New project researcher in Trade and DevelopmentJakob Vestergaard, PhDJakob Vestergaard has a M.Sc. in Economics from Copenhagen University and a PhD in Political Economy from Copenhagen Business School. After acquiring his PhD, he was a post doc researcher at London School of Economics and Political Science, Centre for Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR), and then Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business School, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy. Jakob Vestergaard’s overall area of research is international politics and the global economy, with a particular focus on economic crises and how they are dealt with politically. He is currently completing a project on international financial regulation, with particular reference to the financial crisis in South East Asia, inspired by the work of Michel Foucault and the ‘governmentality’-literature. A monograph based on this research will be published later this year by Routledge, under the title, Discipline in the global economy. International finance and the end of liberalism. The next major research project he expects to be involved in is a joint project with other researchers in the Trade and development IO, on the global food crisis. |
