About Pierre-Alexandre De Bavay M.A.
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer any question that deals with geopolitics, political stability and the role of big powers in the Middle East. My strongest background deals with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but I have a good knowledge of the region going from the Caucasus to Egypt, the Arabic Peninsula and Central Asia. Even if your question does not directly deal with this, I will try to answer it anyway.

Experience
I worked for the Center for American Studies in Brussels and for the European Institute for International Relations as political analyst.

Organizations
CAS, EIIR

Education/Credentials
BA Political Science MA International Relations MA American Studies
