O autorze

As a leading peace researcher, Paul Rogers has gained an international reputation for the critical, independent and rigorous analysis of international security issues and the underlying causes of global conflicts. His work on the responses to 9/11 and the continuing failure of the war on terror, in particular, has shown a degree of prescience that has attracted widespread attention. Moreover, he has coupled his academic analysis with a determination to communicate far beyond the confines of the academic setting. With many thousands of radio and television interviews, hundreds of public lectures and a global following for his web publishing, his extramural engagement efforts consistently seek to raise the level of public debate on international security issues.
