Over the years, Clarke's research has ranged from studies of diasporic and religious movements in the United States and West Africa to related transnational legal movements, to inquiries into the cultural politics of power and new international justice regimes connected to nongovernmental organizations and international criminal legal institutions. She is the author of Mapping Yoruba Networks: Power and Agency in the Making of Transnational Networks (Duke University Press, 2004), Globalization and Race: Transformations in the Cultural Politics of Blackness (Duke University Press, 2006), and Testimonies and Transformations: Reflections on the Uses of Ethnographic Knowledge (forthcoming). Her current project explores issues related to human rights movements and the cultural politics of international treaties, tribunals, courts, and the increasing roles of Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in new relations of governance. Her specialization is the cultural aspects of globalization, relationships between religion and law, and social theory and the micro processes of governance.
