Research Topic
Over the last
decade, I have worked with European, American, Russian, and Japanese academic
institutions while advancing research activities in Washington DC, New York,
Geneva, Moscow, and Tokyo. Based on these transcontinental experiences, my
research focuses on global International Relations (IR) theory, peacebuilding,
and the role of non-Western powers (especially Japan, Russia, and China) in the
transformation of international orders. Through my professional networks in
Geneva, I have been actively involved in the delivery of executive education
programmes for UN officials and in policy consulting projects for governments
and international organizations.
