Research Statement

 

My research interest focuses on the use of mixed methods approaches to study the intersections between politics, law, and development. I am broadly interested in Global Governance and currently working on the impacts of corruption on different aspects of development, with an emphasises on sexual corruption. I am equally interested in the politics of international organisations and international development, as well as the development of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Additionally, I make use of quantitative, qualitative, and geospatial analysis in my studies, either as a mixed methods study or independently.
