He is Emeritus Professor of International Relations in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge and prior to that was the Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics. Hill is the author of many books in the areas of foreign policy analysis and general international relations, including most recently The National Interest in Question: Foreign Policy in Multicultural Societies (Oxford University Press, 2013) and International Relations and the European Union (edited with Michael Smith and Sophie Vanhoonacker, Oxford University Press, 2017).
