About
AC badge
My research focuses on security issues in the Baltic and the Barents sea regions. It includes Arctic security policy of the Arctic Council’s member and observer states, security of indigenous peoples in the Arctic and Baltic-Russian, as well as Baltic-Nordic relations. I earned a PhD in International Relations from King’s College London and hold MA degrees in International Law and International Peace and Security. I was also a postdoctoral international relations and security fellow at the Finnish Institute for International Affairs and the German Institute for International and Security Affairs/Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP).
