Her research centers on African international politics, specializing in security policy, regional integration, and transnational challenges. Key interests include migration as a security issue, weak states versus strong regimes, and grassroots conflict management through organizations like IGAD. She examines how environmental factors intersect with security frameworks and analyzes evolving regional security architectures across Africa.
Dokken's publication trajectory from 1997 to 2012 reveals consistent focus on African governance dynamics, shifting from environmental conflict studies to contemporary security challenges. Her work demonstrates deep engagement with neo-regionalism, state fragility, and the practical implementation of regional security mechanisms, particularly highlighting sub-regional organizations' roles in managing transnational threats and migration flows.
