Europe continues to draw attention for a variety of reasons. The economy is one, and perhaps the most pressing for now. However, there are other, more systemic issues at hand as the security landscape evolves, NATO's relevance is questioned, immigration continues to change demographics and Russia and the United States rework their relationships with EU and non-EU countries. Europe has been cited as an area testifying to the Western triumph over conflict, one that is settled, cooperative and secure. Geopolitically, however, no solution is permanent. These issues are nearing a head and states will move to secure their strategic imperatives. How this manifests will be discussed by Dr. Diarmuid Maguire from the University of Sydney.
Dr. Maguire’s main areas of research are in European and international politics, social movements and protest movements. His current research is on the interaction between protest movements and state authorities in the ethnically divided societies of Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine. Publications include contributions to Theories and Methods in Political Science, Mediterranean Politics, The Politics of Social Movements, and Joyce in Rome. He has also written articles on protest movements, the language of political conflict, literature and politics, the Northern Ireland crisis and international relations.
