Our journal European Journal of International Security (EJIS) bring you their latest updates.
We are delighted to announce that Matthew Ford (Associate Professor at the Swedish Defence University) and Simone Tholens (Associate Professor of International Relations at John Cabot University, and part-time assistant professor at the European University Institute) are joining EJIS as associate editors.
Matthew Ford has a particular interest in war and the data-saturated battlefields of the 21st century. Matthew's third book entitled, "War in the Smartphone Age Smartphone" was published by Hurst & Co, London in June and by Oxford University Press, New York in September 2025.
Simone's main research interest are interventions, security assistance, bordering processes, and materiality of global war practices, as well as theories of contestation and practice. She has worked on these issues in the Middle East, Western Balkans and South East Asia. In her research, she combines critical approaches to security & conflict, with practice-based methodologies. Her ongoing projects include a monograph on Assembling Security Assistance: Knowledge, Materiality and Networks of a Global Practice (for submission with Oxford University Press).
EJIS has also been proud to publish some fantastic new open access FirstView articles, including Finding the thieves amongst the liars: Thinking clearly about cyber-enabled influence operations by Christopher Whyte and Ugochukwu Etudo, and Digital im/materiality and the securitisation of cyber by Håvard Rustad Markussen.
