Welcome to my homepage. I am senior lecturer in international politics in the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary, University of London. I joined Queen Mary in September 2009 from the University of Oxford, where I was Rose Research Fellow in International Relations at Lady Margaret Hall. I specialise in the study of sovereignty, intervention and governance in developing countries, and in the international politics of Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific more broadly. My recent research focused on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and (non)intervention in the region. I have also published studies of international statebuilding in East Timor and democratisation and foreign policy. Most recently, I have begun new research on international economic sanctions and the governance of non-traditional security. Full details can be found via the research and publications links above. Journalists can also find details of my media expertise on the research page. Students and fellow teachers can also access information about my teaching, while the articles link provides a list of my non-scholarly articles, essays and reviews. You can also access my blog where I post occasional updates on my research and media activities, and reflections on political and economic developments. You can contact me by emailing l.c.jones[at]qmul.ac.uk. My office is ArtsOne 2.34. My office hours during term time are 11-12 on Mondays.
