Lucas Zhang is a rising junior at Boston University who is studying International Relations with a focus on security studies and the Asia-Pacific Region. Originally from Center Valley, Pennsylvania, Lucas’s interest in studying Eurasia stems from the region’s gradual return to the center stage of international affairs from the dissolution to the Soviet Union to the current War in Ukraine. Shaped by an additional fascination with the various historical factors which have served to the define the current state of affairs in the Eurasian region, Lucas aspires to be able to contribute to a better understanding of issues affecting this region as well the often storied history behind those issues.
Lucas also sits on the Board of the Directors of the International Relations Review at Boston University, a biannual publication on foreign policy issues which is one of the few undergraduate journals retained in the Library of Congress as its Executive Managing Editor.
