My work looks at policies and political actors involved in negotiating durable solutions to conflicting commitments of protection of group-relevant interests and guarantees of individual equality. I am interested in relationships between the institutions of the state and expectations from these institutions in society, the relationships between the majority and the minority after group-based conflict, and issues relating to equality and non-discrimination in culturally diverse societal contexts. 
At the heart of it, sits my focus on institutional commitments underpinning democratic politics and these commitments’ effect on transition from conflict to peace, from one ideological paradigm to another (e.g. from communism to liberal democracy). I have come to appreciate the role that power-sharing mechanism can play, under appropriate conditions, in consolidating peace and ensure long-term democratic stability. 
More recently, I have investigated mechanisms through which consociational political systems encourage stability, dismantle intergroup tensions and incur benefits to all citizens even when quality of political regimes remains questionable and lags behind popular expectations. In this, cross-segmental cooperation at both the elite and the ground, interpersonal levels, is key to enhance the returns on peace for all segments of postconflict societies.
