Basil Germond

I am a professor in the department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster University. Chair in International Security, I am specialised in naval affairs, seapower, maritime security, maritime geopolitics, and ocean governance. I employ multi-disciplinary approaches across social sciences. My research on naval power and maritime security engages with public policy stakeholders and the wider public. Prior to my coming to Lancaster in 2011, I was Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford (Changing Character of War programme) and Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews. I got my PhD from the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva. See my university webpage for more details.
