THE SPECIAL ISSUE ARTICLES CONTRIBUTORS ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Tony Judt sketched by Alan Cameron To most Americans, sadly, the name Tony Judt is as likely to evoke his free speech battle with the American Jewish Committee as his illustrious academic career. Disagreements over the Israeli question aside, Judt remains one of the pre-eminent European commentators in American academia. He has authored seven books, edited four, and made frequent contributions to the New York Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, and the New York Times. More Sven Biscop sketched by Anna Eriksson If it is one's conviction that the future of European Foreign Policy lies with the people that will shape it, then Belgian Professor Sven Biscop holds some of the keys to that future. Even before the EU adopted the European Security Strategy (ESS) - the first ever common foreign strategic vision of the Member States - in December 2003, Biscop was urging for a more coherent and active European strategy with regards to security issues and his advice was also presented within the design process of the final strategy. More Joseph S. Nye, Jr. sketched by Yumi Kim Situating Joseph S. Nye, Jr. within the world of foreign policy presents a host of difficulties. The length and breadth of his career preclude a cursory synopsis of the diverse range of issues covered by his published works, the positions he has held, and his impact in both the public and academic spheres. Through his many books as well as his articles in newspapers, magazines and journals worldwide, he occupies the position of a foreign policy intellectual, a liaison between the theories of academia and their practical application at a time of heightened US international involvement, most visibly in the Middle East. More Michael Stürmer sketched by Isil Oral Michael Stürmer was born on September 29, 1938, in Kassel, a city situated along the Fulda River in northern Hessen, Germany. Stürmer received degrees in History, Philosophy and Philology successively at the University of Marburg, Free University of Berlin and London School of Economics. He worked as a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg for thirty years; from 1973 up until 2003. During this period, he had also been a guest lecturer at prominent institutions such as Harvard University, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and the Sorbonne numerous times. More Jan Zielonka sketched by Hannah Kaplan Jan Zielonka was born in Czarnowasy, Poland on February 23, 1955. He studied Law at the University of Wroclaw in Poland and earned his doctorate degree in Political Science at the University of Warsaw. As an academic, he has held positions at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands, the European University Institute, in Florence, Italy, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in the Human and Social Sciences, and Oxford University. He has published many pieces in the field of comparative politics, namely in the area of Soviet and Eastern European studies, the history of political philosophy, international relations, human rights and security. More David P. Calleo sketched by Maite de Sola Perea David P. Calleo is the Dean Acheson Professor and Director of the European Studies Department at the Johns Hopkins University's Paul Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). He is an American scholar with a deep understanding and passion for Europe and one of the most recognized living specialists on Europe. Calleo received his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Yale University and joined its Faculty in 1960, starting in that way, at the age of 26, a brilliant academic career. He has also taught at Brown and Columbia Universities, at the College of Europe, the universities of Bonn and Munich, the Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva and the Institut d'Etudes Politiques of Paris. More Lawrence Freedman sketched by Saskia van Genugten Sir Lawrence Freedman is since 1982 Professor of War Studies and since 2003 Vice Principal (Research) at King's College London. His education started at Whitley Bay Grammar School in England and was continued through studies at the University of Manchester (BA), the University of York (B Phil) and the University of Oxford (D Phil). Successive research positions at the University of York, Nuffield College and Balliol College in Oxford and the Internation Institute for Strategic Studies in London provided him with a wide range of contacts in his particular field of research interest: contemporary defence and foreign policy issues.
