My research and scholarly activities center on the complex relationship between international trade and economic development. In particular, I was always interested in how developing countries position themselves within the shifting realities of international economic relations. My first book took a macro approach and scrutinized the WTO with its most prominent trade agreements in the context of economic development. The second book took a micro-level approach. It explored the human-centered approach to development in view of the fact that individual agency is influenced by a number of factors embedded in the political, social, cultural, and economic norms, domestic institutions, and existing power structures of international economy. In 2022 I published, with Rutledge, UK, my third book: Corporate Governance and Economic Development: Identifying Critical Institutional Reforms. The book focuses on how institutional reforms, legislative changes and codified measures have influenced performance at the firm and country level. Drawing on detailed cases from the UK, USA, China, India, Poland, Brazil, Russia and South Africa, this book takes an international and comparative approach to understanding the relationship between regulatory frameworks and economic development. Currently, I am working of the next edition of her second book: International Development: Socio-Economic Theories, Legacies, and Strategies. The request for this second edition came from the publisher given the book’s success after it was published in 2018. I am also preparing a new book proposal that deals with changing corporate regulations and governmental strategies concerning entertainment and gaming industries in Canada and the US.
