Iain King

[1] King was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2013 Birthday Honours, for services to governance in Libya, Afghanistan and Kosovo.

[2][3] He is a Scholar at the Modern War Institute, United States Military Academy at West Point,[4] and a former Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies,[5] and at Cambridge University.

His 2008 book, How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time: Solving the Riddle of Right and Wrong, starts with a history of moral philosophy and then develops a hybrid methodology for ethical decision-making.

[10] King's approach has been described as quasi-utilitarian,[11][12] and credited with reconciling competing systems of ethics.

[18] King has been featured as a foreign policy analyst on CNN and BBC,[5] and has written for multiple outlets, many of them based in the US, including NBC,[19] Defense One,[20] Prospect,[6] and National Interest.
