Research areas	Cold War History, British Diplomacy
Keywords	Cold War, Culture, Americanization
Themes	My main research focus is the British diplomatic history. The British diplomacy during 1960s and 1970s in Europe and its impact on detente have been analyzed up until now. Upon these works, I started researches on how music was used in international politics, and what kind of continuity and discontinuity in international politics we can find between before and after the WWII. In addition to these historical works, my research interests include security policy in today's Europe and critical investigation of cultural factors in international politics.
