Thorsten Gromes successfully completed his habilitation at Goethe University Frankfurt on Monday, April 29, 2024 with a public lecture titled “Determining the number and distribution of conflict deaths”. Drawing on the conflict in Kosovo, Thorsten Gromes examines four different methodological approaches to record fatalities in armed conflicts and critically discussed the extent to which these can be applied worldwide.
His habilitation thesis tiled “Peace Survival after Civil War” was accepted at Goethe University in February 2024. Using a multi-method approach, Thorsten Gromes investigates the stability of peace after civil wars. As such, he analyzes the post-war orders and the development of 48 civil wars that occurred between 1990 and 2009. The habilitation thesis was written in the context of the project “One-Sided or Balanced: Which Post-Civil War Order Secures the Intrastate Peace?” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
We congratulate him on his successful habilitation!
