Welcome! I am a senior researcher and head of the cluster Conflict & Security at the Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) in Flensburg, Germany. My research interests are situated at the intersection of empirical conflict studies, ethnopolitics, and comparative politics and focus on three areas: the emergence of conflictive mass behavior in divided societies, institutional options for regulating such conflicts in a peaceful and sustainable way, as well as ethnic diversity and relationships between "old" and "new" minorities more general. On this website, you will find further information on my current research projects and publications.
