Bryan Peeler's research focuses on the intersection of international relations and international law, particularly understanding how international law constrains state power. His work contrasts the notion of international law shaping behavior from the logical consequences emphasized by realists and neoliberal institutionalists. By building on Robert Keohane's distinction between specific and diffuse reciprocity, Peeler distinguishes types of reciprocity in legal terms. Legal reciprocity entails reciprocal commitments built into the language of international law, while strategic reciprocity functions as a policy tool irrespective of legal considerations. This nuanced understanding of reciprocity informs his appreciation of domestic debates regarding international obligations and their impacts.
