Short bio
|
From October 2006 onwards, Alexander has been working at the IES as a doctoral researcher in the domain of European security and defence. His research focuses on the motivations of European security policy and the interaction between strategic planning and operational implementation. Having studied in detail the issue of military intervention in Sub-Saharan Africa, special attention goes to analysing the usefulness of the military tool for stabilisation purposes.
Before embarking on his PhD, Alexander worked as an intern for both the International Peace Information Service and the Security & Defence Agenda. In 2005, Alexander earned with distinction an MA in Contemporary European Politics from the University of Bath (UK). In a more distant past, he studied English and Dutch literature and linguistics at the KU Brussel and the KU Leuven (summa cum laude). During this period, he developed a keen interest in the philosophy of language and the use of rhetoric – which often proved very useful for his work as a political scientist as well.
