Career

Lobo-Guerrero has worked mainly in the field of International Relations with a specific interest in post-structuralist thought,^[2] history of early modern science, historical epistemology, and geopolitics.^[3] He has worked on the politics of international security focussing on the role of insurance as a technology for governing uncertainty.^[4][5][6] He has been a key proponent of the idea of biopolitics of security as an approach that features life as the referent object of security analysis.^[7][8] Currently, he works on the ideas and practices that made it possible to think about the global in the 16th century, and in so doing, explores how globality can be understood as a connectivity effect.^[9]
