Dr. Naoise McDonagh's research focuses on how geopolitical tensions are driving transformations within the international political economy, with a particular focus on economic coercion, sanctions and security-driven investment screening. He has researched and worked in Universities in Europe, New Zealand and Australia (current). Also of special concern is the re-emergence of state-led capitalism and the growing role of state-owned enterprises in strategic trade. Naoise welcomes collaboration on these research interests.
