Leonard Seabrooke
Leonard Seabrooke is a University of Warwick professor in the Department Of Political and International Studies (PAIS) and the director of the university's Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation (CSGR).
Seabrooke's research primarily concerns the politics of access to credit, tax, and property within economies, as well as international financial governance. He works on the social sources of how states generate international financial capacity, American structural power in the international financial system, how 'everyday politics' has influence in the world economy, how international policy is created through common standards, and the connection between welfare system, housing and international finance. Seabrooke has also published articles in highly ranked international peer review journals in the field of International Political Economy, and serves as a co-editor on a number of book series and on the journal Review of International Political Economy.
Seabrooke is also the Director of Studies of the Warwick Commission on International Financial Reform, which brings together economists, political scientists, and lawyers from both the scholarly and policy worlds to discuss financial reform and re-regulation.
