Biography
I am Lecturer in International Relations in the Department of Politics at the University of Manchester.
My research relates to International/Global Political Economy, International Relations and Development. I explore capitalism and the global political economy, with particular focus on the power and politics of development policy and aid, the social inequalities it produces and its impacts on states and marginalized populations in the Middle East. I am interested in the evolving role of the (Global South) state in global capitalism, the increasing involvement of private actors in development, the experience of marginalized populations under capitalism and mounting global resistance to neoliberal policies.
