Integrity Initiative
The Institute for Statecraft expert team list describes him as a specialist in globalisation and new media "focused on Wider Europe, in particular the Ukraine, Caucasus and the Central Asian Republics", researching "the effectiveness of 'Western' strategies in countering the activities of adversaries".[2] In the "Tor Team" table his role is "Academic liaison" (20 years): "Linking universities into the network; counter measures".[6] The list published by Anonymous repeats the expert-team biography and states no military role.[3]
