Sebastián Raphael Priego

I am a DPhil student in Politics, supervised by Professors Ezequiel González Ocantos and Livia Schubiger. My research centres on the intersection of militarisation and megaprojects, with a particular emphasis on Latin America.

For my doctoral dissertation, I am conducting an in-depth analysis of the political economy of military-led mass infrastructure projects in Mexico, exploring their repercussions on regional political order and subnational patterns of violence.

I studied Political Science and International Relations at Leiden University College and the Australian National University and read for an MSc in Latin American Studies at St Antony’s College, Oxford. I also worked in the Mexican Foreign Ministry as an Area Director and have a keen interest in all things Latin American.
