PAIS GEM Fellow has edited, together with Prof. Joachim A. Koops (Vesalius College Brussels), the most recent Special Issue of International Peacekeeping titled ‘A European Return to United Nations Peacekeeping?’.

The main rationale of this collection of articles is to provide in-depth case studies of a selected sample of European countries in order to assess the opportunities, challenges and future possibilities of a ‘European return to UN peacekeeping’. The articles consist of both policy papers and theory-guided research in order to connect the analysis of recent and policy-oriented developments to wider and more general theoretical debates on the supply of peacekeeping troops and on the history, track-record and future potentials of European approaches to blue helmet operations.

The issue takes stock of nine key European countries: France (Thierry Tardy), UK (David Curran and Paul D. Williams), Germany (Joachim A. Koops), Italy (Giulia Tercovich), The Netherlands (Niels van Willigen), Ireland (Raymond Murphy), Denmark (Peter Viggo Jakobsen), Sweden (Kristina Zetterlund and Claes Nilsson) and Norway (John Karlsrud and Kari Osland).

The Special Issue is available here:

We are thrilled to announce to all students and staff that PAIS is ranked 3rd out of 79 Politics Departments in .

We are ranked 1st for both the student experience and teaching quality in the entire Russell Group of elite Politics Departments.

Professor Nick Vaughan-Williams, Head of PAIS, commented: “Congratulations to all students and staff on this outstanding performance. This latest ranking in The Times/Sunday Times is yet further evidence of PAIS’ position as one of the UK’s leading all-round Politics and International Studies Departments. Our deep commitment as a community of scholars to tackling some of the biggest global challenges today — inequality, education, migration, climate change, conflict, to name only a few — means that our cutting-edge research feeds directly into our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The strengths and benefits of this symbiotic approach to research and teaching is reflected time and time again in our consistent appearance at the very top of all major league tables in the UK and beyond".

Thank you to all our students and staff for PAIS' continued success.
