INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM
I focus on impact-led investigative journalism on underreported threats to democracy and universal human rights. Here is an example of my work, which is often collaborative, cross-border and data-driven:
BOOKS
Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy
Published by Bloomsbury Academic, May 2023
As European empires crumbled in the twentieth century, the power structures that had dominated the world for centuries were up for renegotiation. Yet instead of a triumph of democracy, what emerged was a silent coup, an unstoppable rise of global corporate power.
Exposing the origins of this epic power grab as well as its present-day consequences, Silent Coup is the result of two investigative journalists’ reports from twenty-five countries around the world. It provides an explosive guide to the rise of a corporate empire that now dictates how resources are allocated, how territories are governed, how justice is defined, and who is safe.
“Silent Coup is a highly revealing exposé of the hidden real world.”
―Noam Chomsky
“Silent Coup is a crime story: a gripping description of the murky legal, and regulatory structures and policy changes that privilege big corporations… Don’t miss this.”
―Jayati Ghosh
“This is a fantastic book exposing how corporations have insulated themselves from democratic decision-making and stolen our collective power.”
―Jeremy Corbyn
“Reading this book constitutes, in itself, an act of precious resistance.”
―Yanis Varoufakis
