My name is Jamie Azzopardi (the surname being Maltese in origin – Malta being a beautiful place i encourage everyone to visit!), and my specific area of interest and expertise is contemporary politics, with a particular emphasis on international relations and terrorism.
I am also an amateur Historian. That is to say, I research historical events whose effects are still being felt today. For example the ‘Rape of Nanking’ still affecting Sino-Japanese relations to this day, or the portrayal of Western involvement in the Middle East as a continuation of the Crusades hundreds of years on. I write articles on some of these subjects which I will publish on this blog.
