John Parkinson's published work ranges across topics including legitimacy and deliberative democracy; public participation initiatives in the UK National Health Service; the evaluation of referendums as decision making tools; and British democratic institutions. He is Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of Warwick, where he works on democracy and public policy, especially the application of normative political theory to policy and institutions. His 2006 book, Deliberating in the Real World (Oxford University Press) has been described as a 'landmark work' (John Dryzek), and was nominated for the Political Studies Association's WJM McKenzie Prize.
