Andrea Betti holds a PhD in International Studies from the School of International Studies at the University of Trento. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Master’s degree in International Relations from the University of Bologna. He has taught International Relations Theory at various universities in Spain and Latin America, such as the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO Ecuador, Quito). He has also carried out several research stays at the University of Westminster (London) and at the University of California’s Washington, D.C. campus.
His main research areas are, first, International Relations Theory and Foreign Policy Analysis, with particular attention to the transatlantic space, especially Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy. His work examines the interactions between national and international actors and factors—leaders, political parties, governments, international institutions, ideologies, and discourses—in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. For instance, he has studied the impact of international ideas such as the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), humanitarian intervention, and international justice, as well as the influence of national ideologies and discourses, such as populism, on foreign policy. Second, he conducts research on teaching innovation in Political Science and International Relations. He examines, for example, the effects of the flipped classroom and visual thinking—through the use of films and documentaries—on the teaching of International Relations.
Within these two main research lines, he has been part of several research projects on Foreign Policy Analysis and Teaching Innovation. His research relies primarily on qualitative methods, such as document analysis, discourse analysis, focus groups, and interviews.
Since 2016, he is Tenured Professor of International Relations Theory in the Department of International Relations of the Pontifical University Comillas.
