I am currently the Assistant Dean responsible for the research and postgraduate
programs at the Centre d'Etudes Franco-Americain de Management (CEFAM) and an
Adjunct Lecturer at the University of South Australia. 

I received my PhD from the University of South Australia in 2010 for research that
developed a complex theory of international politics as an alternative to existing
realist approaches. Prior to my doctoral work I completed a BA degree in international
studies and a BA(Honours) degree under David Lundberg of the School of International
Studies of the University of South Australia. 

While maintaining a primary interest in international relations theory, I have also
researched and published on web 2.0 politics and internet electioneering in Australia, on
counter-terrorism in France, on youth lobby groups in Slovenia and on power politics in
the Asia-Pacific. 

I have developed and currently teach the courses ‘Dimensions of Diversity’ (sociology,
public affairs), ‘Issues in International Politics’ (international politics) and ‘France,
Europe and the 21st Century World’ (international politics, globalisation studies) to
students at CEFAM and the Ecole de Commerce Européene (ECE) in Lyon, France. 

I own and manage a political consultancy, StratPol, I am a member of the French think
tank Fondation Concorde and I advise the Macedonian think tank Analytica as part of their
Rapid Reaction team.
