Dr Muhanad Seloom

Muhanad Seloom is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Exeter and a Senior non-resident Fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs and the Gulf International Forum. An international security scholar, he studies how states identify, categorise, and respond to threats. His research has developed across two connected tracks: an early body of work on armed non-state actors and the government policies designed to counter them, and a current focus on intelligence and national security, the institutions through which states understand threats and act on them.
