I'm happy to consider proposals that fall in my area of expertise - political economy of Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore | politics of financial development | international political economy of Islamic economies - for 2026 entry (or later). For more information about studying for a PhD in PAIS, please see: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/prospectivestudents/postgraduate/researchcourses.

Please take into account that I'm based in a Department of Politics and International Studies and therefore can only consider proposals that engage relevant analytical frameworks.
