James Foley is a Senior Lecturer in Politics at Glasgow Caledonian University, United Kingdom. His research focuses on Scottish politics, social movements, and the political implications of global crises including the pandemic and geopolitical conflicts.
Dr. Foley's research interests span several key areas in contemporary political science:
- Scottish independence and national identity
- Impact of Brexit on Scottish politics
- Social movement activism, particularly during the pandemic
- Pandemic governance and its effects on inequality
- The relationship between resource politics and national imagining
- Decolonization perspectives in international relations
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of Scottish politics with global challenges. Foley frequently collaborates with researchers like E. Kerr on Scottish pandemic responses and social movements, and with V. Unkovski-Korica on decolonization perspectives in international relations. His work shows a consistent pattern of examining how local political contexts interact with global crises, particularly evident in his analysis of Scotland's response to the pandemic and the theoretical implications of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Dr. Foley has secured significant research funding including:
- As Principal Investigator for "Endure: Inequalities, Vulnerabilities and Community Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World" (2022-2025), examining pandemic impacts across multiple dimensions
- As Co-Investigator for "De-Radicalise: Detect, REsolve and Re-Integrate" funded by the European Commission (2020-2023)
He maintains an active research profile with 14 documented research outputs and has supervised at least one student as indicated by his institutional profile.
