Cemal Burak Tansel
Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy & Politics of Global Development
Newcastle University
I am Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in International Political Economy & Politics of Global Development in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology at Newcastle University.
My research is concerned with the political economy of development in the global South. I investigate how states and social forces produce, manage and contest ‘development’ projects in the Middle East and North Africa. I am the editor of States of Discipline: Authoritarian Neoliberalism and the Contested Reproduction of Capitalist Order, and Authoritarian Neoliberalism: Philosophies, Practices, Contestations (with Ian Bruff).
My research has been published in the European Journal of International Relations, New Political Economy, International Political Sociology, Review of International Studies, South European Society and Politics, Globalizations, and The South Atlantic Quarterly. My teaching focuses on the political economy of development, historical sociology of the modern Middle East and historical materialism.
I am the President of the European International Studies Association and have been an elected member of its Governing Board since 2019.
