Short presentation

My research concerns challenges facing new democracies, especially as seen from below among regular citizens (and less regular citizens, like ex-combatants). My work primarily focuses on the dynamics of post-war citizenry participation, especially in the intersection between peacebuilding and democratization.

You can find out more about me on my website.
