International Relations Theory
I explore how energy relations, critical infrastructure and cyberspace, alongside complex governance arrangements and hybrid threats, are reshaping patterns of power, security and cooperation across global and regional orders.
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 holistic traditions of education.
Combining geopolitical analysis, academic research and practical experience, this consulting practice supports organisations in navigating complex international environments, managing strategic risks and building resilient relationships across borders.
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.
