This programme delves into the changing state-market relationship, emphasizing political development, foreign investment and international institutions' roles in global governance.

What I like most is the freedom I have to pursue my own interests – I wished to look at the economics and politics of global development from a gendered perspective. Being a student in London gives you so many opportunities, both academic and social. I regularly attend lectures at LSE and SOAS among others, giving me the opportunity to learn outside of Queen Mary’s key research areas too.
