Felix Schulte
Dr. Felix Schulte is Senior Researcher and head of the cluster “Conflict & Security”. His research and teaching 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 relationships between “old” and “new” minorities in different settings (inter-minority relations).
Felix studied political science, sociology, and history in Eichstätt, Linköping and Heidelberg and obtained his doctorate from Heidelberg University in 2019. Previously, he held positions as research associate and post-doctoral researcher at Heidelberg University and Mannheim University (Head of Chairs: Prof. Aurel Croissant and Prof. Dr. Marc Debus). 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 Palgrave MacMillan, the International Journal on Minority and Group Rights, or Regional & Federal Studies, among others. Felix is book reviews editor of the journal Democratization (Taylor and Francis).
