Media: US Presidential election commentary – Dr Morgan Rees

QUT Centre for Justice member Dr Morgan Rees was interviewed by Peter Gleeson on Radio 4BC about the upcoming American Presidential Election.

Morgan is a Lecturer in Policy and Politics and his research focuses on foreign policy analysis and International Relations theory. He studies the ways in which US Presidents have made critical decisions to use military force across key instances of humanitarian atrocities, and responses to terrorism. His book “Ideas and the Use of Force in American Foreign Policy – Presidential Decision-Making in a Post-Cold War World” was published in November 2021 with Bristol University Press. In it, he develops a theoretical framework utilising discursive institutionalist theory to analyse and understand the confounding variation in the implementation of the use of force in foreign interventions. He has also published in the journals Contemporary Politics and International Relations on the foreign policy decision-making of Presidents Clinton and Obama. His current research examines the consequences and future implications of President Donald Trump’s isolationist foreign policy.
