Constantin Ruhe

Prof. Constantin Ruhe is a Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt, specializing in conflict studies, political science, and international relations. His research focuses on peace processes, migration policies, climate policy integration, and the social dynamics of discrimination and religious identification. He has conducted extensive work on the impact of violence, mediation strategies, and the intersection of education and identity formation among immigrant communities.

His research employs advanced quantitative methods, including conjoint experiments and survival analysis, to explore topics such as how perceived discrimination influences religious affiliation among Turkish immigrants in Germany and how extremist violence shapes Muslim religious identification. He also investigates the political dimensions of climate futures and the design of sustainable development targets aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda.

Ruhe’s recent work emphasizes forecasting peace agreement content through conflict event analysis and evaluating the effectiveness of sanctions and mediation in conflict resolution. His contributions bridge theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence, particularly in understanding how fear of violence drives intergroup conflicts and how third-party diplomacy can mitigate fatal violence.

His publications span journals in political science, environmental policy, and peace research, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to global challenges. He has contributed to collaborative research projects like RISS (Research Institute for Sustainable Systems) and CRACK, focusing on interdisciplinary solutions to complex societal issues.
