Research Areas
Methods and application of Peace and State-Building within Syria and other post-conflict areas.
My research examines both the historical and perspective application of various peace and state-building mechanisms, with special focus attributed to the case study of Syria. Debating the normative notions of liberal peace theory against the various critiques levelled at this design, placing the Syrian scenario within the contemporary idea of liberal modernity. The research challenges the vast concepts and functions of violence, democratisation and the understanding of “peace” as an achievable outcome of conflict.
