Research summary
AI-generated

Stephen McBride's work focuses on political economy, examining how governments and institutions respond to economic crises through policies of austerity, trade, and public sector reform. His research looks at issues like social insecurity, poverty, labor movements, and the shift toward corporate influence in national policy-making, with a particular focus on Canada. Note that the publication list provided appears to mix in unrelated titles from other fields (e.g., medicine, agriculture), which are likely due to a data-matching issue rather than reflecting this researcher's actual body of work.

Publication counts have fluctuated considerably, with a large spike in 2021 followed by a decline through 2025, though this may partly reflect batch publication of multiple related book chapters rather than a strictly steady or growing research pace.
