Research Fields My original discipline is international relations. I have conducted research on the integration and fragmentation of nations, the dynamics of armed conflicts, and the development of region-based international relations. In recent years, I have visited arid areas in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Mongol with an interest in the situation of nomadic people facing the changes of land tenure system and uncertainty of environmental changes. In terms of methodology, my research style involves the proactive use of the calculator, such as agent-based simulation and analysis of satellite images and geo-spatial data.
