David J. Wilcox

I am an early Career Researcher interested in unofficial and official diplomacy and conflict resolution and the role of individuals, their perceptions and relationships within diplomatic initiatives and their development.

My recent PhD thesis focused on the development of unofficial (Track II) diplomacy into official (Track I diplomacy), examining the role of perception of trustworthiness and interpersonal trust in the "scaling up" process using the case study of the 1992-1993 Oslo Channel between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
