RESEARCH
With an interdisciplinary background in the political and socio-economic sciences, Bonn's geographical area focus is on the Global South, particularly East and Southeast Asia, as well as in contemporary North-South relations. In recent years, his research work revolves around the theme of the 'Crises of Capitalist Development', which is manifested in the politico-economic concepts and socio-political phenomena that have emerged from his recent writings and publications, notably:
- authoritarian neoliberalism
- authoritarian populism
- human rights against populism
- the resurgence of nationalisms
- the reproduction of neoliberalism
- the contradictions between neoliberalization, democratization and autocratization
- sports politics and sports capitalism
- capital accumulation and the dispossession of the commons
- natural resource governance and reclaiming the commons in human-nature relations
- social innovation system
- the privatization of financing for development
- securitization against democratization and the war on terrorism
- elite capture of infrastructure projects associated with neoliberal policies
- the political reorganization of the global justice movement
- popular education and just sustainability
- technology, market dependence, and proletarianization.
Over the years, Bonn has been involved in the publication, research and advocacy on issues and topics such as history of economic policy, development strategies, innovation policy, public administration, local governance, human rights and democratization, social movements and civil society, labour market regulation and social welfare, globalization and trade unions, transformative social protection, social entrepreneurship, social commons, peace and security, ecology and climate change, migration and refugees, crimes and torture, global governance and local elite perceptions, Asia-Europe relations, and Southeast Asian political economy.

The Relevance and Benefits of Ongoing Research
Bonn's current research endeavour investigates the political economy of recent foreign policy shift from the old state-to-state aid relations to the new economic diplomacy focused on private sector development. Studying this emergent phenomenon on the private turn in Nordic countries' development cooperation with different types of regime in Asia is important in terms of: [i] present knowledge of North-South development relations; [ii] feasible development strategies for both developed and developing countries; and [iii] the implications for developmental prospects and democratization processes of what used to be known as aid recipient 'Third World' countries.
The research aims to capture the realpolitik of Nordic government-business strategizing adapted to particular political-economic regime contexts of Asia's challenging markets. Its empirical findings will provide scholarly appreciation of the imperatives, as well as probable contradictions, of the concepts of PSD (private sector development) and PCSD (policy coherence for sustainable development). As such, it will also have critical relevance to all stakeholders concerned with ethics in development cooperation and the principle of policy coherence for sustainability.
