Bart Klem Research

Collaboration

I presently co-supervise five PhD students, all of whom do work that relates to my own. All are also part of the research cluster on “Conflict, Development and Justice” at the University of Melbourne.

• Nathan Bond, ‘Frontier State Building, Decentralisation, and Development in the North Kalimantan Borderlands’
• Marika Sosnowski, ‘The Development of Governance Structures in Syria under Ceasefires’. See here for Marika’s recent article in Civil Wars.
• Shea, ‘Mediating Peace through Hybrid Third-Parties: The International Contact Group in the Mindanao Peace Process’
• Joe Cropp, ‘A Conversation with Killers: Humanitarian Protection in Contemporary Wars’
• Emmanual Awoh, ‘The Role of Traditional Authorities in Conflict Management: Cameroon’

The vast majority of my own work is collaborative as well. Some of the centres that work with (or have worked with) very closely, and which I consider a valuable part of my academic environment include:

• The School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, where I presently work as a DECRA fellow and a lecturer in Development Studies.
• The Political Geography group at University of Zurich, where I did my PhD and worked as a lecturer.
• Clingendael Institute, where I used to work as an applied researcher.
• School of Oriental and African Studies
• The Arts Faculty of the University of Colombo (where I am currently associated as a visiting scholar)
• The Arts Faculty at University of Peradeniya
• The Centre for Conflict Studies at Utrecht University
• University of Edinburgh
• Disaster Studies group at Wageningen University)
• Walisongo Mediation Center, which I was closely involved with as part of our international project of mediation.

I normally connect with fellow academics via researchgate, but I have an academic.edu profile as well.
