Alex Baxter
I am a second-year in the MPhil International Relations program and a member of Lincoln College. My primary research interest is investigating the effects of changes in ontological security on countries' global role conceptions, specifically in the case of the UK in the post-Brexit era. I also maintain broader interests in constructivist structural IR theory and International Political Economy. My research is supported by a scholarship from the Lord Kitchener National Memorial Fund.

Her research interests are grounded in Soviet and post-Soviet authoritarianism, the formal and informal institutions within modern post-Soviet states, and the changing nature of autocratic politics.
