| Areas of expertise | My main research interests focus on the application of critical security studies to the analysis of human security and peacebuilding, and how these practices affect the relationships between local communities, civil society and the state. I am particularly interested in the examination of the roles of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in current security practices. My research has had a geographic focus on Southeast Asia, and Cambodia in particular. Future research projects will be examining the ways in which 'technical' development programs are entwined with broader security practices, and how military-led development programs affect local politics. |
