| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, I analyzed civil conflicts and the accompanying state disintegration in Northeast African countries (e.g., Sudan, Somalia) with a distinctive focus on the roles of outside actors (from guerrilla infiltration to international peace-making efforts). A unique combination of methodologies (multi-agent simulation (MAS) and geographic information system (GIS)) enabled empirically relevant as well as policy-oriented research on these phenomena.The three-year research produced published academic works along with an enhanced MAS model of civil conflict, which can be a powerful tool for understanding as well as managing conflict dynamics. The academic publications include a book chapter on civil conflicts in Sudan and a co-authored working paper about the state collapse and reconstruction in Somalia.
