About the lecturer:
Dr Hugo Meijer is Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the European University Institute (EUI, Florence), Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies. Starting in early 2019, he will be Research Fellow (CNRS) at the Centre for International Studies of Sciences Po (Paris). He is also the founding director of The European Initiative on Security Studies (EISS), a network of over eighty universities that share the goal of consolidating security studies in Europe. Previously, he was Lecturer in Defence Studies at King’s College London (2013-2016) and a Researcher at the Institute for Strategic Research (IRSEM, Paris, 2016-2017).
He received his PhD in International Relations from Sciences Po in 2013 (summa cum laude). His research interests lie at the intersection of foreign policy analysis and security studies. He currently focuses on the reconfiguration of US hegemony in the face of a rising China and on its implications for American alliances in Europe and Asia. In particular, he is working on a two-pronged research project that examines the evolution of US posture and alliances in East Asia and of Western foreign and defence policies.
