NEW ZEALAND Robert Griffith PATMAN
Associate Professor of International Relations
Department of Political Studies
University of Otago
Research Project:
The title of my proposed project is “The US, Globalization and the National
Security State”. The conventional wisdom after the suicidal terrorist attacks of
September 11 is that the world will never be the same again. But it is clear that a
new strategic era has actually been in place since the early 1990s. What happened
on September 11 is that the "new wars" of this period finally caught up with and
directly impacted on the United States. This project will seek to explore whether
the Bush administration has really come to terms with a fundamentally new
security environment. In particular, is there a mismatch between President Bush’s
insistence on a distinctly American internationalism in the war on terror and the
transnational challenges created by the new conflicts?
Brief Biographical Details:

Political Studies at the University of Otago. He is also Programme Director of the
