Professor Diamond's research centers on the impact of globalization, new technology and financial innovation on social and political institutions. Currently, at the macro level he is interested in the interplay between authoritarianism, democracy and globalization while on the micro level he is interested in the role of hostages in the development of credible financial markets.

 

While in private practice, Professor Diamond represented investment banks, private equity firms, start-up companies and public companies, predominantly in the high technology sector. Professor Diamond serves on the board of directors of a small publicly traded technology company located in Silicon Valley. He also advises labor unions and institutional investors on corporate finance and governance.

 

Professor Diamond was part of the legal team headed by Professor Harold Koh at Yale Law School that represented the so-called Haitian "boat people" who were quarantined by the U.S. government at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay. While in private practice he served as outside counsel to the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and survivors of the Golden Venture, a ship carrying political refugees from mainland China that ran aground in New York. A three-year legal and political campaign led to the survivors' release from detention in INS jails.
