Darkness by Design: The Hidden Power in Global Capital Markets

I joined Oxford University in 2004 and was Tutorial Fellow in Politics and Professor of International Political Economy in the Department of Politics and International Relations until July 2020. From 1995 until 2004 I taught at Columbia University in New York where I was Associate Professor of International Political Economy and a member of the Institute of War and Peace Studies. 

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Geneva and my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Before beginning my graduate studies, I worked in international banking in New York.

I have held fellowships at the Wissenschaftskolleg (Institute for Advanced Studies) in Berlin, Princeton University and the European University Institute in Florence. 

In 1995, I was awarded the Helen Dwight Reid Award of the American Political Science Association, in 2003 the JP Morgan International Prize in Finance Policy and Economics of the American Academy in Berlin, in 2006 a two-year British Academy Research Fellowship and in 2015 a British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship. I am co-editor (with Liesbeth Hooghe and Gary Marks) of a new book series with Oxford University Press titled Transformations in Governance. I am a member of the Editorial Boards of the Review of International Political Economy and the European Journal of Political Research and also serve on the Executive Board of Regulation & Governance.
