Maël van BEEK
Maël van Beek is a PhD candidate in Political Science (international relations and political methodology) at The Ohio State University. His research focuses on international bargaining and the factors that inform the strategic context of leaders. In his dissertation, he argues that the IR scholarship on public opinion has thus far ignored an important yet basic fact about the public: it is not homogeneous. Individuals have diverse preferences and the way in which these aggregate has important implications for foreign policy decision-making in the context of audience costs, attempts of rapprochement, and bargains across regime types.
