The Fellow spent the months from April to August of FY 2015 to compare and synthetize results across her case studies. These results were presented at two international conferences: the Academic Council on the UN System (ACUNS) Annual Meeting in The Hague in June 2015 and the“Narratives of Peace and Conflict” Conference in Liverpool in July 2015. Discussions with colleagues provided her with substantive feedback on her research, which she integrated into her conference papers written in FY 2014. The Fellow is still in the process of revising papers before submitting them to international journals just before she finishes her fellowship. She has also drafted a research summary of 1000 words that presents the findings of her research in an accessible and short format.
Overall, she has reached three main conclusions: first, what kind of successful influence practices individuals are able to engage in depends on their institutional background in the UN system. Second, an adequate level of willingness for confrontation (moderate to high task focus) is needed by all individuals who seek to exert influence in the UN. Third, successful individuals share a plural socialization across different UN backgrounds: their familiarity with different kinds of professional environments led them to be more successful in promoting their ideas in variable and adequate ways across the UN's diplomatic community.
The Fellow has also published a paper in her connected research field exploring US security policy across the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
