Research Interests
I am mainly interested in linkages between non-state actors empowered by greater access to information and agents of change at the official level. My current research explores changing notion of the diplomat as an international actor, and how this is illustrated in contemporary political communication between states and non-state actors ranging from organizations to individuals.
