Education: |
Master of Arts in Conflict, Security and Development.
Additional courses: Natural Resources and Conflict; Comparative Civil Wars; and Conflict, Culture and the Post-Colonial in International Politics.
Dissertation: ‘Government versus Governance – A political economy perspective on state failure and state-building in Somalia and Somaliland’; literature research. The study shows that in some post-conflict situations installing an official government might not lead to a more stable situation, while governance initiatives may create the ability to work towards the build-up of a state.
Master of Science in International Development Studies. Wageningen University.
Specialisation: Policy
Minor: Water Management
Thesis: ‘Water Allocation Reform through Licensing: The effect of neoliberalism on access to water for Historically Disadvantaged Individuals, Limpopo Province, South Africa’; empirical research. The study shows that the shift towards a neoliberal macro-economic policy has had a large effect on the implementation of the Water Allocation Reform (WAR). This shift meant a move away from the equality aim towards the efficiency aim of the policy, and consequently a deadlock in reaching the targets of the WAR and its main tool licensing.
