Rethink....the social care crisis
Our annual PPE Centenary Lecture – Wednesday 13 November 2024
Brian Kot
Chun Hey (Brian) Kot obtained an MPhil in International Relations (Distinction) at St Antony’s College, University of Oxford. His thesis, awarded the Sara Norton Prize (2024–25), develops the concept of dual-use distinguishability—how easily a state can differentiate between a technology’s military and civilian applications—to explain the dynamics of US-China AI competition, arguing that the degree of state–business relations and civil–military integration shapes foreign threat perception.

I am a MPhil student in European Politics and Society. My primary academic interests are in the field of Political Economy, Quantitative Research Methods, and Game Theory.
Before coming to the DPIR, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences at Leiden University with a major in Governance, Economics and Development with Cum Laude distinction. Afterwards, I completed my MSc in Economics (Behavioral Economics and Game Theory) at the University of Amsterdam. My master thesis analysed strategic parliamentary voting games of “king-maker parties”.

Northern Exposure: Race, nation and disaffection in post-Brexit Wakefield
The ESRC Project (2018-2022), Northern Exposure: Race, Nation and Disaffection in "Ordinary" Towns and Cities after Brexit set itself the task of challenging simplifications about diversity and social polarisation that predominate in the political sociology of Brexit and after. It was based on a wide range of oral history interviews with mainly elderly residents in four typical mid-sized towns in the North of England and extensive co-productive fieldwork with local authorities and third-sector actors there.
