About
My PhD thesis examined how Russian hegemony has fluctuated over time in the post-Soviet region. Drawing from the English School works of Adam Watson on international systems and Ian Clark on legitimacy, my study proposes that hegemony is characterised by regular and open-ended dialogue between states that remain independent enough to constantly negotiate the system through consent and dissent. The post-Soviet regional system is also one where the process of legitimacy determines the degree of centredness around Russia.
In addition to my thesis, I was a Teaching Fellow for the new school-wide LSE100 course 'Understanding the Causes of Things.' In the IR Department, I also taught 'International Security' and the Masters course 'Russia and Eurasia: Foreign and Security Policy.' I have also been involved in research projects on nanotechnology policy convergence and 19th century IR. I am currently working on a chapter for an edited book volume on authoritarianism in the post-Soviet region.
