PROFILE:
I have a broad interest in globalization issues and trends, and how underlying political and economic functions control and shape the ever-changing globalized world.

I am particularly interested in the emerging market economies and how, through processes of globalization, these countries can improve their developmental outlook. I am becoming increasingly interested in how flows in the global economy can be managed in a manner that allows for constructive economic development in developing countries, and how this capital can be retained or reinvested in this host country.

My recent research has focused upon the use of human capital based economic development strategies, and the role of risk finance and innovation capacity in the economy of North Carolina.
