Professor Duina's research and teaching interests include economic sociology, globalization, the nation state, the cultural underpinnings of trade, the European Union, South America's Mercosur, and NAFTA.

His recent publications include articles on the nature of law in the European Union, Mercosur and NAFTA (2006, 2004), national parliaments and legal authority in the European Union and Mercosur (2007, 2005, 2003), culture in the European Union (2002), the similarities between European Union and Mercosur law (2001), the drivers of European integration (2000), the relationship between the nation state and the European Union (1999), and the question of social contexts and legal implementation in the European Union (1997).

His first book, Harmonizing Europe, focused on the problem of legal implementation in the European Union. His second book, The Social Construction of Free Trade, compares law and social change in the European Union, Mercosur, and NAFTA.

Professor Duina is also Visiting Professor at the International Center for Business and Politics at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark.
