What are the ethical pitfalls of countering contemporary hybrid threats?<\/p>\n<p>This research cluster is situated at the intersection of various distinct research fields: International (and Global) Security, International Relations Theory, Critical Social Theory, Transitional Justice and Memory Studies. More specifically, the research focus is on these aspects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ontological security (security of being)<\/li>\n<li>Memory wars and memory laws in Europe<\/li>\n<li>Legitimacy and radical critique of contemporary security policies<\/li>\n<li>Critical geopolitics<\/li>\n<li>EU and NATO security governance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The research on the security-identity-memory nexus feeds into several graduate programmes on offer at the BSIS (e.g., MA in International Conflict and Security; MA in International Relations; MA in International Migration; LLM in Human Rights Law; LLM in International Law). Dr M\u00e4lksoo&#8217;s research on the thematic has been funded by HERA (as part of the &#8216;Memory at War&#8217;-project), Kone Foundation and the European Union Mobilitas post-doctoral fellowship. It has led to numerous publications and the organisation of various collaborative workshops and conferences, most recently a section of 9 panels on the politics of the past at the European International Studies Association&#8217;s Pan-European Conference in Prague, September 2018 (co-organised with Dr Karl Gustafsson, the Swedish Institute of International Affairs). Dr M\u00e4lksoo is an external partner to the international collaborative project on Memory Laws in European and Comparative Perspective (MELA) (http:\/\/melaproject.org\/).<\/p>\n<p>For further activities, see:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/verfassungsblog.de\/category\/debates\/memory-laws-debates\/<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/melaproject.org\/media\/videos\/dr-belavusau-and-dr-malksoo-panels-eurom-conference<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Russia and Ukraine: Memory Wars and Memory Laws | Dr Maria M\u00e4lksoo | Think Kent\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GTKeggjQgeI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/melaproject.org\/media\/videos\/dr-belavusau-and-dr-malksoo-panels-eurom-conference\">http:\/\/melaproject.org\/media\/videos\/dr-belavusau-and-dr-malksoo-panels-eurom-conference<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-66\" src=\"https:\/\/research.kent.ac.uk\/security-identity-memory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1928\/2018\/03\/323-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-69\" src=\"https:\/\/research.kent.ac.uk\/security-identity-memory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1928\/2018\/03\/IMG_20171124_211905602-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the relationship between security and identity?
