Mark Pennington has been Professor of Political Economy and Public Policy in the Department of Political Economy since January 2012. Prior to joining Kings’ he taught for 12 years in the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary, University of London. He holds a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Mark is currently Director of the Centre for the Study of Governance and Society. csgs.kcl.ac.uk/ . He works at the intersection of philosophy, politics, and economics with a particular focus on exploring problems of limited knowledge or bounded rationality and their relationship to ‘ideal’ and ‘non-ideal’ theorising in economics and political theory. This approach was exemplified in his 2011 book Robust Political Economy: Classical Liberalism and the Future of Public Policy (Edward Elgar). Mark has written widely on the political economy of urban planning, environmental governance, social capital, and the relationship between markets and democratic citizenship. He recently completed a major project on the ‘political economy of knowledge and ignorance.’ One output from this project was his newly completed book Foucault and Liberal Political Economy: Power, Knowledge, and Freedom (forthcoming with Oxford University Press), which makes the case for a ‘post-modern’ liberalism.
