Biography

Dr. Oleksandr Svitych received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore. His research interests lie at the intersection of international relations, political economy, and critical social theory. His overarching research orientation is the relationship between markets and social stability in the context of the current international economic order.

Dr. Svitych is the author of the monograph on populism The Rise of the Capital-state and Neo-nationalism: A New Polanyian Moment published by Brill. His research also appeared in Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, Globalizations, and Review of International Political Economy, among others. Currently, he is working on two inter-related projects: a critical perspective on algorithmic governance and the politics of datafied cosmopolitanism.

Dr. Svitych is committed to critical and engaged pedagogy by emphasizing the liberating function of education. At JSIA, he has taught courses on populism, critical political economy, and political philosophy. Besides social sciences, he finds meaning in his family, development work, and martial arts.
