Background
Cambridge Security Programme (CSP) was an academic institution founded six months after the 11th September, 2001, in "response to the demands to find an answer to the compelling need for new ways to address the instability and uncertainties that characterise the current climate of insecurity." [1] While the institution ceased to operate in December 2007, its website remains accessible as an archive of its activities. [2]
CSP worked closely with academics within the University of Cambridge, integrating work from various faculties including history, anthropology, divinity, international law, and the social and political sciences. It promoted cross-institutional research and inquiry, combining work by younger scholars with more established academics and practitioners to develop pragmatic new approaches to the challenges at hand. CSP worked with the EU, NATO, military establishments in both the UK and US, and other universities worldwide.

More recently he has been working on civil-military relations in Latin America, the role of Christianity in the English School of International Relations, and representations of war and violence. As Director of the Centre of Latin American Studies in Cambridge he is developing a research project on security in the Caribbean, centring on Cuba. He is a regular visitor to Argentina and Venezuela. Dr. Jones has worked extensively on the past and contemporary international economic relations of Latin America, especially the Southern Cone. His current research is concentrated on Romantic representations of organized violence in the Americas.
