Bio
I am currently a PhD candidate student and FRS-FNRS Research Fellow. After obtaining a law degree from the Faculty of Aix-en-Provence (France) and a master’s degree in political science and international relations from the ULB in 2021, I began a thesis project that same year under the supervision of François Foret on French and Japanese diplomacy. My research focuses on how these two states promote their national identity and also aims to analyse the influence of culture on the development of their diplomacy.
