Research Interests:

  • Transformations of political violence

Research Projects

Regine Schwab's research focuses on Islamist and jihadist actors in internationalized armed conflict, with a regional specialization on West Asia. I am particularly concerned with structures and institutions these actors (re)build, their behaviour and interaction with other groups but also civilians and external actors, ideological changes, and violence against civilians. I also research opportunities for engaging with militant Islamist groups in order to de-escalate and resolve conflicts.
