Personal profile
Research interests
I am a specialist in the law and policy of world trade, currently working on the practice of economic diplomacy as an undertheorized field of study in international law.
I examine the use of economic diplpomacy to pursue public policy objectives such as protecting the environment, supporting sustainable development, and improving public health (in the case of the latter, principally as joint-lead on an interdisciplinary three-year NIHR-funded project to examine the how governments can best present public health measures at the committees of the World Trade Organization).
As co-founder and Co-Director of the Trade & Public Policy (TaPP) Network, the largest multidisciplinary group of academic experts on UK trade policy, I work closely with policy practitioners to develop my research projects.
