Biography

William Clapton is an Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales focusing on International Relations theory, particularly in areas such as sovereignty, risk, and international hierarchy. His PhD, awarded by Murdoch University in 2010, examined the liberal interventions conducted by Western societies in the post-Cold War era and their implications for international society. Clapton has published extensively on risk, international interventions, and hierarchy in various academic journals including Politics and the European Journal of International Security. He is the author of three monographs that discuss liberal interventionism, the Trump Administration's immigration policies, and the interplay between popular culture and global politics. His current research includes the impact of popular culture on political identity and the security logic behind immigration practices in the European Union and under the Trump administration. Clapton has received several awards for excellence in teaching and has been active in professional associations related to political studies and international relations.
