His research agenda focuses on the role of international institutions and international law in regional and global governance, with specific projects examining the delegation of powers to the supranational organizations in the European Union, governance of the transatlantic relationship, the global regulation of genetically modified foods, and the 'mainstreaming' of gender issues in international organizations. Professor Pollack is the author of The Engines of European Integration: Delegation, Agency and Agenda Setting in the EU (2003) and co-author, with Gregory C. Shaffer, of When Cooperation Fails: The Law and Politics of Genetically Modified Foods (2009). He is also co-editor of seven books, as well as several dozen articles and book chapters.

'Interdisciplinary Perspectives on International Law and International Relations is an impressive volume that brings together the leading writers in the fields of international law and international relations to celebrate this development, while also critically assessing the conceptual and empirical contributions of IL/IR to the understanding of international law … Professors Jeffrey Dunoff and Mark Pollack's anthology proves to be a tremendously valuable contribution to the study of international relations - one that traces the trajectory of IL/IR as a discipline over the past century, provides a comprehensive depiction and analysis of the field as it exists today through the varied analyses of the volume's authors, and proposes a way forward for the continued development of cross-disciplinary IL/IR scholarship.'
