Born and raised in London, I moved to Berkeley in January 2000, having previously worked in India and the UK. At Berkeley, I am Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for British Studies. I hold concurrent appointments as Professor in Political Economy, King's College, London, and Professor of Governance, United Nations University (MERIT). Policy professionals can find me at UNESCO’s Inclusive Policy Lab and WHO’s Health Systems Governance Collaborative. I have consulted for governmental organizations in Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as the United Nations and its agencies. Currently I serve as the general editor of The Oxford History of Political Thought, and I have served as editor of Journal of the Philosophy of History and associate editor of Journal of Moral Philosophy. Since 2015 I have reduced my academic flying.
