He teaches on the MPhil in Public Policy program and leads a course on rhetorical leadership for the MPhil in Politics and International Studies.
Professor Grube's research focuses on political decision-making, administrative leadership, institutional memory, and the role of political rhetoric in public policy. His work examines how governments make decisions, how civil servants influence policy processes, and how political rhetoric shapes public policy outcomes. He has conducted comparative research across multiple countries, particularly focusing on Westminster systems of government, with significant publications including 'Megaphone Bureaucracy' (2019), 'Comparing the traditions of cabinet government' (2021), and 'Why Governments Get It Wrong' (2022).
His scholarly output reveals consistent thematic development across decades, with recent work exploring institutional pathos, blame avoidance in government, and the dynamics of cabinet decision-making. His research bridges theoretical political science with practical public administration concerns, offering insights relevant to both scholars and practitioners while maintaining a strong empirical foundation in comparative government studies.
