Maastricht University M.A. European Politics and International Relations, March 2015
My thesis critiques the Western post-Cold War consensus that the spread of democracy will pacify potentially belligerent states. I produced a reliable probabilistic model of interstate conflict under unipolarity, which I used to predict long-term security outcomes of the Arab Spring and inform U.S. grand strategy in the Greater Middle East.
