There is a mostly theoretical part, which is envisaged as a contribution to social movement theory. The first one is an attempt to look in a more comprehensive and theoretical way at the question of why, how and when ‘outsiders’ find a place in social movements.
I have three main current research projects.
I also supervise undergraduates writing theses in these areas. I provide tutorials for students at Queen’s College (and at other colleges too) who are studying the core and optional papers on British government and politics. At Queen’s, I am Praelector (Tutor) in Politics, which means organising the teaching of Politics for the undergraduates studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and History and Politics. For the Department, I provide undergraduate lectures and classes, mostly in British political history and modern British politics and government, and supervise graduate students in the fields of modern British politics and government, political history and the politics and history of modern social movements. In normal times, I'm an Associate Professor in Politics (CUF) and Fellow and Praelector in Politics at The Queen's College. We divide up the work in academic recruitment and staff review and development, as well strategic planning, governance, risk management and equality and diversity. I also represent the Department on the Divisional Board. I lead on teaching and courses, non-academic HR, communications, development, building matters, and health and safety. Petra Schleiter leads on research, finance, the REF, recognition of distinction and the award of titles. The 33 chapters are highly informative and up-to-date, and authored by a distinguished and diverse group of international scholars.I am joint Head of Department (with Petra Schleiter). The vastly changed, second edition of "The Handbook" extends its run as the most authoritative and convenient source for a comprehensive and sophisticated overview of a vibrant field of scholarship. A must buy for libraries and a first-to-go-to reference point for scholars. Each of the thirty three individual essays does exactly what the editors must have hoped for - provide a thoroughgoing guide to nearly every conceivable topic of interest to the student of international politics. This is not so much a 'handbook', more a brilliantly conceived and wonderfully designed piece of scholarship that makes a major contribution of its own to the field of IR. The Handbook of International Relations remains an essential benchmark publication for all advanced undergraduates, graduate students and academics in politics and international relations. Transnational Diffusion: Norms, Ideas and PoliciesĪ truly international undertaking, this Handbook reviews the many historical, philosophical, analytical and normative roots to the discipline and covers the key contemporary topics of research and debate today. International Law and International Relations Efforts at Theoretical Synthesis in IR: Possibilities and Limits Critical Theories and Poststructuralism The Second Edition has been expanded to 33 chapters and fully revised, with new chapters on the following contemporary topics: In this eagerly-awaited new edition, the Editors have once again drawn together a team of the world's leading scholars of international relations to provide a state-of-the-art review and indispensable guide to the field, ensuring its position as the pre-eminent volume of its kind. The original Handbook of International Relations was the first authoritative and comprehensive survey of the field of international relations.
