Profile
Dr David J. Galbreath joined the Department in September 2010. Before coming to Bath, he was lecturer and senior lecturer at the University of Aberdeen in the Department of Politics and International Relations.
Dr Galbreath is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the School of Social Science at the University of Aberdeen and a non-resident Senior Research Associate at the European Centre for Minority Issues in Flensburg, Germany. He has worked with the US State Department, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the UK House of Commons Defence Select Committee. He is the Editor-in-Chief of European Security.
Research Interests
He has two research areas. The first focuses on the protection and empowerment of minority rights as a source of security and democratic justice. He has just completed a Leverhulme Trust project entitled, 'The European Minority Rights Regime: Interests, Power and Knowledge' with a resulting research monograph in the Palgrave European Union Politics series in 2011.
His second research stream focuses on European security in a broad context from peacekeeping and inter-organisational cooperation to member-state responses to new regional challenges.
