Colin Talbot

I'm Colin Talbot, currently professor of government and public administration at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK.

I write mainly about public management issues, but also some wider subjects with a special interest in (evolved) human behaviours.

Besides academic writing, I also write and comment extensively in the media - including through my Whitehall Watch blog. (www.whitehallwatch.org)

I have been a specialist adviser to two Parliamentary Select Committees and advised dozens of organisations and governments.
