INTRODUCTION
Although I have a science degree I work mostly on social and political issues, much of this for agencies of the United Nations, particularly in Asia.
Writer – I have written a number of books and reports. The most recent is the Oxford Guide to Countries of the World, the second edition of which was published in 2007. This year I have also written a history of the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Three earlier books have focused on international migration.
Editor – I have edited numerous publications for United Nations agencies, including the global UNDP Human Development Report. I currently edit the regional human development report for Asia and the Pacific. For some publications, for Oxford University Press and others, I take the publication to the page layout stage and prepare the files for the printer.
Web designer – Recently I have also been engaged in designing, writing and coding for websites. These include a site of my own, Stalker's Guide to International Migration, as well as the site for the NGO, Strategies for Hope.
