Professor Bilgiç focused on the relations between migration and the ‘human security approach’ to understand migration more comprehensively as a social, political and economic process and to identify and respond to associated policy challenges and dilemmas. He worked closely with other academics of ISS/Erasmus University and other universities in the Netherlands, who work in the area of migration, mobility and human security.
Ali Bilgiç has a Ph.D. from Aberystwyth University and is now a reader (associate professor) in international relations and security at Loughborough University in the UK. He is from Turkey.
His research areas include critical security studies, migration, European Union foreign policy and external relations as well as Middle East and North African politics.
