Faculty Member, Department of Politics, History and International Relations
Lecturer in International Relations
About
I am a research-active scholar who has published in internationally-renowned book series and highly-ranked journals through my work on varieties of capitalism and critical theories of International Political Economy. My expertise encompasses a wide range of theoretical and empirical topics - principally, capitalism and its uneven development in an era of 'globalisation', theories of International Relations, state and society, and the evolution of European political economies (via comparative work at both the national and the EU level). My approach is influenced by Antonio Gramsci's writings on the sociology of knowledge plus those of other critical theorists.
I am currently researching the political economy of neoliberalism in Europe.
I have been the Chair of the Critical Political Economy Research Network of the European Sociological Association since 2009 - http://criticalpoliticaleconomy.net/ - and since 2010 have been on the Steering Committee for the Standing Group on International Relations of the European Consortium for Political Research. Moreover, I recently joined the editorial team for the Routledge/RIPE Series in Global Political Economy, which encompasses RIPE Series in Global Political Economy and RIPE Studies in Global Political Economy, and from 2012-14 I will be the Chair of the Book Prize panel of judges for the International Political Economy working group of the British International Studies Association.
