Dr. Andrew Thomas PARK

Honorary Lecturer: Andrew Thomas Park completed his PhD at the University of Hong Kong in 2020. Examining the use of commissions and plebiscites as international responses to crises of self-determination, his dissertation details how these became embedded within the techniques of peacekeeping and election monitoring familiar today. His research and teaching interests include the history of international relations, self-determination, international peacekeeping, and diplomacy. He completed his Bachelors at the University of Melbourne, and his Masters in the Peking University-London School of Economics joint degree programme. Before moving to Hong Kong he worked in Beijing with the German International Cooperation Agency (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) on projects relating to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
