Interview mit Forschungsbereichsleiter Dr. Felix Schulte

Der Forschungsbereich, Konflikt & Sicherheit‘ beobachtet und analysiert gewaltsame und nicht-gewaltsame ethnische Konflikte in Europa. Untersucht werden zum einen Konfliktdynamiken und die Frage, warum ethnische Konflikte zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten eskalieren. Zum anderen werden erfolgreiche Ansätze des Konfliktmanagements erforscht, insbesondere welche institutionellen Reformen unter welchen Bedingungen am effektivsten sind, um ethnische Selbstbestimmungskonflikte friedlich und langfristig zu lösen. Ferner beobachten die ForscherInnen die Bedingungen für friedliches Zusammenleben von „alten“ und „neuen“ Minderheiten in Europa. Ein aktueller Forschungsschwerpunkt ist das von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderte SPARK-Projekt. Lesen Sie das Interview mit Dr. Felix Schulte, Senior Researcher am ECMI und Leiter des Forschungsbereich „Konflikt & Sicherheit“.
