In addition to working at the national level, he has also worked on regional development issues within Ireland, Northern Ireland, East Germany, the Italian Mezzogiorno and Kosovo. In the case of Northern Ireland, he has examined the strategic importance of North-South policy and business links on the island economy of Ireland and has advised the Northern Ireland Assembly on industrial strategy. He directed an investigation into the impacts of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on the regions of the United Kingdom, with special reference to Northern Ireland.
