Biography:

Antonio’s research looks at the underlying social processes that drive cross-sector collaboration between public and non-public actors in the board of directors of global multi-stakeholder partnerships. He employs stochastic models of social network analysis to disentangle the different social configurations in which effective collaboration between individuals from very different organisational backgrounds unfolds. Motivations, accountability, power, and resource dependence are some of the variables being explored. This research aims at improving the way how governments and inter-governmental organisations design, promote and manage multi-stakeholder partnerships for development.

During his PhD, Antonio has presented his research in the XXII Annual Conference of the International Research Society for Public Management at the University of Edinburgh 2018, The IV European Conference on Social Networks at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 2019, and in the VII International Conference on Sustainable Development at Columbia University NY 2019.

He has also been an exchange student at Yale University during the fall of 2019.

A record of research programmes like the Mplus course in Structural Equation Modelling from Cambridge University and the Social Network Analysis course from University of Essex has increased Antonio’s set of research skills.

He holds a MA in Public Policy from the University of Nottingham in the UK (2014-2015) and a BA in International Business from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in Mexico (2006-2010).
