More specifically, her work examines the different ways in which global finance seeks profitable opportunities within localised social structures and outlines how African actors are extending their reach to embed global financial networks within national and local settings. Working within the tradition of Fernand Braudel, her analytical approach accentuates the significance of cultural and social factors often ignored by mainstream approaches to the political economy of global finance.
