As an undergraduate Patrick Dunleavy studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, graduating in 1973. He moved to Nuffield College, Oxford to work on his doctoral thesis which was published in 1981 as The Politics of Mass Housing in Britain, 1945-75: Study of Corporate Power and Professional Influence in the Welfare State.{{cite web|title=Professor Patrick Dunleavy|url=http://www.lse.ac.uk/government/whosWho/profiles/pdunleavy@lseacuk/Home.aspx|website=LSE Department of Government staff|publisher=London School of Economics|access-date=23 June 2014}}

Dunleavy is a prominent political theorist specialising in the fields of public policy and government. His research has focused on the concepts of sectors and sectoral conflicts, rational choice theories of politics, the bureau-shaping model of bureaucracy, and the claimed contemporary public management paradigm of digital era governance. Dunleavy is a frequent blogger on the LSE's British Politics and Policy site and has had an active Twitter account since 2010 commentating predominately on British politics.{{cite web|title=Experts analyse and debate recent developments across UK government, politics and policy|url=http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/category/patrick-dunleavy/|website=British Politics and Policy Blog|publisher=London School of Economics|access-date=23 June 2014}}{{cite web|title=Patrick Dunleavy|url=https://twitter.com/PJDunleavy|website=Twitter|publisher=Twitter|access-date=23 June 2014}} He is also former joint editor-in-chief of the academic journal Global Policy.{{Cite journal | last1 = Held | first1 = David | last2 = Dunleavy | first2 = Patrick | last3 = Nag | first3 = Eva-Maria | author-link1 = David Held | title = Editorial statement | journal = Global Policy | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | pages = 1–3 | doi =10.1111/j.1758-5899.2009.00017.x | date = January 2010 | doi-access = free }}

Dunleavy is also the author of advice texts for humanities and social sciences students, most notably his book Authoring a PhD: How to plan, draft, write and finish a doctoral dissertation or thesis (2003).

In June 2014 Dunleavy examined how costly it would be to set up an independent Scottish state as lead author of the report Transitioning to a New Scottish State commissioned by The Sunday Post.{{cite web|last1=Dunleavy|first1=Patrick|title=Transitioning to a New Scottish State|url=http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/files/2014/06/Transitioning-to-a-new-Scottish-state-PD-ebook.pdf|website=blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/how-costly-would-it-be-for-scotland-to-transition-to-independence/|publisher=Democratic Audit, London School of Economics|access-date=23 June 2014}}{{cite web|last1=Dunleavy|first1=Patrick|title=Dunleavy – "Demanding but feasible timetable for transition"|url=http://www.sundaypost.com/news-views/scotland/independence-referendum/independence-on-trial/dunleavy-demanding-but-feasible-timetable-for-transition-1.434948|website=The Sunday Post|date=22 June 2014|publisher=D C Thomson, Dundee|access-date=23 June 2014}} Both the Yes and No camps in the independence debate claimed the report to differing extents validated their own arguments and figures.{{cite news|title=Scottish independence: Prof Patrick Dunleavy makes £200m start-up claim|work=BBC News|date=22 June 2014|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-27962983|access-date=23 June 2014}} Dunleavy has since declared publicly that the UK Treasury "badly misrepresents" his research.{{cite web|title=Scottish independence: Treasury figure for cost of Yes vote 'badly misrepresents' key research – says academic whose own work it was based on|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/scottish-independence-treasury-figure-for-cost-of-yes-vote-badly-misrepresents-key-research--says-academic-whose-own-work-it-was-based-on-9443603.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/scottish-independence-treasury-figure-for-cost-of-yes-vote-badly-misrepresents-key-research--says-academic-whose-own-work-it-was-based-on-9443603.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|website=The Telegraph|access-date=24 July 2014}}
