Adam K. Webb
Adam K. Webb is Resident Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Hopkins-Nanjing Centre, an overseas campus of Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. He previously taught at Princeton and Harvard and was a Visiting Scholar at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His intellectual interests cut broadly across political thought, globalisation, and critiques of modernity. He has also engaged topics connected with politics on the ground, including social movements, alternative rural development, and opinion on cosmopolitanism and the rise of China. His writing is shaped by a personal background of spending time all over the world, having grown up in England, Spain, and the U.S., and having done fieldwork in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. He is the author of three books (listed below), and is currently completing a fourth book laying out a sphere pluralist vision of future global constitutional order.
