With Michael Doyle, he published <i>Making War and Building Peace<\/i> (Princeton University Press, 2006), the first quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations after civil war. He is co-author of <i>Breaking the Conflict Trap: Civil War and Development Policy<\/i> (World Bank, 2003) a book that launched a large research agenda on the economics of political violence. With Paul Collier, he designed and implemented the first multi-country mixed-method (&#8220;nested&#8221;) research project exploring causes of civil war in a two-volume book, <i>Understanding Civil War: Evidence and Analysis<\/i> (World Bank, 2005).<\/p>\n<p>His articles have been published in the <em>American Political Science Review<\/em>,<em> International Organization, American Journal of Political Science, World Politics<\/em>, <em>Science<\/em>, and <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/em> among other peer-reviewed journals. His recent research explores the politics of immigration and considers ways to reduce native-immigrant conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Sambanis has taught at Yale (2001-2016) and Penn (2016-present). At Penn, he founded the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.sas.upenn.edu\/pic-lab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">Identity &amp; Conflict Lab<\/a> (PIC Lab), an inter-disciplinary lab working on a broad range of topics related to inter-group conflict. Topics of current interest are the effects of external intervention on peace-building after ethnic war; the analysis of violent escalation of separatist movements; conflict between native and immigrant populations; strategies to mitigate bias and discrimination against minority groups; and the impact of peer groups on the formation of policy preferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":26837,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"program":[20,22],"human_resource_role":[99],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/human_resources\/26836"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/human_resources"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/human_resources"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=26836"},{"taxonomy":"human_resource_role","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/human_resource_role?post=26836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
