Professor Baker is interested in using the unique SPEA structure to bridge the gap between the natural and social sciences. To this he adds a consuming interest in comparative study for the perspective it brings to the factors that are normally implicit, buried, or simply overlooked when we examine the way that we perceive and handle problems. The third element in his array of intellectual fascinations is a consuming passion for the oft-neglected element of history in completing the analysis of contemporary environmental, and other, policy problems, believing that the provenance of problems is as important as their definition.

He was an Exhibitioner of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and a Rockefeller Scholar in the 1960s, studying environmental degradation and African history in Uganda. He wrote also on the eclipse of Spanish power in Africa and spent some time with the Spanish Foreign Legion in Rio de Oro. Completing his doctorate from London in 1968 at the age of 24, he signed on as a lecturer at the University of East Africa, from where he was recruited by the University of East Anglia in England, and went on to be a co-founder of the School of Development Studies, and its dean in 1974 (age 30). He worked with Unesco, the World Bank, and then spent three years in Saudi Arabia working with the Ministry of the Interior on, inter alia, the reorganization of the Haj pilgrimage. He was then seconded to the British Government, and spent time as an advisor to the Government of Fiji, from where he came to his present chair at Indiana University. He has worked in 97 countries, and holds honorary doctorates from Bulgaria and Azerbaijan. He has designed or co-designed six new departments or schools around the world. He has always worked in interdisciplinary schools.

In 2001, Prof. Baker completed a five-year research program conducted with scholars from around the world, and supported by his second Fulbright in Bulgaria, resulting in a book published in that year entitled Transitions from Authoritarianism: The Role of the Civil Service. This looks at the trend toward democracy in countries that had formerly been right-wing (Spain, Argentina etc.) or left-wing (Russia, Bulgaria etc) authoritarian, centralized systems. The civil service has the task of delivering democracy, but under authoritarianism is was structured to do something totally different. So, if it is not reformed, how may we expect it to act as a vehicle for reform?
