| Introduction | I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Dept of International Studies at American University of Sharjah. My research focuses on international security. It is divided into two main areas. First, I explore the functions that regional powers play in developing and managing order within their regions. I am currently working on a book that explores the Regional Powers and Security Framework (RPSF). The RPSF provides a systematic method to identify regional powers and analyze the nature of their influences. I am also particularly interested in the application of the RPSF to South Asia, the Middle East, and Central Eurasia. My second main area of research is human security. I am interested in how the process of globalization is altering the levels of attainment of human security throughout the world. My current work is focused on how international trade and the expansion of international communication facilitated by the information revolution is influencing the repressive behavior of states. |
