I am a Ph.D. candidate in political science at the University of North Texas. I received a BA from Dokkyo University and an MA from Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan. My main research interests lie at the intersection between international relations and comparative politics, such as how decolonization and shifts in international structures affect the outbreak and resolution of interstate/civil conflicts and the evolution of interstate rivalry.
