About Bruce Hemmer

I am a political scientist specializing in peacebuilding and democratization, particularly the civic and political cultural aspects, and domestic-international interactions. I am equally interested in conducting policy-relevant research, teaching, and directly contributing to democratization and peacebuilding efforts. I have extensive experience with conflict analysis, strategic planning, program design, and monitoring, evaluation and learning for programs, other activities, and strategies. My experience includes practical work with a range of organizations, including the U.S. State Department and other foreign affairs agencies in the U.S. Government, the OSCE, the Carter Center, the National Endowment for Democracy, and small NGOs. I have worked in person in Bangladesh, Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ethiopia, Germany (AFRICOM), Kosovo, Malaysia, Nepal, Northern Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe. My analytic, advising, and oversight work has included a much broader range. Specialties include: peacebuilding, conflict analysis, conflict prevention, atrocity prevention, preventing and countering violent extremism, conflict transformation, stabilization, comparative politics, international relations, democratization, political participation, political culture, civil society, social movements, NGOs, cultural conflict, cultural change, globalization, great power competition, international organizations, post-authoritarian societies, fragility, monitoring and evaluation, training, strategic planning, and program design.
