Research

Richard’s research interests are in the field of political economy and sit at the interstices of the disciplines of international relations, international business and international sport. Specifically:

  1. the institutions of global economic governance, most notably the OECD and its role in constructing the ideas, norms and rules governing contemporary policy areas
  2. sports mega-events, diplomacy and soft power
  3. doing business in a de-globalising world
  4. industrial strategy and innovation
