| Introduction | Professional researcher in international relations, security and defence with almost 25 years of experience in some of the world's leading research institutions in this field. I try to combine substantive depth with methodological rigor and creativity, always with a clear policy focus in mind. Starting my career as a Soviet specialist, I have branched out into a number of different directions, all related to international security policy: defence and security planning, NATO and European security and defence policy and homeland security. I still remain keenly interested in developments in the former Soviet Union. I have published widely in all these fields, currently most actively in the application of new ideas such as adaptive planning, security resilience, network-centrism, capabilities-based planning, and meta-foresight for national and European security policy planning in the broader sense (homeland security AND external action). |
