Annekatrin Deglow

Annekatrin Deglow serves as an Assistant Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Peace and Conflict Research, specializing in the societal impacts of organized violence and institutional responses in conflict zones. Her work bridges political science, criminology, and security studies through rigorous empirical analysis of real-world conflicts.

Her research prioritizes:

• Electoral violence dynamics and democratic resilience
• Post-conflict crime patterns and policing legitimacy
• Civilian experiences during insurgencies
• Long-term societal legacies of civil war
• Public opinion formation under insecurity
• Institutional trust in fragile states

Fieldwork spans India, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Northern Ireland with methodological emphasis on subnational variation and micro-level mechanisms.

Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal consistent focus on how electoral violence shapes democratic attitudes and how counterinsurgency tactics influence postwar security. Her work demonstrates sophisticated cross-regional comparisons—particularly examining India's electoral violence alongside Nigerian and Afghan contexts—while advancing theoretical frameworks about state-society relations in conflict aftermaths. The trajectory shows increasing engagement with democratic backsliding and institutional erosion themes.
