About the Author
With decades of experience in senior management roles within the corporate world, Thomas Karat brings a unique lens to his analysis of global affairs. Holding an MSc in Behaviour Analysis from Manchester Metropolitan University, his academic research focused on deception in high-stakes business negotiations, drawing insights from 30 senior executives at one of the world’s largest corporations.
Today, as an analyst, he has consciously chosen to focus on two of the world’s most contentious crises: the Israel/Palestine conflict and the war in Ukraine. He believes that the higher the stakes, the more profound the insights into human behaviour and power dynamics, making these topics critical grounds for understanding the truths often hidden beneath official narratives.
