I am Professor of Politics in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of St Hugh’s College. I am also the Director of the Latin American Centre.
My general research and teaching interests include comparative politics and comparative political economy. I am currently working on a number of projects. These include a project on taxation and tax morale in Latin America and a project on the political effect of migrant remittances.
I am one of the editors of the Journal of Latin American Studies. My research has appeared in journals such as the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science and Comparative Political Studies, among others.
