Profile
Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Government. My research centers on the the causes and consequences of ethnic power sharing and civil wars. Specifically, I investigate why political elites in ethnically divided societies decide to cooperate rather than to fight one another, how economic inequality between ethnic groups develops over time, and what effects international intervention has on the stability of ethnic power sharing. You can learn more about me on my personal website: https://ncbormann.github.io
