Specifically, he explores their implications for strategic security and the evolving dynamics of great power relations in the 21st century. A cornerstone of Jozef's work lies in providing insightful analysis of multipolar systems' stability, particularly emphasising the Eurasian region.

Jozef's academic journey includes obtaining PhDs from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, where he cultivated a profound understanding of Russia's strategic culture, enabling him to use this knowledge of Russia in his professional career. In 2023, he authored the acclaimed book "Post-Soviet Space Caught in Thucydides Trap: Grasping the Roots of Zero-Sum Thinking in the Russian Grand Strategy."
