Professor Shaun Gregory is Director of the Pakistan Security Research Unit [PSRU] which was established in the Department of Peace Studies in March 2007. He was formerly the Head of the Department of Peace Studies from 2002-2007 and in 2006 he was Visiting Professor at the Institut d¿Etudes Politiques at Sciences-Po in Paris. Shaun has also held Visiting Fellowships at the Australian National University [1991], at the Institut de Relations International et Strategiques in Paris [1997], at the International Strategic Studies Institute in Islamabad [2000] and at the Institute for Defense Studies and Analysis in New Delhi [2001]. He was also Visiting Associate at the Institut Francais des Relations Internationales in Paris [1998].

Shaun's research has focussed on South Asia since 1999 with a particular emphasis first on nuclear issues and later on international terrorism, internal security, and defence issues. In the last few years Shaun has centred his research on Pakistan and he set up the PSRU in March 2007 to focus specifically on the nexus between nuclear weapons, extremism and terrorism, and the stability and cohesion of the state in Pakistan.

Shaun is widely consulted about Pakistan by the media, by government and government agencies, by the military, and by law enforcement organisations, within and outside the UK. He writes periodically for Open Democracy, for Oxford Analytica, and, through the PSRU, provides a range of related consultancy services.

He also has a research interest in the implications of the security situation in Pakistan for the security and community cohesion of the UK and in respect of these issues has worked with inter-faith groups, local authorities, police forces, and NGOs in the UK.

Shaun has also continued his interest in French defence and security issues, with a particular emphasis recently on the French experience of Islamic terrorism and the French role in the war on terrorism. Shaun also publishes work about South Asian security issues in French.

      French Defence Policy into the Twenty-First Century.At the beginning of the twenty-first century France seems newly assertive and relevant in the military sphere. At the same time there are tensions within, and powerful constraints acting upon, French defence. This book explores these issues and assesses the future trajectory of French defence policy both within and without Europe. It argues that France must construct a post-Gaulist defence policy based on a more realistic relationship with the United States within NATO.
