Welcome
I am currently Reader in International Political Economy in the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics. At the LSE I also serve as the Director of the MSc. in International Political Economy programme. Previously, I was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna (Institut für Höhere Studien), a Visiting Scholar in the Research Department of the International Monetary Fund, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Syracuse University, and a Jean Monnet Postdoctoral Fellow in the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute.
My research interests are in the international political economy of money and finance, specifically international organisations - especially the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank - financial globalisation, sovereign wealth funds, the political consequences of financial crises, economic norms and ideas, and emerging markets.
I have undertaken consultancy and advisory work for Oxford Analytica and for the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies. I also have taught on executive education courses for the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the Government of Spain's National Institute of Public Administration, the Royal College of Defence Studies, among others.
