released its flagship report, Confronting the Crisis of Global Governance, at the Peace

Palace in The Hague on June 16, 2015. Looking toward the 75th anniversary of the United

Nations in 2020, it underscored the need for new tools to manage the world's most pressing

problems, from violent conflict and climate change to the "hyperconnected" global

economy, and stressed the need to build justice as well as security. "Just Security" is not

only a matter of fundamental fairness but a way to combat the alienation that increases

receptivity to violent extremist thought. Emphasizing the intersection of security and

justice in global governance, Just Security 2020 aims to establish a broad-based

international coalition of state and non-state actors to pursue key Commission

recommendations and related global governance reform.

Responsibilities:

Help organize the abovementioned international Track 1.5 policy dialogues with

Remain on top of program support and administration, such as monitoring

programmatic budget expenditures, addressing the logistical requirements of Track

1.5 and expert meetings, organizing events, calendars, to-dos, and programmatic

deadlines;

articles that address an important research question, display innovation in research,

contribute in a novel way to a body of knowledge, and (as appropriate) demonstrate

theoretical development with state-of-the art use of appropriate methodological tools.

programme at Ghent University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sven Biscop. The

research project has the provisional title “From Trade Partners to Strategic Partners”

(details to be agreed between ESR and supervisor). Can the European Union use trade as

an instrument of its Grand Strategy, in pursuit of its overall strategic interests instead of

just its economic interests? This question about “geo-economics” is the starting point for

this PhD research project, which aims to assess the impact of trade on the overall potential

for strategic partnership between the EU and the US, and potentially other great and

regional powers, especially with regard to (1) the likelihood of increased joint action in

foreign affairs, democracy, governance and the rule of law; (2) security and defence

cooperation; (3) global norm-setting power and authority; and (4) strategic impact on the

multilateral architecture and on relations with the other regional and security blocs.
