Background

Marianne Hanson’s research focuses on global security, international law and international institutions, with a specialisation in arms control and disarmament. She is currently researching the implementation of rules and norms for averting nuclear weapons’ possession and use, linking this to the foreign policies of the world’s major states, and their relevance to empirical cases such as in Iraq, North Korea and Iran. Numerous chapters and journal articles examine the impact that various diplomatic gatherings and independent commissions have had on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, resulting in a significant contribution to the international academic and policy-oriented literature on this debate. Much of Dr Hanson’s work in this area has been the result of interactions with Australian and international political practitioners, diplomatic groupings and UN officials, and has been widely circulated among these groupings. She has presented submissions to parliamentary bodies and also to the United Nations in New York. She is recognised as a national commentator on security issues and is frequently invited to provide media commentary on these topics. Her research impact is further enhanced by her appointment by the Foreign Minister to Australia’s National Consultative Committee on International Security Issues and her invited membership of AUS-CSCAP (Australian Member Branch, the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific).
