Conflict and International Security
Research within the Department of European Studies and Modern
Languages is grouped into a number of research 'clusters'. Adrian
Hyde-Price is part of the 'Conflict and Security' cluster, which
has a number of distinctive themes, and which is multi-disciplinary
in character. Hyde-Price's contemporary research is focused on
International Security issues, and he has written extensively
on European security issues over the last fifteen years, dealing
in particular with NATO and the EU; transatlantic relations;
the OSCE; German foreign and security policy;
Russia; and East Central Europe.
His contemporary research focuses on four main topics:
1. Europe and the Middle East
2. The EU as an International Security Actor
3. Coercive Diplomacy
4. Realist International Theory, Ethics and International
Politics
1. Europe and the Middle East
'Building
a Just and Durable Peace by Piece': An
EU Framework 7 Research Project
Professor Hyde-Price is part of an EU Framework Programme 7
research project on 'Building a Just and Durable Peace by Piece'
(JAD-PbP) that brings together
a consortium of scholars from the UK, Sweden, Jordan and Israel.
Its aim is to consolidate and advance knowledge on factors that
trigger conflicts or facilitate the emergence of a just and
durable peace.
The project will explore the factors and strategies that are
conducive to the emergence of a just and durable peace by emphasising
the continuities rather than the discontinuities between conflict
and peace. The case-studies will be focused on the Middle East
and the Western Balkans.
Professor Hyde-Price's research will focus on Europe and the
Middle East, including the Middle East Peace Process, Iran's
uranium enrichment programme and European responses to regional
conflicts (including the 2006 Second Lebanon War and the December
2008-January 2009 Israel-Hamas conflict.

2. The EU as an International Security Actor
This research examines the EU's foreign, security and defence
policies. Professor Hyde-Price has published articles developing
a realist critique of the concept of 'normative power Europe'
and on the notion that the EU is an 'ethical power'.
Professor Hyde-Price is also active within the Global Europe
Forum, coordinated by Professor Richard Whitman, which brings
together research staff in the Department of European Studies
and Modern Languages working on Europe's interaction with the
wider international system.

3. Coercive Diplomacy
Within the Conflict and Security research cluster, much of
Professor Hyde-Price's recent work has focused on coercive diplomacy.
This involves the use of threats of military force, or the limited
use of military force, to compel an actor to change its behaviour.
He has been working on the theory and practice of coercive diplomacy
for some years now, but his current research focuses on the
European and American responses to the Iranian uranium enrichment
programme.

4. Realist International Theory, Ethics and
International Politics
Professor Hyde-Price has sought to develop Realist International
Theory and apply it to contemporary international security problems.
As part of this endeavour, he has also explored the ethical
dimensions of international politics, in particular those pertaining
to the use of military force (including Just War theory and
Liberal-democracies and the use of force).
