Biography

Aaron Donaghy

Aaron Donaghy is an EU Marie Curie Global Fellow at Harvard University. Previously, he held visiting fellowships at Cornell University, New York, and the University of Cambridge. He also held a Government of Ireland postdoctoral fellowship at University College Dublin, where he received his Ph.D. and taught modern history. Donaghy’s research interests include British foreign policy, U.S. foreign relations, and the history of international relations. He is the author of The British Government and the Falkland Islands, 1974-79 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014).

Donaghy’s research as a CES Visiting Scholar will examine American and British foreign relations during the late Cold War era. The project focuses on the ‘intermestic’ dimension of policy, and how domestic variables shape external policymaking, from legislative institutions and special interest groups, to electoral strategizing and party politics.
