PhD student in International Relations
Daniel is a PhD student in the School of International Relations at St Andrews. His project focuses on the environmental governance of the Amazon region and how effective the partnership of international organisations and local government is in protecting and preserving the Amazon ecosystem. The project is influenced by the Foucauldian theory of governmentality and additionally by the theory of polycentric governance.

He has a BA in History and Politics from the University of Kent and an MA in International Relations from the Brussels School of International Studies in Brussels, Belgium.
