Bio/Research

I am professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. I received my PhD. from the University of Bern, Switzerland. Previous teaching and research appointments include the University of Konstanz, Germany, the institut d'études politiques d'Aix-en-Provence, Stanford University, and Freie University Berlin. My research and teaching interests include conflict research, methods of conflict research, state-building and intervention, international governance and development.
