Welcome to Stefan Elbe's Website

I am Director of the Centre for Global Health Policy and Professor of International Relations in the Department of International Relations at the University of Sussex, which I joined after holding positions at the University of Essex, the University of Warwick, the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and the London School of Economics, where I obtained my doctorate in the Department of International Relations.

I have also served as an expert scientific advisor to the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).

On this site you can find additional information about my publications (including downloadable files),  research in progress, and my teaching.  

My research interests are broadly in the areas of international security, health security, pandemic preparedness, the global politics of disease, human security, national security, securitization theory, HIV/AIDS and international security, risk, biopolitics, the idea of Europe, and the International Political Thought of Nietzsche.
