I am a researcher working on legitimation and governance in international politics and civil war.
I work as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Potsdam.
My research deals with
Conflict
How are political systems upheld during conflict? What is the relation between violence, authority and support?
Legitimacy
How can we theorise and operationalise legitimation in contexts of complex governance such as international politics or civil war?
Qualitative Methods
When should we do fieldwork? What are the ethics of fieldwork in contexts of political violence?
Governance
How do multi-layered governance systems interact? How do armed actors govern in civil war?
