Undergraduate Essays
As part of my undergraduate degree in Psychology (with courses in Politics and Central and East European Studies) I have written a number of essays which I will upload in the near future.
Politics

Description: My second year undergraduate essay discussing the ability of non-state actors to influence international relations. I'm pulling a bit of a trick here by using a concept based on the psychologist Paul Watzlawick's definition of first and second order change.
