Associate Professor Llewelyn Hughes
Research interests
In his academic work Llewelyn is interested in how public policies affect, and are affected by, energy markets. He is currently investigating how and why energy policies are changing in response to the problem of climate change, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region. A second project examines how exposure to extreme weather events affects beliefs in climate change. Llewelyn also has an interest in fossil fuels. In 2014 his book Globalizing Oil was published through the Business and Public Policy series with Cambridge University Press (reviewed here by Paul Stevens in The Energy Journal). His research is published or forthcoming in Annual Review of Political Science, Business and Politics, Climatic Change, Energy Policy, Environmental Science & Policy, Global Environmental Change, International Studies Quarterly, and other academic journals, as well as in numerous policy outlets.
