Johannes Jude is a Marie-Skłodowska-Curie-Action Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Edinburgh's School of Social and Political Science. His research focuses on the comparative study of dynamics in state formation and decay, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Jude aims to develop an original analytical framework that integrates theories of state formation and research on rebel governance and civil war. This work seeks to answer the core question: how do legacies of violent conflict and armed movements impact post-war state-making? His current project, RebeLeg, examines the long-term effects of civil wars on post-conflict state formation trajectories in two African regions: the Horn of Africa and Southern Africa. Jude's findings contribute significantly to the understanding of post-conflict state formation, aiming to inform new approaches to international support for post-conflict states, moving away from militarized interventions seen in Afghanistan and Iraq.
