Biography

Dr Emilian Kavalski received his doctoral training in international politics at Loughborough University (UK). He had previously gained an MA in English Philology at the University of Veliko Turnovo (Bulgaria) and an MA in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies at the University of Warwick (UK). He has held the Andrew Mellon Fellowship position at the American Institute for Indian Studies (New Delhi, India), the Killam Postdoctoral position at the Department of Political Science, University of Alberta (Canada), and research positions at Aalborg University (Denmark) and at the Institute for the International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict, Ruhr Universitat-Bochum (Germany). Dr Kavalski's research has focused on European politics, especially the enlargement, common foreign and security policy, and external relations of the European Union as well as NATO's accession and Partnership for Peace programs. He is currently working on the security governance of complexity and the interactions between China, India and the European Union in Central Asia. Such research focus sketches a prolegomenon to the conceptual contexts of theory-building and policy-making. In both these areas, the application of the complexity paradigm has important implications for the way global life is approached and understood.
