I have written four books, as well as over 50 journal articles, 17 policy reports, and a range of other output. Below is my attempt to categorize all this into the two broad areas of my work: the functioning of globalization and global governance; and the practice of global health and social protection.
For anyone interested to navigate all this material, I flag my favourite articles with an emoji (🥰). I really like all of my books (but I am biased), so cannot pick favourites. The PDFs of everything are also below. The most up-to-date list of publications and links to citations is available on my Google Scholar profile. |
