Biography

Michael Tyrala is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Public and International Affairs of the City University of Hong Kong. His research interests lie at the intersection between international relations, international political economy, historical macrosociology, development, and increasingly also social psychology. His primary focus is on the historical and contemporary trajectories of the global offshore economy, on the social forces that struggle against it, and on the evolving impacts of these struggles on the structural dynamics that constitute the global capitalist system. His professional experience spans work in the NGO sector, in international organizations and bodies such as NATO, the European Economic and Social Committee, and the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD, as well as in research institutions, most recently the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He is coauthor of The Uneven Offshore World: Mauritius, India, and Africa in the Global Economy (Routledge 2022), but his work also appears in journals such as Globalizations, Nature Communications, and PNAS Nexus, and soon also in an edited volume on the social science of the Covid-19 pandemic forthcoming with Oxford University Press.
