During the presidency of Jacques Delors, he was a member of the Cabinet of Commissioner Stanley Clinton Davis at the European Commission in Brussels. His interest in European issues has been sustained in such initiatives as his pamphlet Drop the Dead Dogma (see Reports Pages) and his appointment as Quality Controller to The London Study - the future of the City, a two year work programme on the (pre-Mayor) future of London financed by the Association of London Government and the European Commission. He has also written and presented on the impact of EU enlargement for business and policy. Currently, he is helping, as an associate of the Future Foundation, to build the European version of nVision.

James Murphy has appeared on a number of tv and radio programmes such as Newsnight (to discuss the role of genetic research in forecasting human behaviour) and on the Today programme (to debate the 'myth of decline' in post-war socio-economic analysis in the UK). He is an occasional contributor to Market Leader, the magazine of the Marketing Society. And in 2003, he led a seminar on the theme of trust-building for brands at the European Marketing Forum. In 2003, he presented an updated version of the 'Peace&Plenty' analysis to the Policy Unit at No.10 Downing Street. He is currently working on a major study of the role of performance awards schemes in the education sector (2004).
