My primary research interests revolve around critical IR and security studies, global and regional governance, international security and Russian foreign policy. I am currently engaged in a number of collaborative projects, such as ‘Cooperation and Competition: the politics of inter-organizational relations in international security,’ and an SNF-funded project, carried out with ETH Zurich, SWP, Berlin and University of Geneva, entitled: ‘Which region? The politics of the UN Security Council P5 in international security crises.’

I am also one of the editors of the Russian Analytical Digest (RAD), a bi-weekly analytical publication covering political, foreign policy, economic and social developments in Russia.
