Professor Alister Miskimmon

School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics

Professor Miskimmon's research covers a number of areas of politics and international relations. Firstly, the complexities of public diplomacy and how political and economic actors seek to exert influence in international affairs, within the context of the fundamental changes which the internet and the new media ecology have introduced.

Secondly, he has a long-standing interest in security studies and foreign policy analysis, particularly in the European and transatlantic context.

Thirdly, he is also very interested in debates on the future of international order and the implications of a greater role of China and other emerging powers on the global governance, international organizations and norms in the international system.
