Nick Brooke

Dr Nick Brooke is a Lecturer and Researcher at the School of International Relations, University of St Andrews. His work focuses on terrorism studies, nationalism, and counterterrorism policies. He supervises PhD candidates Katelyn Nutley and Simon Schwesig. His research examines the intersection of political violence, state responses to extremism, and the cultural dimensions of security.

Brooke's key research interests include the root causes of terrorism, public perceptions of extremism, and the application of historical precedents to modern security challenges. His 2023 study on Scotland's Prevent Duty explores how governmental policies intersect with British identity, while his 2020 analysis of museum vulnerability highlights non-traditional targets for terrorism.

His publications span book chapters, peer-reviewed articles, and commissioned reports for the Scottish Government. Notable works include *Terrorism and Nationalism in the United Kingdom* (2018) and contributions to *Contemporary Terrorism Studies* (2022). Though no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his work demonstrates significant scholarly impact in counterterrorism discourse.

Brooke's research extends to nationalist movements in Scotland and Wales, analyzing failed terrorist strategies and state responses. He has also explored digital dimensions of extremism, such as the Taliban's online presence. No lab affiliations or grant details were found in the provided texts.
