CHRISTIAN LEUPRECHT ’96: Military Operations in Response to Domestic Emergencies and Global Pandemics: Implications for Civil-Military Relations examines how military forces respond to crises such as pandemics and natural disasters, and the implications of those operations for civil-military relations (Springer).


PATRICK QUINTON-BROWN ’12: In Intervention before Interventionism, Quinton-Brown reconsiders the meaning of intervention and non-intervention in international society, focusing on how encounters with the Global South — the so-called “Bandung Powers” — have shaped normative and institutional trajectories since 1945. He argues that the present dilemma cannot be understood through cosmopolitan or liberal-solidarist duties, and that recovering an anti-colonial and solidarist internationalism requires unlearning long-held assumptions (Oxford University Press).

The volume gathers writers from around the world to highlight how creativity, enterprise, and grassroots initiatives flourish within dense urban environments (Coach House Books).


STEPHEN BEDE SCHARPER (Trinity Fellow): In The ‘Living Border’: Critical Border Studies in a Time of Climate Change, co-written with Hilary Cunningham, Scharper examines climate change in relation to border studies as part of the new edited volume Border Studies: A Multidisciplinary Approach (Edward Elgar Publishing).
