Profile

I completed my BSC (Bath) and MA and PhD (Warwick) before joining Warwick in 2007 as an RCUK Research Fellow in the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation (CSGR). My research is concerned with the theory and practice of global ethics. I have published one book Cosmopolitanism and Global Financial Reform: A Pragmatic Approach to the Tobin Tax, Routledge 2010, and several articles in journals such as European Journal of International Relations, International Political Sociology, and International Studies Quarterly. Finally, I have edited a number of journal special issues on subjects including 'Legitimacy and Global Governance', 'Deliberation and Global Governance', 'Ethics in World Politics' and 'The Political Economy of the Sub-Prime Crisis'.
