Paul Sanders (born 23 September 1967) is a British academic, focusing on Contemporary history and Leadership studies. He is a full-time professor in the Department of Strategy at NEOMA Business School, Reims, France. His teaching interests lie in the areas of leadership, ethics and international relations, and he is a media commentator on Russian and European affairs.[1]
In his thematic history The British Channel Islands under German Occupation 1940–1945 (2005) Sanders provided a game-changing account of the experience, delving into novel aspects such as the economics and ethics of life under occupation.[2] This publication followed upon a previous work on the occupation of Jersey, tilted The Ultimate Sacrifice (1998).[3] This book's findings were cited in the decision to recognize Channel Islanders Louisa Gould, Harold Le Druillenec and Ivy Forster with posthumous 'British Heroes of the Holocaust' awards, in 2010.[4] In 2023-24 Sanders was chair and report compiler of the Lord Pickles Alderney Expert Review.[5]
Additional monographs by Sanders include a full history of the black market in Nazi-occupied France (2001 Histoire du marché noir: 1940–1946) and 2014 Protest, Defiance and Resistance in the Channel Islands: German Occupation, 1940–45, which was co-written with two other authors.[6][7]
His recent research focus has shifted to History and Leadership studies, on which he published five articles in the academic journal Leadership (SAGE).[8]
