Dr Subrahmanyam's research mainly concerns state-building and governance patterns within former West European empires. She is particularly interested in the impact of colonialism on democratisation and development patterns in Africa and Asia. Dr Subrahmanyam's current research focuses on the causes and consequences of the Arab Spring riots and revolutions in North Africa, with specific attention to issues of poverty, inequality and unemployment. In addition, she has published articles on ministerial resignations in Britain. Dr Subrahmanyam also has extensive practical experience in public policy research and evaluation. Past consultancy clients have included the African Development Bank, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), Transparency International UK and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
