Profile
Phil Haynes has been Head of the School Applied Social Science at the University of Brighton since 2008 and Professor of Public Policy since 2009. His inaugural lecture (see below) was about the application of complexity theory to public policy and he has published widely on this topic and presented in a number of countries and at international conferences.
His research has been funded by the ESRC and in 2012 he published: Public Policy: Beyond the Financial Crisis: An International Comparative Study with Routledge (ISBN 978-0-415-67439-3). This book uses an innovative combined method of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and Cluster Analysis to compare and contrast OECD countries before and during the Financial Crisis of 2008-11. He argues for an alternative to austerity economics and advocates a policy framework that builds local and community collaborations and small and medium enterprises. This is underpinned by a new stable financial system where more savings and credit investment is channelled towards public works of future national benefit.
