Make an impact

Our research is driven by the desire to create better, more rewarding jobs and careers; a more sustainable economy and a more equitable world.

From the impact of globalisation, Covid-19, and conflict to transformational technology – our research is always innovative, reflecting the challenges of today and tomorrow. ​

Study of States, Markets and People (STAMP) is a major inter-disciplinary initiative in the Royal Docks School of Business and Law whose primary focus is the study of global and European political economy and the forms of governance and regulation required to address socio-economic/financial issues and geo-political conflicts and crises.​

Having long studied the intensification of banking and financial crisis and the public policies of neo-liberalism and ordo liberalism, resulting in many workshops and publications, STAMP's new research projects are now building new research capacity and infrastructure on five main axes.
