Ernest Asamoa is the Executive Director of The Kratos Institute, where he leads research and      innovation at the intersection of democratic resilience, institutional diagnostics, and early‑warning analysis.

He is a governance analyst whose work focuses on understanding how political systems weaken, how elites   reorganize, and how early indicators can help prevent violence, democratic breakdown and insecurity.

 Ernest is a PhD Candidate in Political Science at Florida International University, specializing in personalist politics,  elite networks, and institutional stability. He is the developer of the Political Diagnostics Toolkit, an applied  early‑warning framework designed to detect emerging risks of democratic erosion and political instability.

 The Toolkit integrates comparative politics, data analytics, and policy‑oriented research, focusing, on democracy,   development, U.S. foreign policy, elections, security, institutions, personalist leaders and regimes.
