Christopher LaRoche is a PhD candidate in International Relations whose research interests focus on international security, nuclear nonproliferation, and "rogue states."
Before signing his life away to the catacombs of UofT's graduate administration, he was a research fellow at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and a writer/researcher for Canada's World, both in Vancouver, B.C.
