About Me

I am CNRS Research Fellow at the Center for International Studies (CERI) of Sciences Po, Paris, and the founding Director of the European Initiative for Security Studies (EISS)

My Academic Work

 
My research interests lie at the intersection of international relations, foreign policy analysis and security studies.

Specifically, my recent research projects have focused on the reconfiguration of American hegemony through the prism of the US-led regional alliance systems in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific since the end of World War II; European national defense policies; and European foreign and security policies in the face of a rising China in the post-Cold War period.

I am currently working on a long-term research project that aims to provide a deep history of war and diplomacy in the human species, from prehistory to the present, titled Janus Faced: War and Peace in the Human Species.
