Biography

Dr Marc Schelhase is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Defence Studies Department, King’s College London at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, UK Defence Academy, where he established the highly successful MSc in Defence Innovation.

Dr Schelhase’s background is in political economy. He has recently published his second book, The Political Economy of Risk in Finance and the Military (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023). The book explores risk through the societal, organisational and personal dimensions to reveal often conflicting and shifting understandings of risk. It demonstrates the challenges, dilemmas and - in many ways - also the impossibilities of risk analysis and risk management. His first book, Globalization, Regionalization and Business: Conflict, Convergence and Influence, investigates the role played by organised business interests in processes of regionalisation and globalisation in the Americas.
