Reasearch & Supervisory Interests


I do most of my research in the area of public policy, focusing in particular on North America and the European Union. My current research involves examining the processes associated with the internationalization of public policy. In this area, I am focusing principally on financial services, agricultural policy and biotechnology.

I also am associated with the Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition at McMaster University. In this area, I am interested in learning more about the phenomenon of globalization and what impact it has on individuals and communities. I have a particular interest in the effect of globalization on democratic political processes. To what extent does globalization impede such practices? Does globalization provide any new opportunities for democratic politics? In this same area, I have an additional interest in the impact of globalization on indigenous peoples in Canada and elsewhere.
