Biographical details

Neil joined the School of Geosciences in July 2022, after ten years in the Department of Geography at the National University of Singapore, where he was Head of Department from 2012-18. Prior to that he spent twelve years in Geography at the University of Manchester.

Research interests

In the broadest terms, I am interested in the complex organizational forms that underpin economic globalization and their uneven geographical impacts. A central component of my work has been in collaboratively forging the Global Production Network (GPN) approach since the early 2000s. In critical conversation with cognate debates on global commodity/value chains and global supply chains, this interdisciplinary work seeks to understand GPNs as a particular transnational organizational form, and to explore how and why the configuration and dynamics of GPNs matter for regional development outcomes in the places that they interconnect. Recent work in this vein has sought to develop the original heuristic framework (GPN 1.0) into a more explanatory theory (GPN 2.0).

Empirically, I have sought to explore economic globalization and GPNs through the lens of service sector dynamics, often under-studied in relation to agro-food and manufacturing industries such as garments, electronics and autos. Early work on software, TV and film has been followed by extensive research into retailing, temporary staffing and logistics across the main macro-regions of the global economy. This research has shown both the commonalities and differences between the globalization dynamics in manufacturing as compared to business and consumer service industries, with services often being more influenced by regulatory and market dynamics.

These studies bridge to my second main specialism, namely labour geographies. Early work on multi-scalar network approaches to innovation has been followed by a body of work on labour organization and agency, transnational and local labour markets, and labour regimes in global production. My current work is continuing to move in this direction, and I see the intersections of global production, labour/work and environment as a critical nexus as we strive to achieve socially and environmentally sustainable production systems during a period of necessary energy transition.
