Areas of expertise I am an expert on Vietnam, its politics and development. My research focuses on the changing nature of the state in that country during the reform era with a special interest in areas such as business, international aid, local politics, and corruption.

Using Vietnam as a case study, my research also seeks to develop insights of broader theoretical relevance to areas such as state theory, the politics of international development, and world politics.
Media experience Fair amount of print journalism (interviews and op ed pieces), radio and TV work over the years.
