Professor Morrison focuses his research efforts primarily on democratization and state formation, especially in the context of historical Western European cases. His work examines broader comparisons in transnational democracy, social movements, and political corruption. Current research projects include a book on the similarities and differences between British and French democratic trajectories and an article on the role of institutional pressure during episodes of democratization, with a focus on the Reform Act of 1867 in British history. He also investigates the role of parliaments in combating political corruption, assessing the historical challenges faced by these representative bodies in establishing independence within national institutional orders. His expertise extends to transnational democracy and the implications of historical contexts on contemporary political systems.
