What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

International development has been my passion for quite some years now. During my visit to former Yugoslavia (Bosnia-Herzegovina) in 2005 I developed a specific interest within development issues in conflict and peacebuilding processes. Africa, with its devastating history of civil wars, has increasingly drawn my attention. This fall I hope to pay a visit to Burundi for a two month field research.

Please list the countries and/or regions in which you (or your organization) have direct and significant expertise

My expertise currently lies with more general conceptions about processes of conflict, peace building and international development, for I have not yet visited or done extensive research on one specific country or region. However, as mentioned, my main interest lies with (post) conflict areas in Africa.
