Dr Joel Hayward, ZDaF, BA, MA Hons, PhD
Dr Joel Hayward is a New Zealand scholar and author who has lived and lectured in the United Kingdom since 2004. He heads the King's College London air power studies division based at the Royal Air Force College, of which he was appointed Dean in 2007. He is also one of the three Directors of the new Royal Air Force Centre for Air Power Studies.
His own teaching focus is nowadays on Just War and the ethics of air power. A traditional social democrat by inclination, he supports the causes of democracy and peace and has resolved to play his part in the war against terror.
Dr. Hayward holds a B.A., an M.A. Hons. and a Ph.D. (military history) from the University of Canterbury. He has had fellowships from the German government and is a Research Associate of the United States Air Force.
In November 1998 the Mayor of his city, Palmerston North, presented Dr Hayward's book on Stalingrad as the city’s official gift to His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, during the latter’s royal tour of New Zealand.
Until June 2002 Dr Hayward was a Senior Lecturer in Defence and Strategic Studies at Massey University. From 1997 to 2004 he lectured at the New Zealand Army’s Officer Cadet School and the Air Force’s Command and Staff College and also taught strategic thought for several years at the Royal New Zealand Naval College.
Dr. Hayward’s books include a widely praised and much quoted account of the Stalingrad airlift, a volume on jointness and the New Zealand Defence Force, and a co-authored book on New Zealand officers and their experiences of command.
Another recent book, published by the United States Navy in May 2003, is his thematic analysis of Lord Nelson's war-fighting style.
Dr Hayward's work-in-progress, A “Bomb and Pray” War: Explaining Yugoslavia’s Stubborn Resistance to NATO Coercion, 1999, is behind schedule but should appear in bookstores before long. It is a conflict-specific analysis of the military concepts known as Coercion, Deterrence and the Effects Based Approach.
His articles have appeared in many of the world's leading international defence journals and magazines. He has also contributed to specialist military encyclopaedias, and has even had much poetry and fiction published, including a book of short stories and a book of poetry.
In May 2007 three of Dr Hayward's earlier articles on German strategy and operational art were considered sufficiently meritorious to be republished by eminent English historian Professor Jeremy Black in a volume of "seminal articles" on the Second World War.
Dr Hayward is a member of the CAS Air Power Workshop, a small working group of scholars and other theorists convened by the Chief of Air Staff (the head of the Royal Air Force).
Dr. Hayward's works have been translated into German, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish and Serbian.
