International Relations Theory
My research examines how power, security and political order are shaped by the interaction of energy relations, critical infrastructure, cyberspace and complex systems of global and regional governance.
Teaching is my passion. I particularly enjoy developing syllabuses and designing modules that cultivate critical thinking, analytical rigour, and intellectual curiosity in students. In an era when artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping pedagogical practice, I am committed to fostering deep conceptual understanding grounded in the Socratic method (Elenchus).
Operating across two complementary strands: geopolitical risk and strategic foresight, and international partnerships and strategic engagement. Drawing on academic research and practical expertise, it supports informed decision-making and resilient cross-border cooperation.
Teach IR is my pro-bono initiative dedicated to strengthening the teaching of International Relations through the exchange of pedagogical practice, ideas and experience. Through interviews and conversations with educators, it creates a space for sharing teaching approaches, discussing what works in the classroom, and connecting educators across institutions and countries.
The IR thinker podcast features in-depth interviews with leading experts on international relations. Since its first episode in 2023, it has produced more than 120 episodes as a pro-bono initiative.
The IR thinker podcast is currently being renewed and developed in preparation for the publication of my forthcoming book.
