As of March 2026, this website is no longer being updated. I now work mainly on climate issues, especially in Brighton and Hove, and new work can be found on the website of Climate:Change, our independent think-tank on socially inclusive action in the City: www.climatechangebh.org.uk.
Meanwhile, however, this website has over 850 entries, mostly representing my work on international development from 2010-2025. Among much else, there are over 50 book reviews, more than 20 papers and training cases on bridging research and policy and on managing think-tanks, and many papers on other topics, including aid, food security and nutrition, and the future of international development. See ‘Topics and Themes’ for more details. I can be reached at sm@simonmaxwell.net.

The newly released CDKNetwork in conversation video series brings together key policy-makers, thought leaders and project partners working on climate compatible development around the globe.
Each interview explores the future of sustainable development, the challenges facing the sector and some of the innovative solutions shaping the political landscape in the coming years. The series is presented by Simon, CDKNetwork Chair.
