I am Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in International Political Economy & Politics of Global Development in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology at Newcastle University.
My research is concerned with the political economy of development in the global South. I investigate how states and social forces produce, manage and contest ‘development’ projects in the Middle East and North Africa. I am the editor of States of Discipline: Authoritarian Neoliberalism and the Contested Reproduction of Capitalist Order , and Authoritarian Neoliberalism: Philosophies, Practices, Contestations (with Ian Bruff ).
My research has been published in the European Journal of International Relations , New Political Economy , International Political Sociology , Review of International Studies , South European Society and Politics , Globalizations , and The South Atlantic Quarterly . My teaching focuses on the political economy of development, historical sociology of the modern Middle East and historical materialism.
