SUPERVISING PAPERS

Over the years I have supervised hundreds of bachelor’s theses; as well as master theses and have been reviewer for Doctoral Thesis. The main topics have been international conflicts and security, specifically the issues related to North Korea, the Middle East conflict, NATO perspectives, but also Estonia’s (as a small border state of the European Union) relations with Russia. Many of my former students are currently working all over the world, in governments, international organizations; and two of them have been Estonian cabinet ministers.
