Biography
I am a sixth year doctoral student, specializing in the history of international politics during the Cold War. I graduated from Sciences Po (Paris Institute of Political Studies) in 2018 and obtained an M.A. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies at the University of Texas of Austin in 2020.
My dissertation, “The Global Concert. France and the International Order, 1974-1985,” analyzes French efforts to shape the international politics of the 1970s and early 1980s, a period marked by an acceleration of globalization and the erosion of the Cold War order.
