HCSS is thrilled – and very proud – to welcome back Nora Nijboer! Nora was an intern with us from 2021-2022, and as of this month, she has joined our team as a Strategic Analyst.
Nora’s primary research interests regard the deterrence-arms control nexus, European defence and security policies, sanctions and small/middle power strategies.
Prior to joining HCSS, she has contributed to policy- and risk analyses at governmental, non-profit, financial and academic research institutes in the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic. As an intern at HCSS back in 2021-2022, she co-published on active denial strategies by European and Asian small and middle powers against revisionist aggression.
She holds a MSSc degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from Uppsala University, where her thesis examined the relation between interstate island disputes and violent escalation. Additionally, she attained her MA degree in International Relations in Historical Perspective from Utrecht University and her BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences with a focus on European History at Tilburg University. She is fluent in Dutch, English and German.
On rejoining HCSS, she stated:
“With faltering arms control regimes and intensified geopolitical competition around the globe, finding common ground and raising awareness of the military and civilian risks to escalation is a must. Joining forces with HCSS’ team of interdisciplinary experts gives me the opportunity make a difference with the skills and knowledge I have gained so far and that I am hoping to develop during my time here.”
