  5. Hello everyone. Since I moved servers, time to reintroduce myself.

    I’m a research professor at #NUPI (that is the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs) doing research in #InternationalRelations More specifically I tend to focus on #diplomacy #foreignpolicy #HistoricalInternationalRelations #concepts #privateers #thesea #oceans. Which is perhaps just a way of saying that I do research on my many interests and whatever someone is willing to pay me to do research on. 1/2
