Research Interests

Stetter's scholarly work bridges theoretical frameworks from global history, deep history, and evolutionary sociology with on-the-ground conflict analysis. His research examines how world society structures and social evolution theories inform contemporary security challenges, particularly in Middle Eastern contexts and European foreign policy formulation. This interdisciplinary approach connects macro-historical patterns with immediate geopolitical realities, emphasizing the practical application of academic knowledge to address violent conflicts and peacebuilding efforts. His November 2023 lecture 'Enemies and allies: War, peace and security from Ukraine and the Middle East to the South China Sea' exemplifies this transregional analytical focus.
