Kant's Perpetual Peace

In his 1983 essay Kant, Liberal Legacies and Foreign Affairs,[3] Doyle builds on Immanuel Kant's views on various issues; especially noted are his views on liberal internationalism. Doyle discusses the two legacies of modern liberalism: the pacification of foreign relations among liberal states (see below) and international imprudence.

In 2001, Doyle was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and, in 2009, to the American Philosophical Society.

Model International Mobility Convention

As one of the co-directors of the Columbia Global Policy Initiative's project on International Migration,[6] Doyle helped develop the Model International Mobility Convention.[7]

The Model International Mobility Convention fills a gap in international law by covering the multiple forms of international mobility, ranging from visitors through labor migrants to forced migrants and refugees. It proposes a comprehensive framework for international mobility with the goal of establishing a cumulative set of rights afforded to internationally mobile people (and the corresponding rights and responsibilities of states).[8]
