Welcome
I am currently a Reader in International Political Economy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Since 2001 I have been an Academic Director of the TRIUM Global Executive MBA Programme, an alliance between the LSE, NYU Stern School of Business, and the HEC School of Management (Paris), which was ranked #2 in the world in 2009 by the Financial Times. I am also a Research Associate in the Department of Management at the LSE and I am on the Council of Chatham House, a leading British think-tank of international affairs.
Until 1997 I was a Fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford, and University Lecturer in International Relations, where I taught international relations and political economy. I have been a visiting professor at the University of Melbourne, The Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies (Singapore), University of British Columbia, International University of Japan, and the Pacific Council on International Policy (University of Southern California, Los Angeles). I have also been the Director of the MSc International Political Economy programme at the LSE.
