism and global political space. To this end, his research engages with modern continental philosophy and social theory, especially Kant and German Idealism, Marxist theory and Critical Theory, in exploring problems of epistemology and metaphysics in relation to the problematic of the international.
