His work focuses on the legal and ethical frameworks necessary to regularize ethical business behavior with particular attention to how businesses can be constructed as communal "mediating institutions" that match neurobiological human capabilities with communal sizes necessary for enhancing ethical behavior, how a teleological goal of sustainable peace is a realistic contribution for businesses and an orienting mission that requires responsible business behavior, and finally, how commercialization of technology and science raises new sets of challenges for ethical business behavior enhancing even further the need for businesses to be mediating institutions with an ultimate aim of contributing for sustainable global security.
