My research interest can be divided into three parts rooted in the study of geopolitics. The first is the study of the territoriality and overall behaviour of the violent non-state actors. The second is the study of outer space that is hidden under the field of astropolitics and space security. The third field includes the neomedieval analysis of the global order. I am primarily invested in processes in Africa and the Middle East.
