My name is James Rogers, and I established
Global Power Europe to discuss issues relating to the rise of the European Union as a major global actor. As the DRS Scholar at
Pembroke College,
University of Cambridge, I am a fledgling expert on the European Union’s foreign, security and defence policies. My Ph.D. research at the
Centre of International Studies focuses on the changes in European security culture during the post-Cold War era, and the emergence of a strategic culture at the European level since 1998. Between September and December 2008, I was a Visiting Fellow at the
European Union Institute for Security Studies, an official agency providing strategic foreign and defence policy guidance to the
European Union. I hold an M.Phil in Contemporary European Studies from
Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, and a BSc. Econ. (Hons.) in International Politics and Strategic Studies from the world’s first
Department of International Politics, which was established in 1919 at the
University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
