Career
Dr. Ahmed is the recipient of an M.A. in Contemporary War & Peace Studies and a D.Phil in International Relations from the School of Global Studies at Sussex University. His doctoral thesis investigated the radicalization processes and dynamics of violent conflict, including mass violence and genocide, in the context of modern imperial social systems – particularly the European Atlantic empires and US-UK counterinsurgency warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has also published widely on international terrorism and the ‘War on Terror’, focusing on the material infrastructure of Islamist terrorist networks, and the energy geopolitics of US and Western foreign policy strategies. His current research focuses on the radicalization of violent conflicts in strategic regions in the context of systemic ecological, economic and energy crises rooted in the structure of the global political economy, exemplified in his latest monograph, A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: and How to Save It (Pluto, Macmillan, 2010).
