From 2000 until 2006 he was editor of Jane's Intelligence Digest. He particularly reports on geopolitical, global security, and terrorism issues in the Balkans, Russia, Central Europe, and the Middle East. He is a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute and the Royal Institution. He is an Honorary Research Associate in Durham University's Department of Anthropology. From 1995-1997 he was the associate editor of Metal Bulletin and chaired the International Aluminium Conferences in 1995 and 1996.
