Short description:
Associate Professor at University of Delaware. My research focuses on the dynamics between business, politics/institutions, and societies across the world. I am particularly interested in the role(s) of business in society, ranging from prosocial behavior in the form of CSR / responsible business to aggressive interest group advocacy. In recent years, I have become particularly interested in authoritarian populist threats to democracy: can businesspeople play a useful role in defending democracy and open societies against these threats? I believe they can.
