Dr. İbrahim Fevzi GÜVEN serves as Assistant Professor and Vice Department Head in the Department of International Relations at Karabuk University's Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences since 2022, with a concurrent visiting position at George Mason University's Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution (2024-2025) funded by TÜBİTAK.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Political Science and International Relations, Istanbul University (2019-2022)
- Master's in International Relations, Yalova University (2015-2017)
- Bachelor's in Political Science and International Relations, Istanbul University (2009-2014)
Dr. GÜVEN's research specializes in International Security and Conflict Resolution with regional expertise in the Balkans, examining genocide memory (Srebrenica/Khojaly), post-conflict peacebuilding, and consociational governance challenges. His methodological approach integrates discourse analysis, comparative case studies, and political psychology frameworks, particularly cognitive dissonance theory in denial studies.
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal three dominant research trajectories: (1) critical analysis of power-sharing limitations in Bosnia, (2) everyday peace mechanisms in post-conflict societies, and (3) geopolitical implications of Yugonostalgia in ex-Yugoslav states. His work demonstrates increasing international recognition through SSCI and SCOPUS publications.
He currently leads a university-funded social memory project on the Bosnian War in Bihać region (2025-2026) and co-researches two additional projects including a TÜBA/TÜBİTAK study on everyday peace in Bosnia. Though not supervising thesis students, he mentors undergraduates in courses like Scientific Research Methods and Conflict Resolution, emphasizing practical research application.
