A central current of my research examines how private power shapes public decisions from within the machinery of public and private governance. The four themes below trace its different forms across international finance, taxation, corporate influence, and digital technologies.
Sovereign Debt, Development & Human Rights
How debt crises are managed, who manages them, and what that costs the people living through them.
Digital Power, Data & Algorithms
How digital platforms, data infrastructures, and algorithmic systems redistribute power among companies, governments, and international institutions.
Tax, Illicit Financial Flows & Financial Secrecy
Where money hides, who builds the hiding places, and who is paid to make them appear legitimate.
Corporate Power & Global Governance
How private firms shape public outcomes from within the machinery of the state and global governance.
