Personnel
Charles Gurdon, managing director of Menas Associates, has spent over ten years as a senior
researcher on a number of international boundary disputes in which Menas has
been
engaged. He has also undertaken and managed multi-disciplinary research teams
working on archival, cartographic, geographical and historical studies in most
of
the European and Ottoman archives.
Richard Schofield, senior adviser with Menas Borders, is a political geographer specialising in
boundary questions with a particular focus on the Middle East. He has written
extensively for both academic and lay readerships on related matters, has

International Court of Justice. Richard has been convening a master's programme

supervised extensive doctoral research into the geopolitics of the developing
world, and
