My research focuses on examining the strategies employed by emerging powers in their engagement with global governance and the international order, with a specific focus on the Latin American region. By integrating perspectives from politics, sociology, and social psychology, I investigate how non-Western actors navigate the complex dynamics of power and status within global hierarchies. The core areas of my study encompass foreign policy, diplomacy, security, as well as the sociology of knowledge and the intellectual or conceptual history that underpins these interactions.
