Mako Publishes Book Chapter The Right of Return in Iraq
Shamiran Mako, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published a recent book chapter in an edited volume entitled Transitional Justice and Forced Migration: Critical Perspectives from the Global South (Cambridge University Press, 2019).
Mako’s chapter is entitled “The Right of Return in Iraq: Conceptualizing Insecurity, State Fragility and Forced Displacement.” The chapter was co-written with Hannibal Travis.
Shamiran Mako’s research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of international relations and comparative politics with a focus on authoritarianism, civil wars, democratization, institutional capacity building, governing in divided societies, and American foreign policy with a regional interest on the Middle East and North Africa. Specifically, she explores the historical and contemporary drivers of inter and intra-state conflicts that produce weak and fragile states and examines ways in which successful conflict mitigating strategies relating to post-conflict state and peacebuilding can be applied to states in the MENA region.
