About
Delf Rothe is a critical security scholar whose work interrogates the intersections of environment, technology, and security in the Anthropocene. His research primarily explores how emerging technologies and scientific knowledge reshape security practices, particularly in relation to environmental change and non-human actors. Rothe’s most-cited paper, “Jellyfish encounters: science, technology and security in the Anthropocene ocean” (2020, 21 citations), exemplifies his innovative approach by examining jellyfish blooms as a lens to understand the complex entanglements of knowledge production, technological intervention, and security governance in marine environments. This work pushes the boundaries of International Relations and Critical Security Studies by moving analysis into unconventional spaces—the ocean—and challenging anthropocentric frameworks. Rothe’s contributions are notable for their theoretical sophistication and empirical creativity, offering fresh perspectives on how security is enacted through scientific and technological practices. His scholarship has been influential in shaping debates on environmental security, posthumanism, and the politics of knowledge, making him a distinctive voice in contemporary security studies.
