Personal profile

Teaching Fellow, Harvard University, 2003-2006; Research Fellow, Program on Justice, Welfare and Economics, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University, 2006-2008; Lecturer at Bristol from 2008

Research

My research focuses on comparative and international political economy and on comparative politics (with a special emphasis on communist and post-communist politics and Central and East European politics). In my current work I explore whether the fall of communism has resulted in different  'varieties of capitalism', and I seek to explain both the causes and consequences of this institutional diversity. My research also contributes to general debates about institutional origins, change and reform. In other published work I have studied the politics of international trade and EMU in Central and Eastern Europe.

Teaching

My teaching interests include international and comparative political economy, comparative politics and research design.

  • 31559: States and Markets
  • 31383: Democracy, Dictatorship and Post-Communism
  • M3015: International Political Economy
  • M3025: Comparative Research Design
