Sciences Po Lille is happy to welcome Professor Michael Sutton for a class on “EU as a global actor”.
Much of Michael Sutton’s early career was spent as an international economist in Brussels and London.

He has enjoyed a long association with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), part of The Economist newspaper group, specializing mainly in France.  

Prior to coming to Aston in 1995, he taught for four years at Boston University’s London Graduate Centre, where he was adjunct professor in international relations; he was also visiting professor in international relations at the Maria-Curie Skłodowska University, Lublin, Poland. His academic interests lie in two distinct broad fields: international relations within Europe and the history of political and religious thought.

At Aston he became Head of Politics and International Relations in 2002, a position from which he stepped down in 2009. The title of professor emeritus was conferred upon him in the same year.

Since 2009 he has been guest professor at Sciences Po Lille  and he has returned to teach anew in Lublin. He is a member of the LSS Advisory Panel.
