I welcome inquiries for interviews and comments on issues of international affairs, especially concerning: maritime security, naval operations, maritime piracy, shipping accidents and oil spills, critical maritime infrastructure (subsea data cables, windfarms, energy islands). I have rich expertise in the geopolitical and security dynamics in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific. Please contact me by email (christian.bueger@ifs.ku.dk) or LinkedIn.

My research is frequently featured in the international news, including tv (i.e. Al Jazeera, BBC, Deutsche Welle TV, EuroNews TV) and print (i.e. Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel). I regularly write commentaries on current affairs, including for The Conversation, The Diplomat or EU Observer (see here). A full list of media appearances is below.
