Stephen Hurt

Stephen is a critical international political economist with a longstanding interest in the intersection of trade and development. This has formed a major part of his research on EU-Africa relations, the political economy of post-apartheid South Africa and the response of labour movements to free trade. His most recent work considers the UK’s independent trade policy and in particular UK-Africa trade after Brexit. Stephen has provided written evidence to select committee inquiries in both the House of Commons and House of Lords and was the lead author of a policy briefing for the All Party Parliamentary Group for Africa.
