About

Overview

Laust Schouenborg joined City in 2019. Before that he was Associate Professor of Global Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark. He has also held various visiting fellowships at Stanford University, La Trobe University, SOAS and the New School. He completed his PhD in International Relations at LSE.

Laust’s research interests revolve around different historical dimensions of international relations, drawing mainly on the English School approach to IR. In recent years, he has focused in particular on security and disarmament issues, and is the current convener of the ISA Working Group on Security and International Society. In a major new research project, he aims to explore the role of armed forces in international society.

Laust has written three books, published by Routledge and Cambridge University Press. The latest together with Barry Buzan.
