PhD Thesis


Title: Consolidation Strategies of Ordering Actors in Cities: Urban Political Settlements in Syria and Yemen 

Supervisors: Ravinder Bhavnani and Christiana Parreira 

Expected completion date: 2026

My research investigates how and why actors in cities decide to transition in conditions of armed conflict to create political orders and provide governance whilst cooperating. I seek to scale down and dive into the micro-dynamics of conflict at the city level and explore the ordering processes of actors forming political settlements within them.
