Dr Emil Archambault is an Addison Wheeler Research Fellow in Government and International Affairs at Durham University’s School of Government & International Affairs and an affiliate of the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS). Since January 2024 he has been investigating the political dynamics of remoteness and war, focusing on democratic contestation around military drones and infrastructure. Education BA (Hons) Western Society & Culture (Political Science), Concordia University, 2010–2014 MPhil International Political Theory, University of St Andrews, 2014–2016 PhD Government and International Affairs, Durham University, 2017–2021 Research Interests Dr Archambault’s work is positioned at the intersection of International Security and International Political Theory. His current projects examine how liberal democracies justify and contest remote forms of violence—especially drone warfare—while tracing how non-state actors innovate with similar technologies. Central themes include the temporal/spatial logic of remoteness, the political thought of Carl Schmitt, and the ethics of targeted killing. Publication Trends Across more than fifteen outputs from 2018-2025, his scholarship moves from conceptual genealogies of drone warfare to empirical studies of ISIS drone adoption and comparative analyses of right-wing extremist mimicry. Collectively, these works chart the diffusion of remote-war technologies among state and non-state actors and interrogate the normative frameworks that legitimise or constrain their use. Advising & Grants While no doctoral students are currently listed, his research has been supported by the Addison Wheeler Fellowship and previously by the MINDS-SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa.
