Fred Halliday(1946-) is ICREA research professor at IBEI, the Barcelona Institute for International Studies. He was formerly professor of international relations at the London School of Economics. He comments on media including the BBC, ABC, al-Jazeera television, CBC and Irish radio.

Born in Ireland, he studied at Queen's College, Oxford University and the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. He has been a fellow of the Transnational Institute and an editor of New Left Review.

Halliday writes that the West has not moved beyond Cold War thinking, [1] observing that Davos discussions do not properly address militant Islam and the rise of China. His review of Huntington's The End of Civilization and the Remaking of World Order was scathing.
