Research

Research Summary

Professor Inderjeet Parmar's research interests focus on the history, politics and sociology of Anglo-American foreign policy elites over the past 100 years, specifically embodied in organisations such as philanthropic foundations, think tanks, policy research institutes, university foreign affairs institutes, and state agencies.

His latest book, Foundations of the American Century: Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller Foundations in the Rise of American Power was published in 2012 by Columbia University Press, and reissued in paperback in 2015. The Chinese language edition is due to be published by Peking University Press in late 2017.

He is currently working on a long-term research monograph critiquing the post-1945 liberal international order – Presidents and Prime Ministers at War: Race, Empire and Elitism in Anglo-American Wars from Korea to the Wars on Terror.

He has authored 3 books and edited or co-edited numerous books and journal special issues, and dozens of book chapters and articles.
