David Dusseault, (PhD / MA University of Helsinki) is a political scientist by training and a policy analyst by trade. David's Master's work focused on International Relations and normative theories of Democracy. Later on, his doctoral research homed in on elite risk assessments as keys to regime consolidation when applied to the political economy of Russia's regions and federal institutions durin gthe Yeltsin period (1992-2000). Out of his PhD research grew an interest in various structures which define the hydrocarbon business, the drivers behind energy policy formation, and the political knock-on effects produced by the energy trade. By 2011, David was hired as Senior Market Analyst for the Finnish natural gas distribution company Gasum OY. There, he covered structural changes in the energy trade related to making hydrocarbons greener, more sustainable and yet commercially profitable. As a member of the Cultures of Rationality research group at SAS, David's inttelectual interests are now focused on the caculi of decision making under increasing systemic uncertainty. To contend with the topic, he is employing a generalized model of Integral Theory to global events. Through this novel apporach the intention is to discern to what extent specific logics / codes / programs which underpin public expressions of individual, institutional and organizational interests can be qualified and applied to both research and real-world circumstances.
