Jonata Anicetti recently successfully defended his doctoral dissertation “Paying the Buyer: From One-Off Defense Offsets to Strategic Alliances,” thus earning the degree of Doctor of Political and Social Sciences of the European University Institute. His research has aimed to show when, why and how defense offsets – compensation to states for buying foreign weapons – have started to evolve into strategic alliances between foreign suppliers and domestic firms. Jonata has published articles with Defense & Security Analysis and RUSI Journal on the topic of defense offsets and has presented his research at academic conferences focused on international security and international political economy. He holds two Master’s Degrees, one in International Relations and European Studies (Cesare Alfieri) and one in Intelligence & International Security (King’s College London). Jonata has also worked as journalist and analyst for various companies. Since February 2022, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Security Studies, and is currently working on projects ranging from arms collaboration to the influence of radical right parties on foreign and defense policies.
