Current Research

His current research embraces four projects:

  • 'North-South Relations'. This examines current definitions of, and relations between, 'North' and 'South' in the context of globalisation.
  • The Caribbean in the Global Politics of Unequal Development. This examines the strategic options confronting the Caribbean in the
    current global order.
  • The Historical Evolution of Theories of Development. This examines the changing meaning attributed to the concept of development from the era of classical social theory to the present.
  • The Group of 8 and Global Development. This examines the role played by the G8 process, and in particular the annual heads of government
    summit, in charting the direction of global development.
