Jan Stockbruegger (Lead Editor)
I am a Graduate Student in International Relations at the Department of Poltical Science at Brown University, U.S. Before joining Brown I was a Research Assistant at the Department of Politics and International Relations at Cardiff University, UK, and a Researcher at the Institute for Peace and Development at the University Duisburg-Essen, Germany. I have a BA in African Studies from Bayreuth University, Germany, and a Research Master in African Studies from Leiden University, the Netherlands. I have also worked in the field of security and development cooperation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Hargeisa, Somaliland/Somalia. In my research I analyse the evolution of international order at sea. I have done so primarily by studying counter-piracy practices in the Gulf of Aden and the Western Indian Ocean. My work has been published or is forthcoming in working papers, book chapters and journal articles such as Contemporary Security Policy.
