The topic seems interesting and I think I can supervise this thesis However, we would like to see a proper PhD proposal, which is fuller and richer and presents a clear purpose. What theoretical frameworks will be used? What methodology? A
proper IR, IPE, study of bilateral relations? We can then assess the potential of the proposal and move forward.
the student may want to develop his research proposal as this is rather rudimentary and I imagine is unlikely to be successful without a proper research question, hypothesis, and a discussion of data sources and the contribution to the existing research.
