Short presentation
My current scholarly focus runs alongside two separate but inter-twined areas:
1. I work as researcher 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 also the convener of the internship programme for BSSc and MSSc at DPCR.
