Andreas Juon's 'fascinating' thesis wins this year's Jean Blondel PhD Prize

I was awarded the 2021 Jean Blondel PhD Prize by the European Consortium for Political Research, which recognises the best doctoral thesis in political science produced in Europe each year. My dissertation, "Grievances, identity, and political opportunity: The effects of corporate and liberal power-sharing on ethnic conflict" (University College London, 2020), was praised by the jury as "ambitious in its width and depth, and innovative, providing fascinating insights on the implications of different power-sharing arrangements for peace in divided societies." The thesis introduced a new global constitutional power-sharing dataset covering 1945–2018 and developed a framework distinguishing corporate and liberal forms of ethnic inclusion to explain why some arrangements consolidate peace while others generate new grievances.
