Dr Lloyd Cox
Dr Cox's principal research areas are globalization, nationalism, Australian and comparative politics, and political theory.
Having completed a PhD that examined the relationship between accelerating globalization and intensified ethno-national conflict, he has since published articles on nationalism, and political-economic restructuring in Australia and New Zealand, about which he is currently writing a book (Altered States: New State Experiments in Australia and New Zealand, 1983-2006).
He is also working on an ARC project that compares economic and political developments in Australia and New Zealand since the late nineteenth century.
His research interests are now turning to questions about Empire and US foreign policy, which are canvassed in the Masters course that he teaches on the United States in the International system. Dr Cox is interested in supervising post-graduate students working on aspects of globalization, nationalism, Australian and New Zealand politics, US foreign relations, and political theory (especially around socialist thought, and citizenship).
