Felix Schulte
Dr. Felix Schulte is Senior Researcher and head of the cluster “Conflict & Security”. His research interests are situated at the intersection of empirical conflict studies and comparative politics and focus on three areas: the emergence of conflictive mass behavior in divided societies (conflict dynamics), institutional options for regulating such conflicts in a peaceful and sustainable way (territorial self-governance and power-sharing) as well as conflictual relationships between “old” and “new” minorities in modern societies (inter-minority relations).
Felix studied political science, sociology, and history in Eichstätt, Linköping and Heidelberg. Previously, he held positions as research associate and post-doctoral researcher at Heidelberg University and Mannheim University. Felix was a guest researcher at the Åland Islands Peace Institute (Finland) and the Institute for Minority Rights at EURAC Bolzano (Italy). His work has been published by Routledge, Palgrave MacMillan, West European Politics, the International Journal on Minority and Group Rights, among others. Felix is book reviews editor of the journal Democratization (Taylor and Francis).More information can also be found here: https://www.felix-schulte.de.
