Caroline Brandt

Caroline Brandt serves as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Peace and Conflict Research. Previously, she held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Southern California and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) in Geneva.

• Ph.D. in Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, 2020

Her research program investigates civil war termination dynamics, emphasizing how governments weaponize peace agreements against residual rebel factions in multi-actor conflicts and how computational methods reveal public opinion's role in international intervention decisions. This interdisciplinary work bridges political science, conflict studies, and data science methodologies.

Her 2022 Democratization publication analyzes transnational organizational impacts on ethnic party formation in Eastern European elections, exemplifying her focus on international norms shaping domestic political institutions in post-conflict environments.

Though current advisory roles and grant funding aren't specified in available materials, her research trajectory indicates active collaboration in peace process analysis and intervention studies within global conflict resolution networks.
