My expertise sits across global governance, international political economy, and international development.
My research examines various issues across international political economy, global governance, and global development.
As concerns global development, I am specifically concerned with ongoing shifts in the policy field of development cooperation, including: the rise of new state and private actors; the privatisation (and financialisation) of a hitherto public policy; transformations in state form and function, and; shifts in the nature of development finance.
My second strand of research examines global governance: the matrix of institutions, norms, ideas, and practices beyond the level of the nation-state. I am particularly interested in the rise and normalisation of 'mulistakeholderism' as an ostensibly novel and more inclusive governance modality across various issue areas in global governance. Alongside this, I am conducting research into the changing economic orthodoxy of major global economic governance institutions in response to the rise of the so-called 'New State Capitalism' observed across the Global North and Global South. I am also conducting research into UN efforts to instigate a Treaty to End Plastic Pollution, and the role of multistakeholderism in these processes, alongside corporate strategies and power.
I hold a BA in International Relations (First), an MSc in Global Politics (Distinction), and a PGDip in Research Methods all from the University of Durham. My PhD entitled 'Global Development Governance in the Interregnum: Legitimacy and the Global Partnership for Effective Develoment Cooperation' was conducted under the supervision of Professor David Held and Professor Marcus Power, also at the University of Durham. My thesis was awarded the Global Policy Institute's Oustanding Thesis Prize in April 2021. I subsequently undertook post-doctoral study at the Margaret Anstee Centre at the University of Cambridge.
