Book Launch: Losing Control: Global Security in the 21st Century

Paul Rogers joins Neophytos Loizides on campus on Wednesday 11th May in the Templeman Lecture Theatre to discuss the latest edition of his seminal book.

University of Kent’s Sustainable Security Index invites you to join for the launch of the updated edition of Losing Control: Global Security in the 21st Century by Paul Rogers and moderated by Neophytos Loizides.

Written in the late 1990s, Losing Control was ahead of its time anticipating the 9/11 attacks and the US response to such an event and argued that the socioeconomic differences and limits to growth, particularly climate breakdown, is increasingly important for international security studies. The newest edition is a comprehensive revision and expansion of the original book, written through the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic pointing to the 2030s and ‘40s as a possible confrontation between a deeply insecure and environmentally ruined world and a peaceful and just world order.

Paul Rogers is the Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies at Bradford University and Honorary Fellow of the Joint Service Command and Staff College (JSCSC). He has written or edited 30 books and over 150 papers and book chapters. His work has been published in many languages, including Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan. Paul is also a regular broadcaster on radio and TV networks worldwide, averaging at least 150 interviews a year for more than thirty years.
