Archishman Ray Goswami

Archishman Ray Goswami is a Non-Resident Junior Fellow with the Observer Research Foundation.

His work focusses on the intersections between intelligence, multipolarity, and wider international politics, with a particular focus on the means by which intelligence, counterintelligence and covert operations serve as both reflections and determinants of foreign policy.

Presently, Archishman is a DPhil International Relations candidate at the University of Oxford, based at Green Templeton College. His doctoral research examines intelligence diplomacy and its use as a device of modern statecraft. Prior to the DPhil, Archishman completed his MPhil in International Relations at Oxford (2023-2025), as well as the BA in International Relations (2019-2022) and MA in National Security Studies (2022-2023) at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London.
