His working paper, entitled, “Agency in a Time of (Neo)liberal intervention?” is a component of a wider dissertation on the role of African political elites in the development of human security norms. Mares will present his work at the November meeting of the Conflict, Violence and Security working group in the Political Science Department at UMass-Amherst.
