The international administration of disputed territories in comparative perspective
Stefan Wolff, Professor of International Security at the University of Manchester, specialises in the management of contemporary security challenges, especially in the prevention and settlement of ethnic conflicts and in post-conflict reconstruction in deeply divided and war-torn societies. He has extensive expertise in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union, and has also worked on a wide range of other conflicts elsewhere, including the Middle East, Africa, and Central, South and Southeast Asia. Bridging the divide between academia and policy-making, he has been involved in various phases of conflict settlement processes, including in Sudan, Moldova, Sri Lanka, and Kosovo. Currently, he is involved in an advisory capacity in the settlement of the status of Kirkuk, Iraq, and Transnistria, Moldova.
Prior to his appointment at Birmingham, he taught at the Universities of Keele, Bath, and Nottingham and has held visiting professorships at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, Bologna Center, the Universities of Sofia, Bucharest, Skopje, and Belgrade, and at Humboldt University and Free University, Berlin. In 2006, Wolff served as Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the UK Defence Academy.
