Martin read for his MA degree in International Relations at the University of Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies and continued on to the PhD programme which he completed in 2012.
Research
Martin’s general research interests include Foreign Policy Analysis, International Relations Theory, and area studies. His doctoral research looks at the role of identity and interest as determinants of foreign policy. Specifically, he is enquiring into the role states such as Canada and Norway have played in the promotion of liberal international norms and investigating why Middle Power states act as ethical norm entrepreneurs.
Work
While studying, Martin has worked for the European Parliament as a researcher and later at the European security and defence consultancy COPURA as well as teaching at Drew University and for the University of Kent. He is currently lecturing at the University of Saskatchewan in the departments of Political Studies and International Studies.
