Professor Doug Stokes will present his latest research on UK and US grand strategy at the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office in April 2013.

The subject of the symposium is on America's 'Asia pivot' and Sino-US rivalries in terms of soft power projection, economic competition, identity and security matters.

Professor Stokes specialises in US foreign policy, international security and transatlantic grand strategy. He has published a number of books, journal articles and book chapters in these areas and was the principal investigator for a British Academy large grant that culminated in my most recent co-authored monograph, Global Energy Security and American Hegemony, published with Johns Hopkins University Press in 2010. His most recent co-edited volume was US Foreign Policy; published by Oxford University Press. The second edition came out in 2012.

Professor Stokes is the Director of Exeter’s Centre for Advanced International Studies (CAIS).
