Jon has a diversity of different research areas that he engages with, starting with his main focus on all aspects of the political economy of development. He has pursued research in tandem with working for government and non-government agencies in the UK and in Latin America, as well as through a variety of different consultancies in the private and public sector. Whereas his main area of interest currently is the broad topic of corruption, he has also become involved in research and consultancy on themes as diverse as connectivity between global cities, corporate social responsibility and alternative energy provision in poor rural communities. A further theme to his research interests has been the household in countries of the global south; leading on from his PhD on microfinance in Nicaragua he has recently published critical work on the household, as well as the broader theme of cities and gender.
