Natalie Pauwels was employed as pre-doc researcher at UEA for a
three-month period in 2004. She was involved in the RTN Network
since its inception as network associate based at the Institut d'études
européennes, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB),
where she is a doctoral student. She benefits from a doctoral research
grant from the Pôle Bernheim d'Etudes sur la Paix et la Citoyenneté,
and her PhD thesis focuses on international policy responses to
economies of contemporary civil wars, particularly efforts to regulate
the trade in lucrative natural resources.
Natalie previously worked as a researcher at the International
Security Information Service, Europe (ISIS Europe), junior researcher
at the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) where she
edited and contributed to a book on demobilization and reintegration,
and research assistant at the Stockholm International Peace Research
Institute's (SIPRI) Chemical and Biological Warfare Project. Following
studies at the London School of Economics (MSc) and the University
of Toronto, Canada (BA), she began her career in research as an
intern at the Stockholm Environment Institute as part of the 'Young
Canadian Leaders for a Sustainable Future' programme funded by the
Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and
the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
She holds a DEA in political science from the ULB, an MSc in European
Studies from the London School of Economics and a BA in Political
Science from the University of Toronto, Canada, and should complete
her doctoral thesis in late 2005 -- assuming all goes according
to plan.
