Profile

Matthew currently works as a Lecturer in International Relations at the Institute of International Relations (IIR) which is based at the University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago. He teaches courses on International History and Politics, the Political Economy of Small States, US-Caribbean relations, and IR Theory. Before taking up this post he also taught here at Sheffield, from where he earned his PhD. Matthew is also the managing editor of the Caribbean Journal of International Relations, published bi-annually by the IIR.

Matthew’s current research has five principal strands: theorising ‘development’ in a globalising world; the political economy of small states; the political economy of the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean; global trade politics, and the global politics of democratisation. He is currently working on two books (detailed below), a project, with Professor Tony Payne, which seeks to map emerging patterns of climate change governance in the Caribbean, and another, with Dr Valbona Muzaka (Southampton) which is looking at the changing nature of international trade multilateralism.
