Stefan Wolff
Leading Authority in Post Conflict Reconstruction
Stefan Wolff specialises in post-conflict reconstruction of deeply divided and war-torn societies. He has extensive expertise in Northern Ireland, the Balkans and the Middle East, and has also worked on a wide range of other conflicts elsewhere, including Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Bridging the divide between academia and policy-making, Stefan advises national and international governmental and non-governmental organisations and the private sector. He is part of a small team of experts studying and developing complex institutional design solutions for self-determination conflicts. He is also coordinating a research group examining the influence of external factors on the development and stability of ethnic autonomy regimes.
Stefan is a Reader in the Department of European Studies at the University of Bath. He holds a Masters Degree from Magdalene College, Cambridge, and a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
As convener of the Ethnopolitics Specialist Group an international team of scholars and practitioners working on issues related to the prevention, management and settlement of ethnic and religious conflicts and sponsored by the UK’s Political Studies Association, Stefan has built a global network of professionals with a wide range of geographic and topical expertise.
He is currently working on the development of a comprehensive strategy to involve the private sector into peace-building in the Middle East. For the past two years, he has also been instrumental in developing and implementing a multiyear institutional reform and training programme for the Western Balkan countries aimed at government officials, journalists and leaders from the private and non-profit sectors the programme focuses on the significance of regional and European integration and provides participants with the skills and knowledge to prepare for eventual accession to the European Union while simultaneously fostering closer links between them in order to better address problems of a regional dimension and establish mechanisms of non-violent conflict regulation.[/expand]
He is frequently invited as plenary speaker to conferences and workshops throughout the world as well as advising and speaking at private company gatherings. Stefan is highly regarding as a leading expert in his field and is in constant demand by corporations and governments eager to exploit his expertise.[/expand]
