Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests centre on three key areas:
- the relative power and influence of business and labour on governments, especially with regard to social and public policy;
- the economic crisis and welfare states;
- corporate welfare (state assistance to corporations) and its relationship with social welfare within various welfare systems.
My current work includes a book on British Corporate Welfare and two further books on the impact of austerity politics on welfare states (with Zoe Irving).
