Political Scientist · Malaysia & Southeast Asia
I am a political scientist specialising in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Combining comparative politics with long-term ethnographic fieldwork, I have worked for more than twenty years on political elites and strongmen, political Islam, organised crime and political violence. Alongside my research, I have advised political leaders, international organisations and law firms, and I prepare expert reports for legal proceedings.
I am an Associate Researcher at the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS) and the Collège de France.
