"Atlantic Geopolitics: The Mechanisms of Intra- and Inter-Imperial Negotiations During Conflict Situations"
Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Stefan Rinke (FU Berlin)
Current research project:
The purpose is to investigate how actors within and across governmental and administrative structures and imperial frameworks managed to influence negotiation processes during conflict situations by using imperial aspects and advocating cooperation and de-escalation, on the one hand, or conflict and escalation, on the other hand. Hence, the investigation is about revealing connections, influences and interdependencies of those actors and how these processes led to a reconfiguration of spaces of negotiation. Thus, my research aims at taking up ongoing fruitful investigations and proven methodologies of global and imperial history, history of diplomacy and further interdisciplinary fields such as international relations, peace and conflict studies and political sociology. Among these methodologies are the social network analysis and the concept of entanglements as well as new and unconventional approaches and frameworks.
Areas of research and interest:
Early Modern Period, imperial history, social history of education, Atlantic entanglements
PhD thesis: The Spanish-American Jesuit University as a Social Hub in the 17th and 18th centuries; magna cum laude
Master’s thesis: Political Decision-Making Patterns During the Anglo-Spanish Rivalry of the Elizabethan Age; A-grade
