, who recently completed his PhD at PAIS and is currently an Early Career Fellow at the Institute of Advances Studies has published an article in Geopolitics: "Leading from Behind - American Exceptionalism and President Obama's Post-American Vision of Hegemony"

The article is available under: Geopolitics, Vol. 20, no. 2 (2015): pp. 308-332
