I completed my PhD at the Department of International Relations in 2024 under the supervision of Professor Emeritus Justin Rosenberg, Professor Benjamin Selwyn and Dr. Julian Germann. My thesis offers a novel critique of comparative advantage theory and mobilises the theory of uneven and combined development to explore how international trade contributed to the economic divergence of Latin America in the nineteenth century.Ìý
