Overview
I am a full-time PhD student in the School of Law and Politics. My research focusses on British development policy and the creation of DfID during the early years of the Blair administration. I use a variety of primary sources - including archival and original interview material - to analyse the effect that the creation of DfID had within the British core executive, and on British foreign policy.
