Research interests

My research focuses upon the development and evolution of the G7 and G20 Summits and their relationship with the maintenance of international order. I am primarily using an English School theoretical framework in which I unpack the relationship between the G-Summits and the evolving concept of International Society.

I have a background in International Relations, specifically International Relations Theory, as well as Security Studies. I also have a Masters degree in European Governance and a research background in the evolving diplomatic and foreign policy relationship between the EU and Russia.

My work as Editor of Global Policy: Next Generation is focused upon providing opportunities and access, as well as editorial mentorship, to ECRs in order to facilitate the publication of ground breaking research on-par with the most rigorous of academic journals. The GPNG team and I have now successfully published two editions of GPNG and the third will be published in Spring 2022. View the research articles and policy insights from the first two editions.
