JP/日本語

​

I hold a PhD in International Conflict Analysis (2002, University of Kent) a MS in Conflict Analysis and Resolution (1996, Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University). 

​

I have conducted research in peace and conflict studies, especially focusing on the role of intermediaries such as the United Nations.
I have also served as a conflict resolution/peacebuilding practitioner in Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Aceh (Indonesia), Bangsamoro (Philippines), Afghanistan, and Okinawa (Japan).

​

My primary academic interest revolves around a field-based policy-oriented research for peace. I have applied my empirical experience gained as a reflective practitioner to my research. I have published both in English and Japanese on peacebuilding, security sector governance/reform, statebuilding, peace operations, civil-military coordination, etc. I have contributed to a series of discussion on ripeness in conflict resolution and hybridity in peacebuilding. 

 

I teach courses in peace communication, global conflict and peacebuilding as well as supervise MA and PhD students who are interested in peace, conflict, security, and peacebuilding.
