Books:

My first book State Terrorism and Neoliberalism: The North in the South was published by Routledge in 2009. ISBN: 978-0-415-46240-2. The book explores the complicity of democratic states from the Global North in state terrorism in the Global South. It evaluates the relationship between the use of state terrorism by Northern liberal democracies and efforts by those states to further incorporate the South into the global political economy and to entrench neoliberalism.
