Research
His book, Accountability and Democracy: The Pitfalls and Promise of Popular Control (Oxford University Press, 2011), explores different historical and theoretical approaches to the question of democratic accountability as they might pertain to current global governance arrangements.
He has begun a new research project related to the spread of solidarity economy practices worldwide. These practices and the transnational networks that surround them aim to forge alternative economies around principles of social solidarity, cooperation, and community-based development. He studies their potential and limitations as alternatives to mainstream capitalism and as reflecting counter-hegemonic forms of globalization.
