My research focuses on EU Foreign and Security Policy, International Organisations (particularly, the EU, UN and NATO and to a lesser extent GCC and IMF) and their interaction in the field of global security, crisis management, diplomacy, peacekeeping/peacebuilding and global governance. I am currently Chair and Professor of Security Studies and Director of the Institute for Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) at Leiden University (Campus Den Haag), The Netherlands. In addition, I also serve on the board of the Global Governance Institute (GGI) in Brussels. My passion lies at the intersection of teaching, scholarly research and policy-oriented think tank advice as well as academic management and educational reform.
