Alan Hudson is a political economist working in international development. He has spent the last 20 years analysing issues around globalisation, sovereignty and accountability for development. Having spent much of his career trying to understand the world in order to change it, he is now more focussed on helping people in developing countries to access the information and resources that they need to tackle the problems that they face, in the way that they see fit!

Alan currently works for the ONE Campaign, where he leads on governance, transparency and accountability. Immediately prior to working for ONE, Alan worked on a range of governance-related issues for DFID in London and Ethiopia. Prior to working for DFID Alan held a number of policy and research posts at the Overseas Development Institute, the UK Parliament, the Open University and the University of Cambridge.  Alan’s CV is available here.
