Please join us as Dr Ibrahim presents his paper: From Fragmentation to Process: Four Schools of Analysis of the Ukraine War Mediation Efforts 

The paper develops a framework to study mediation as a dynamic, multi-stage process, drawing on the diverse efforts surrounding the war in Ukraine, highlighting how conflict structures shape mediation stages, the recalibration of actors’ roles, and the value of process-sensitive analysis for policy and practice. 

He will be joined by Professor Isak Svensson (Uppsala University) as discussant.

This event is part of the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding Research Seminar Series.

About the Seminars

Each semester, CCDP hosts a series of internal seminars to give our faculty, staff and affiliates the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback. The goal of the seminars is to have an informal and frank conversation about the research presented, and exchange ideas across disciplines and expertise, going beyond academic silos. Speakers at the seminars are both early career and senior scholars.

The seminar series is organised by Apolline Foëdit for the academic year 2025-2026.
