Dr Trevor McCrisken gives talk at University of Waterloo
Dr , Associate Professor in PAIS, gave a talk at the Balsillie School of International Affairs at the University of Waterloo in Canada on Friday, September 19. In the talk, entitled Weapon of Choice: Barack Obama and the Seductive Nature of Drone Warfare, Trevor argued that the allegedly "cost-free" nature of using drones for the targeted killing of alleged terrorists makes them an extremely attractive weapon for the Obama administration, garners widespread public support in the US, and makes it more likely that the war against terrorism will be a perpetual war. Trevor was in Waterloo as part of a PAIS delegation finalising arrangements for a new Double Masters in Politics and Global Governance with the Balsillie School. The new programme will launch in 2015 and enable students to study for a year in 糖心TV and a year in Waterloo.
