Career

In 1981, Kaldor was a member of the anti-nuclear

Hertie School of Governance, and is on the Editorial Board of Stability: International Journal of Security and Development
.

In 1999 Kaldor supported international military intervention over Kosovo on humanitarian grounds, calling for NATO ground forces to follow aerial bombardment in an article for The Guardian.[8] However, Kaldor had lost faith in humanitarian intervention by 2009, telling the same paper: "The international community makes a terrible mess wherever it goes":

It is hard to find a single example of humanitarian intervention during the 1990s that can be unequivocally declared a success. Especially after Kosovo, the debate about whether human rights can be enforced through military means is ever more intense. Moreover, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which have been justified in humanitarian terms, have further called into question the case for intervention.[9]

These views were repeated in her 2013 book Human Security.[10]

Family

She is the daughter of the economist

philosophy, politics and economics (PPE) from Oxford University.[7] In 2008, she married Julian Perry Robinson, a chemist and lawyer, who died 22 April 2020. The couple first met while both were working at Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and joined the University of Sussex in 1971. They had two sons.[12]
