Ilir’s interests lie in the intersection of foreign policy analyses, ethnic conflict and ethnic politics. More specifically, he is currently working on building a typology of kin state policies and their variation across time and space. Ilir is particularly interested in the instrumentalization of the across borders diasporas or ‘nationalizing minorities’ for particular political gains.
Dissertation title (provisional): Varieties of kin-state policies: from external minority (cultural) protection to irredentism in Central and Southeastern Europe. Why, when and under what condition ethnic policies and politics radicalize and vice-versa?
