Research information:

My research is in international relations and international political economy. I study international finance with a particular interest in economic crises, the politics of inflation and central banking, and the power of economic ideas. I often try to understand present debates and issues through historical analysis—and am currently studying the early days of neoliberalism in the Reagan and Thatcher governments, which in many ways is the crucible for the present moment.

 

I am also drawn to trying to make sense of things that are not quite what they seem in politics today—for example looking at the central role of ignorance and failure in policymaking today.

 

My current research is motivated by a desire to understand the difficulties of our present moment by tracing the links between democracy, politics and the economy.

Research information:

I currently research the range of positions that investors take to respond to climate. These include incorporating ESG in their investment policies, engaging with companies, or divesting from fossil fuels entirely. I am currently involved on a large project about the fossil fuel divestment movement, comprised of students, faculty, and other activists worldwide who promote the exit from carbon intensive industries, in large institutional investors like pension funds, universities, and governments. I examine the range of responses to this movement, from doing nothing, to adopting a net-zero approach, all the way to committing to divest from energy companies.

Research information:

Sanni Yaya is an Associate Professor of Economics and Global Health and the Director of the School of International Development and Global Studies. Dr Yaya and his research team focus their work on the following topics: improving access and use of health services in low-and middle-income countries; health systems reform; sociology of health; global health financing; effects of globalization on health; economic evaluation of health interventions; and the interaction between economic development and health care. Building upon the existing literature, his research relies upon long term field observations and primary data collection experiences. Findings from his work can be integrated into future strategy development and large-scale implementation efforts undertaken by different organizations and the wider global health community to improve access to care in less developed countries (LDCs).
