Griffith University Research Fellow Dr Ferran Martinez i Coma is set to find himself in internationally esteemed company when he travels to the United States on a speaking trip this month.
Dr Martinez i Coma has been invited to speak at both the Organisation of American States and the US Department of State Bureau of Intelligence and Research as part of his week-long sojourn.
During his engagement at the OAS – an event to which he was the only academic invited – Dr Martinez i Coma will share a panel with former President of Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla as well as Craig Jenness, the Director of Electoral Assistance at the Department of Political Affairs at the United Nations.
His presentation there will centre on research analysing the degree of implementation for more than 1000 recommendations in over 100 election observer missions that have been deployed by the organisation in the past 15 years.
