Areas of expertise My work addresses issues of maritime security, ocean governance and capacity building. I am author or editor of over 90 publications on these themes, including 14 books and special issues. These include Understanding Maritime Security (forthcoming 2024), Capacity Building for Maritime Security (2020), and British Foreign Policy and the National Interest (2014). I have advised government departments including the UK Cabinet Office, Ministry of Defence and Department for Transport, most recently on the 2022 UK National Strategy for Maritime Security. I have also provided written and oral evidence to both houses of the UK parliament. My maritime security research has been funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council, British Academy and EU Horizon 2020 programme.
