The speaker for this talk will be Philip Cunliffe, University College, London.
Philip Cunliffe is Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Risk and Disaster Reduction at University College London. He is the author, co-author and editor of eight books, together with numerous articles and book chapters on international politics, security and political order. His current research focuses on two interconnected themes: the consequences of shifts in the balance of power for governance systems, crisis management and political freedom; and the evolution of states from the institutional logic of the member-state towards renewed forms of democratic nation-statehood. He has served as Chief Editor of International Peacekeeping, Reviews Editor of the Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, and on the editorial boards of Third World Quarterly and the Journal of Regional Security.
About this series
The Westminster (Politics and International Relations) Conversations are a programme of (term-time) monthly events open to all, from new students to members of staff and external attendees.
The format is relaxed and moves away from the formal lecture presentation. Leading academic experts explain in an accessible way the background and context to their argument or analysis as well as presenting their key findings. For example, they might discuss with the audience how they came to the research area, the major ideas and thinkers they work with and the issues at stake in their research.
The talk and discussion will be followed by a reception to which everyone is invited.
