Biography

Ken Shadlen is a Professor of Development Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His research focuses on the comparative international political economy of development, particularly on how national policy responses vary in the changing landscape of global rules. In recent years, his work has centered on the political dynamics of global cross-national intellectual property regimes, specifically how they impact late development in various countries. A significant part of his research has been influenced by an ESRC-funded project exploring the implementation of pharmaceutical patents in developing nations. Shadlen’s work addresses critical themes such as political economy and health, as well as the trade agreements that shape government-business relations amid democratization. He has served as Managing Editor for the Journal of Development Studies from 2011 to 2020 and has published extensively in the fields of pharmaceuticals, trade, and international relations.
