He has wide international experience teaching and working with senior officials and executives from China, USA, Latin America, Russia, India and elsewhere. He has wide experience in both quantitative and qualitative research and analysis and has acted as a consultant for the public, private, and voluntary sectors. His work centres on the changes in the relationship between state, market and citizen.
