Daniel Tuki

Daniel Tuki is a Research Fellow in the Migration, Integration and Transnationalization Department at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, based in Berlin, Germany. His research spans multiple critical areas of social science with a regional focus on West Africa.

His primary research interests include:

• Conflict Studies, particularly examining farmer-herder violence and secessionist movements in Nigeria
• Development Economics, analyzing poverty, economic expectations, and crisis impacts
• Gender Studies, investigating attitudes toward gender equality and maternal health behaviors
• Migration Studies, exploring drivers and family dynamics in Nigerian migration patterns

Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent focus on Nigerian politics and society, with emerging work extending to Niger. His methodology heavily utilizes survey data and quasi-experimental approaches to examine how violent conflict shapes religious attitudes, economic perceptions, and intergroup relations. Key thematic clusters include the psychological impacts of violence, ethnic and religious identity politics, and policy responses to agricultural conflicts.

Tuki actively contributes to academic discourse through peer-reviewed journals in political science, economics, and public health. His work demonstrates strong regional expertise in West African socio-political dynamics with particular emphasis on Nigeria's complex ethnic and religious landscape.
