Wise's research specializes in public law, public organization design, intergovernmental relations, and democratization, particularly in Ukraine, where he directed the USAID-funded Parliamentary Development Project for 19 years. He authored two books, notably "The Courts and the President: Judicial Review of Presidential Directives" (Cambridge University Press, 2024), and over 68 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. Key publications include "Organizing for homeland security after Katrina: Is adaptive management what's missing?" (Public Administration Review, 2006), "Constitutional courts and legislative-executive relations: The case of Ukraine" (Political Science Quarterly, 2004), and "Breaking up is hard to do: The dissolution of judicial supervision of public services" (Public Administration Review, 2003). Wise served as managing editor of the Public Administration Review and is a recognized global expert, presenting on public management and public organizations.
