Summary: Dr Jolyon Ford is with the Global Economic Governance Programme at the University of Oxford, and an Associate Fellow at Chatham House. His research focuses on the regulation of investor and business activity in fragile and conflict-affected states, options for fostering responsible and conflict-sensitive business practices, and public policy on the private sector's role in meeting development goals. His blog is Private Sector - Public World. Until the end of 2013 he headed the sub-Saharan Africa practice for Oxford Analytica. On 24 March 2015 Dr Ford came to the War Studies Department to talk about some of the themes in his book ‘Regulating Business for Peace’, published in February by Cambridge University Press. Examining ways in which the UN peace architecture has engaged with the private sector, Dr Ford explored the nature of post-conflict transitional regulation and governance. The talk was hosted by the Conflict, Security and Development Research Group, and was chaired by Dr Christine Cheng.
