Research
Dr Scott’s research focuses on global governance, with a particular focus within that on the world trade system. He has worked on a number of aspects of the governance of trade, principally exploring the links between trade and development. This has included exploring the participation and role of developing countries in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and World Trade Organisation (WTO), and the extent to which the WTO’s negotiations deliver the promises made concerning development. Most recently Dr Scott has been working on examining the range of institutions that provide expert knowledge in global trade and the extent to which they provide resistance to dominant trade narratives and open up the possibility of more development-oriented trade governance. This work has been funded by research grants from the British Academy and the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
