Michael Merlingen is an Associate Professor. His current research interests lie in EU foreign and security policy, and heterodox IR theory, notably the intersections of poststructuralist and marxist theories. His current teaching portfolio includes courses on IR theory (introductory and advanced), foreign policy analysis, and EU foreign and security policy. Michael has published two books on the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP): European Union Peacebuilding and Policing: Governance and the European Security and Defence Policy, (London: Routledge, 2006; paperback edition in 2008; with the help of R. Ostrauskaitė); and the edited volume European Security and Defence Policy: An Implementation Perspective, (London: Routledge, 2008; paperback edition in 2010; co-editor Ostrauskaitė). His third book – European Security and Defense Policy: What It Is, How It Works, Why It Matters – is published by Lynne Rienner in October 2011. Michael’s papers on and contributions to EU studies, including the CSDP, and IR theory have appeared in journals such as Millennium; Alternatives: Global, Local, Political; Journal of Common Market Studies; International Political Sociology; Security Dialogue; Zeitschrift für Internationale Beziehungen; and European Foreign Affairs Review. He is currently in charge of CEU’s contribution to a big FP-7 project, running from 2011-2013, that examines cultures of governance and conflict resolution in Europe and India. Also, Michael has just embarked on a new long-term research project to explore ways to combine Marxists and Foucauldian insights, notably with respect to theorisations of world order and imperialism. He welcomes inquiries from prospective PhD students wishing to work on issues having to do with his research interests.
