Liam Kelly

Research Interests:

Liam is passionate about the intersection between philosophy, economics, and geopolitics. He is particularly interested in the philosophical foundations of justice and morality, and how these concepts shape modern economic and political systems — and, increasingly, in how they translate into the practical work of politics and public policy. He believes these ideas are key to thoroughly understanding the increasingly complex issues of the modern world. His most recent work examines the fragility of Russia's war economy and how sanctions, militarization, and international isolation are compounding the pressure on its long-term economic prospects.
