Michael Deibert

Michael Deibert serves as a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Peace and Reconciliation Studies, Coventry University, contributing to non-violent reconciliation processes and international dialogue on peacebuilding with emphasis on Africa and Latin America.

His research spans International Relations, Peace and Reconciliation Studies, and regional expertise in African Politics (particularly the Democratic Republic of Congo) and Latin American Studies (notably Haiti). Deibert critically examines foreign intervention, resource extraction conflicts, and political instability through field-based analysis of post-colonial governance systems.

Supported by the IPRA Foundation, Deibert conducted Central African research culminating in his Congo-focused monograph. His journalistic contributions to the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Guardian demonstrate applied scholarship bridging academic and public discourse on conflict zones.
