Curriculum Vitae
Martijn van Ette is a PhD-candidate whose research is part of the NWO Vidi-funded project ‘American foreign policy and liberalism’. This project aims to challenge the conception that the US-led postwar order reflected America’s domestic liberalism by considering the influence of illiberal US features, including racism, on the development of the ‘liberal international order’. Within this project he focuses on Southeast Asia and the influence of the Chinese diaspora on America’s strategic interpretations of the region.
Martijn's academic background consists of a History Bachelor at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam and an MSc in International Organisation and MA in Global Political Economy, both at Leiden University. During these studies he developed an interest in International Relations, foreign policy and the underlying social drivers that determine the latter’s expressions.
