Aleksa Andrejevic is a PhD candidate in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, supervised by Dr Michael Rowe and Professor Andrew Lambert. His doctoral thesis, The Anglo-Mediterranean Order: British Governance, Imperial Imagination, and Liberal Empire in Corsica, Malta, Sicily, and the Ionian Islands, 1794–1836, examines how Britain’s governance of the Mediterranean shaped the development of imperial strategy, governance, and political thought during the formative years of the Second British Empire. Through a comparative study of Corsica, Malta, Sicily, and the Ionian Islands, his research explores the relationship between geopolitics, classical liberalism, and the imperial imagination, arguing that the Mediterranean served as a laboratory in which competing models of British imperial governance were developed and tested.

His broader research interests include British imperial history, maritime strategy, the history of political thought, Mediterranean history, and the intellectual foundations of empire. Alongside his doctoral research, he previously served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant on the King’s College London undergraduate module, The Long View: Understanding International Relations Through History, an applied history course that examines how historical events and geopolitical developments continue to shape contemporary international relations and strategic thinking.

Aleksa has presented his research at conferences and academic events hosted by the Centre for Geopolitics at the University of Cambridge, King’s College London, Lancaster University, and the Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War. His work has also been published in Epoch Magazine, where he has written on British imperial history and political legitimacy.
