Tor Halvorsen is a senior researcher at the University of Bergen’s cross-disciplinary centre, University of Bergen Global (Ui BGlobal), where he is currently leading a research group on “The new political economy of globalisation”, which is focusing on the ways in which the global economy will need change in order to overcome the challenges to implementation of the UN goals for sustainable development. He also teaches on the relations between state formation and societal development in the University’s Department of Administration and Organization Theory. His most recent book is a volume co-edited with Hilde Ibsen and Vyvienne M“kumbuzi and entitled Knowledge for a Sustainable World.

Her other research interests are on migration, development and underdevelopment, and comparative political transitions. She has recently published a book on The State and the Advocate: Development Policy in Southeast Asia (Routledge, 2014), and a forthcoming book entitled Lost in Transition: Comparative Political Transitions in Southeast Asia and the Middle East will be published by Palgrave Mac Millan in 2016.
