Mr Alistair Brisbourne

Alistair joined Royal Holloway as a PhD candidate in 2011. Having received a BA in Political Studies and History from Queen's University, Kingston, Canada and an MSc in International Relations from University College, Dublin, Ireland he is now embarking on further research under the supervision of Professor Chris Rumford. He is receiving funding for his research through the college. 

Alistair's main areas of interest include IR theory (and critical IR), political geography and global studies. His PhD research will investigate the relationship between civil society and governance in the Euro-Mediterranean by querying the decentring and rescaling of social relations in the broader context of globalisation and, more specifcally, within the geopolitics of the Euro-Med region.
