Politics and International Relations in Southeast Asia, Indo-Pacific Strategic Affairs, Non-Traditional Security, Democratization, Civil-Military Relations/Security Sector Reform

My current research focuses on two topics. The first is Politics in Southeast Asia, particularly concerning democratization, electoral politics, political violence, and security sector reform. The second is regional security cooperation, including Indo-Pacific strategic affairs, non-traditional security cooperation (terrorism, piracy, illicit drugs, human trafficking, and illegal fishing).

If you are interested in topics such as: the politics and international relations in Southeast Asia; Indo-Pacific strategic affairs, political violence and security-sector reform, I would love to work together.
