Emily Jones is an Associate Professor at the Blavatnik School of Government where she directs the Global Economic Governance Programme which fosters research and debate on how to make the global economy inclusive and sustainable. She is also a Fellow of University College. Emily's research examines the political economy of global trade and finance, focusing on the ways in which governments can exert influence in asymmetric negotiations. Emily teaches courses on international political economy and negotiation strategy and skills for public policy, specialising in international trade. She holds a DPhil in International Political Economy from the University of Oxford, and an MSc (distinction) in Development Economics from the School of African and Oriental Studies, University of London, and a first-class BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford.

Emily Jones' edited collection explores how the governments of poor countries encounter and respond to global regulatory regimes. The study thus probes the exuberance — often real but sometimes staged — with which eleven case study countries have adopted enhanced Basel standards, a regulatory framework prepared by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).
