Research Interests

Niall Duggan is a political scientist who is committed to theory-led fieldwork based on empirical study, particularly – but not exclusively – on foreign policy-making and international relations

The primary focus of Dr Duggan's research is the rise of emerging economies in international relations (IR) with a particular focus on East Asia and the BRIC nations. Dr Duggan is interested in the relationships among emerging states, especially in global and regional institutions as well as interregional relations such as Sino-Africa relations, Africa-EU Relations 

Dr Duggan's research looks at the nexus between domestic and international politics and investigates the way changes in policies and political ideologies or shifts in economy trends in one nation can have dramatic effects on their relations with other states. This has led Dr Duggan to research areas such as financial services regulation, food security, developmental aid, bureaucratic policies, and peacekeeping and maritime security.
