Jeff McNeill is a former senior lecturer in environmental policy and planning in the School of People, Environment and Planning, Massey University, New Zealand. He holds a PhD in politics, a MA(Hons) in Geography and a Master of Public Policy (Distinction). Jeff came to academia after an extensive career in New Zealand central and regional government and as a consultant. He has also spent time working in the New Zealand and European parliaments. His research focuses primarily on the regional level of government and non-state regulation and their implications for environmental management in New Zealand.
