Vlad Mykhnenko is Professor of Geography and Political Economy in the University of Oxford and Fellow of St. Peter's College, Oxford. He is an economic geographer, specialising in geographical political economy. The great bulk of Prof. Mykhnenko’s academic research is devoted to geographical political economy – an interdisciplinary social science-based study of spatialities and landscapes of modern capitalism, its varieties, development trajectories, and contested futures. Generally, geographical political economy is founded on the assumption that social, technological, economic, environmental, and political processes are necessarily related – co-evolving spatially, and co-implicated territorially with each other.
