Personal profile

Overview

My research and teaching interests centre on global ethics, critical security studies, normative and critical international relations theory. Empirically, I am interested in UK and US foreign policy, human security, UN peacekeeping, and the politics of internationalised civilian protection.

My work has centred on the ways in which cosmopolitan commitments to human security and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) have been translated into the practice of UK and US national militaries.  I have explored the ways in which military doctrine, training, organisation and procurement evolved after the Cold War, to help national armed forces perform more effectively in peace operations and the prevention of mass atrocity crimes.  This research has been published in a number of leading international journals and formed the basis for my book The Cosmopolitan Military: Armed Forces and Human Security in the 21st Century, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2015.  

My current research project examines ideas of good statehood and the possibilities for progressive, 'remodern' internationalism, amidst the uncertainties of an emerging 'post-liberal' world order.  It explores the potential for a reconstructed and more participatory cosmopolitan politics in foreign policy, conceptions of national citizenship and everyday societal practices.   

 

In line with my own areas of expertise, I am particularly interested in supervising PhD projects that relate to:

  • Ethics and Foreign Policy
  • Applied Cosmopolitanism in World Politics
  • The English School of International Relations Theory
  • Critical Military Studies
  • Human Security
  • Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)
  • 'Post-liberal' World Ordering
  • Militaries and Militarisation in Society
  • Everyday Practices of Global Citizenship
  • The Politics of Internationalised Protection
