Currently I am researching how ‘new institutional’ decentralised governance reforms in Cambodia interact with that country's neopatrimonial governance regimen, to produce effects which are variously good for marginal people and wider political economy/ human security. A book from this research (‘Development’s New Institutions’ will be out in 2009. I’m interested generally in relations between development modalities (neoliberal, new institutional and otherwise) and local outcomes, be they in governance, poverty, or human/ environmental security and conflict.  I’m also very interested in what happens in political economy, and in particular to neoliberalism: the ways it becomes institutionalized, and the effects of that on a range of social, political economic and environmental outcomes.
