Profile details
Professor of Geography and Political Economy
Fellow, St. Peter's College, Oxford
Academic Profile
Vlad Mykhnenko is Professor of Geography and Political Economy in the University of Oxford and Fellow of St. Peter's College, Oxford. Over the past couple of decades, Prof. Mykhnenko's empirical research interests have expanded from middle-income economies of eastern Europe (including Polish Upper Silesia and the Ukrainian Donbas) to encompass local and regional development phenomena observed across high-income economies in the West, as well as low-income cities and regions across the globe. So far, he has produced over 140 research outputs, in total, containing books, chapters in books, journal articles, published conference proceedings, working papers, research reports, digital artefacts, databases, and other publications.
Prof. Mykhnenko’s research has generated £15.6 million in external research funding, with almost £2 million as a Principal Investigator. At Oxford, he has served as Consortium Lead and Principal Investigator of the Smart Shrinkage Solutions (3S RECIPE, €1.7m, 2017-2020) -a transdisciplinary international research project funded by the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe and the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council, before pursuing a series of industry-funded research projects on the future of cities, work, ESG, metaverse, money, government, and data privacy. Vlad's current externally-funded research initiatives focus on green steel - rebuilding Ukraine’s iron and steel sector post-war without the use of fossil fuels - and sustainable urban development and teritorial cohesion in Qazaqstan.
Prof. Mykhnenko holds a PhD in Political Economy from Darwin College, the University of Cambridge (2005); an MA in International Relations and European Studies from the Central European University (CEU, Budapest Campus, 1999); and an MA (1998) and a BA (1996) in International Relations from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Vlad joined the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (ContEd) in January 2017 to take up an Associate Professorship in Sustainable Urban Development. At Oxford, he has sat on twenty-odd Departmental and University committees, including the Research Degrees Panel, and chaired the ContEd-Kellogg College Liaison Committee. In 2018-2021, he served as the Department's Director of Graduate Studies for Postgraduate Research Students (DGS-R).
Vlad's previous academic appointments were at the University of Birmingham, Al-Farabi Qazaq National University in Almaty, the University of Nottingham, the University of Glasgow, and at the CEU Centre for Policy Studies in Budapest.
Prof. Mykhnenko regularly acts in an advisory capacity for the public, private, and civil society sectors, local and national governments, intergovernmental organisations, and multinational enterprises. He currently serves as a non-executive director of Oxford International Study Abroad Programme Ltd., an EQAC-accredited short course provider.
In 2015, Vlad was appointed by the Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development to a High-Level expert group of 200 leading urbanists to provide UN-Habitat with independent policy recommendations. His Policy Unit 9 submission on urban services and technology has subsequently formed an integral part of the New Urban Agenda – a universal framework of actions for housing and sustainable urban development, which was officially adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2016. In addition, he has sat on the Advisory Group on Declining Cities at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (2014-2015).
More recently, Prof. Mykhnenko has given expert evidence in public to the UK House of Commons, in connection with the Foreign Affairs Committee inquiry into the challenges of Recovery in Ukraine. In May 2023, he was invited by the Mayor of Mariupol to advise Mr. Boichenko and the local authority on Mariupol Reborn – a post-liberation revival strategy for the pulverised east Ukrainian city. Prof. Mykhnenko also sits on a Shrinking Smartly and Sustainably consultation panel of world-leading experts at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2023-2026).
Vlad is originally from Donetsk, Ukraine.
Research
The great bulk of Prof. Mykhnenko’s academic research is devoted to geographical political economy – an interdisciplinary social science-based study of spatialities and landscapes of modern capitalism, its varieties, development trajectories, and contested futures. Generally, geographical political economy is founded on the assumption that social, technological, economic, environmental, and political processes are necessarily related – co-evolving spatially, and co-implicated territorially with each other. The connective thread throughout much of Vlad’s work has involved the application of theoretical, conceptual, and methodological dimensions of Economic Geography, Geographical and Urban Economics, and Comparative Political Economy to the real-world challenges of urban and regional growth and decline, development and de-development, shrinkage, and resilience in the context of chronic stress (e.g., de-industrialisation, out-migration, and sub-replacement fertility), and sudden shock events (e.g., natural disasters, revolutions, and wars).
