research on global security
The global security theme includes two main projects: "Oil and Conflict" and "Human Security".
In addition, Professor Mary Kaldor is planning a new edition of her book New and Old Wars and a future book
on the limits of military power
human security: study group on europe's security capabilities
The Study Group, convened by Professor Mary Kaldor and coordinated by
the Centre, started work in the autumn of 2003. Its purpose is
to think about Europe’s security needs from the ‘bottom-up’,
in terms of actual experience and likely situations in which
security capabilities might be required, rather than from an
institutional or geo-political perspective. In particular, it
focuses on the Petersberg tasks and civil-military co-operation.
oil & conflict
Many contemporary conflicts involve oil-dependent states.
With support from the Ford Foundation, this project is designed to investigate
whether oil-dependence causes, exacerbates, or mitigates conflict through six case studies –
Chechnya, Casanare in Colombia, Aceh in Indonesia, Nagorno Karabakh, Angola and the Niger
Delta.
