My name is Philip Shetler-Jones. Over the last couple of decades I have alternated between attempts at scholarship (on East Asia, particularly Japan, international organisations and security), and professional work in the military, in a humanitarian NGO and in various international organizations (UN, EU, NATO, ASEAN), specializing in policy, planning and intelligence work with peacekeeping / crisis management operations. Recently I have started to re-balance back to concentrate on the connections between European and Asian Security policy.
I am currently living in Brussels and working as an independent consultant.
I would be delighted to hear from you if you have ideas about this blog or other things to discuss. I can be reached at philipshetlerjones@yahoo.com
Dear Philip,
I just discovered your site and realise we have a lot in common regarding a professional interest in asian security issues and somewhat overlapping professional background. And we both live in Brussels. I suggest we have a coffee, tea or whatever together to chat. I live in the Avenue Louise area and work mostly in the Schuman area. Have a look at the website of the European Institute for Asian Studies….www-eias.org and see some of things we do and I write about.
Hope to see you
David,
yes, let’s meet. I am in S.E. Asia for the next 10 days, but perhaps when I am back after 22 November?
