Thesis
Foreign policy and cleavage theory
My thesis examines whether party positions on foreign policy in Mexico and Colombia reflect domestic social cleavages rather than purely leader-driven choices.
Political Science · Public Policy · Internet Governance
I work on political analysis and public policy, with a growing interest in international governance.
I am a Political Science graduate based in Amsterdam, currently working in the Public Policy and Internet Governance department at RIPE NCC. My work and research focus on how domestic division, political structures and party politics shape decision making domestically and internationally, with a particular focus on Latin America. Using a mixed method approach, I study how demographic differences between individuals and communities at a local level get translated at a national level, and how this affects partys positioning on foreign policy.
I am especially interested in the point where domestic politics stops being domestic.
