Irakli Barbakadze

My name is Irakli Barbakadze. I am a research associate at the Department of Political Economy at King's College London. I am working on the ADVODID project to understand the role of digital technology in political campaigning and advocacy. 

Previously, I was a postdoctoral research fellow 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. In particular, I am interested in how firms engage in political activities (such as political connection, lobbying, and party contributions) and how these activities affect firms’ performance, economic development and policy outcomes.
