Personnel
Charles Gurdon, managing director of Menas Associates, has spent over ten years
as a senior researcher on a number of international boundary disputes in which
Menas has been engaged. He has also undertaken and managed multi-disciplinary
research teams working on archival, cartographic, geographical and historical
studies in most of the European and Ottoman archives.
Richard Schofield, senior adviser with Menas Borders, is a political geographer
specialising in boundary questions with a particular focus on the Middle East.
He has written extensively for both academic and lay readerships on related
matters, has advised governments on territorial issues, and has worked with
leading
international law firms involved in boundary disputes before arbitral
proceedings
and the International Court of Justice. Richard has been convening a master's
programme on international boundary studies since the mid 1990s, first at SOAS
and
now at King's College, London as the MA in Geopolitics, Territory and Security.
He has supervised extensive doctoral research into the geopolitics of the
developing world, and is also the founding editor of the Geopolitics journal.
