Luca Venga

I am a postgraduate student at St. Antony's College, Oxford. I have lived in Italy, the United States and Germany, before moving to England where I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Politics and International Relations from the University of Manchester. Having always been extremely interested in Latin America, its cultures and its people, I decided to expand my knowledge and enrich my understanding of this wonderful region through the Mphil in Latin American studies. 

I am particularly interested in questions of security, both within and across states, and their relationship with other key trends such as democratization, economic inequalities, development and climate change. I collaborate with italian-based think-tank IARI (Istituto Analisi Relazioni Internazionali) on these topics, publishing a number of articles in collaboration with other scholars of Latin America.
