Jason Ralph has been awarded some funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (UK) to pursue his research project: “Law, War and the State of American Exception.”

The central question driving the proposed research is whether the post-9/11 exception has now become the norm in US security policy and what this means for English School (ES) understandings of war as an institution of international society. Two articles and a book on the subject are forthcoming from Global Society, Review of International Studies, and Edinburgh University Press, respectively.
