Overview

John Drennan is affiliated with the University of Queensland in Australia and focuses on interdisciplinary research primarily within the social sciences. Their scholarly work spans across several fields, including economics, engineering, and political science, with particular attention to international relations and policy studies.

Their research covers a range of topics that intersect military and defense studies, technology management, and regional geopolitical issues. Key areas of work include:

  • Defense, Military, and Policy Studies
  • Military and Defense Studies
  • Nuclear Issues and Defense
  • Island Studies and Pacific Affairs
  • Arctic and Russian Policy Studies
  • Technology Assessment and Management

Drennan's publications include a collection of books published through RAND Corporation eBooks, focusing on strategic competition, military roles, and geopolitical conflict analysis. Notable titles include:

  • Understanding Influence in the Strategic Competition with China (2021)
  • Gaining the Edge: Identifying and Leveraging Frameworks for Enabling Army Contributions to Competition (2023)
  • Mischief, Malevolence, or Indifference? How Competitors and Adversaries Could Exploit Climate-Related Conflict in the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility (2023)
  • The Backbone of U.S. Joint Operations: Army Roles in the Indo-Pacific (2023)
  • Insights from the Plan Blue 21 Game: Examining the Role of Sensing and Partner and Allied Contributions to Competition with Russia in the Arctic (2023)

Their academic collaboration network includes frequent co-authors such as Michelle Grisé, Michael J. Mazarr, Emily Ellinger, Molly Dunigan, and Sandra Kay Evans, reflecting sustained interdisciplinary and policy-focused research partnerships.

Drennan's expertise extends through various social science domains with subfield concentrations in political science and international relations, economics and econometrics, demography, sociology, and risk analysis. This diversity informs a comprehensive approach to studying global defense policies and the strategic modalities of contemporary military competition.
