Irakli Barbakadze

My name is Irakli Barbakadze. I am a Lecturer (Teaching) in Economics and Business at UCL SSEES. I am also a research associate at the Department of Political Economy at King's College London and at the Centre for Business Research (CBR) at the University of Cambridge. 

I obtained a PhD in Management from Henley Business School, University of Reading. My research interest stands at the intersection of corporate strategy and political economy. I am interested in how firms engage in political activities (such as political connections, lobbying, and party contributions) and how these activities affect firms’ performance, economic development and policy outcomes.
