Short presentation
A combined academic and policy experience on peace and conflict, democracy and autocracy. My research is two-tiered currently:
1. I work at Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament on sanctions and international compliance.
2. I examine the long-term impact of former combatants-turned politicians on democracy and institution-building in transitory societies.
I am the convener of the internship programme for BSSc and MSSc at DPCR.
