Jamie Woodbridge

International Security Information Service, Europe (ISIS EUROPE)

 

Jamie Woodbridge joined ISIS-Europe in November 2001 as a pre-doc researcher on the ESDP Democracy project after a brief spell as an MEP's assistant.

Jamie was born in 1978 and grew up in London. After graduating from the University of Manchester with a BA in modern history and politics in 2000, he spent the following year travelling and spent three months in Strasbourg studying French as a participant on the EU funded Leonardo da Vinci project. Returning to London in June 2001, Jamie subsequently made the decision to relocate to Brussels in August as the first step towards a career involved in EU affairs.

He is currently busy with writing articles for the ISIS-Europe publication, the European Security Review, with the present focus being on the development of the EU's new civilian crises management structures. Jamie is also involved in editing a number of briefing papers which shall be published in the new year.

Jamie has a 1-year contract at ISIS-Europe and apart from his involvement in producing and editing articles for the European Security Review and ISIS-Europe briefing papers, he will organise and take part in a variety of events and meetings throughout the year.

Although he has only just started out on his career path he does intend to continue his formal education by undertaking a post graduate course in the near future though he is not decided yet between a MA degree or a full PhD. His main areas of interest are the changes in the post September 11 security and foreign policy relationship between the EU and Russia and the impact of this on the wider region and NATO; the stabilisation process in South East Europe, in particular the challenges posed by Macedonia; and the constitutional and institutional ramifications of an enlarged EU.
