School of Politics and International Studies

Research Interests

My main research is on trends in global capitalist development, and especially the nature and role of the state. I am also working on the reconstruction of Marx's critique of political economy in the light of the collapse of Soviet-style communism, with a particular focus on labour.

PhD Supervision

As a result of my retirement, I am not available to supervise new doctoral students.
