Am 7. September findet das jährliche Schlossfest der Universität Mannheim statt. Als Teil des Science Marathon hält Sabine Carey einen Kurz-Vortrag zum Thema “Der lange Schatten eines Konfliktes: (K)ein Gefühl der Sicherheit für alle?”
Sabine Carey redete mit ca. 80 Jugendlichen von Gymnasien aus der Rhein-Neckar Region über die Eskalation von Kriegen, wieso es zu Kriegen kommt und wie man das Risiko von Kriegsausbrüchen verringern kann. Die Vorlesung war Teil der Aktion “Mehr WISSENschaft” der Universität Mannheim.
Sabine Carey presented her ongoing work at the Politics Lecture Series at the Humboldt University Berlin. She also met with PhD students and postdocs to talk about their research.
Sabine Carey will participate at the Workshop “Wissenschaft meets Außenpolitik” Deutsche Außenpolitik aus der Sicht der Internationalen Beziehungen on 21/22 March 2024. She will contribute to a panel on civil war and fragile states. The workshop is jointly organized by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik, the SCRIPTS Cluster at the Free University of Berlin and the University of Zürich.
Sabine Carey will give a guest lecture at the Challenges in Advanced Democracies (CHAD) Research Group at the Department of Comparative Politics, University of Bergen, on 6th March 2024. She will present her work on perceptions of the police in Northern Ireland, co-authored with Marcela Ibanez (University of Zurich), Eline Drury Løvlien (NTNU), and Marie-Therese Meye (University of Mannheim).
Sabine Carey presented her ongoing research at the Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin in November 2023. This study investigates how shared community background with police officer and the context of policing shape views of the police in Northern Ireland.
Sabine Carey participated in a roundtable on the war in Ukraine, organised by the University of Mannheim on 7 March 2023. The roundtable was moderated by Thomas Fetzer (Law) and included besides Sabine Carey Philipp Gassert (Contemporary History), Marc Helbling (Sociology) and Eckhard Janeba (Economics).
Sabine Carey is presenting a joint project with Anita Gohdes and Neil Mitchell at the 6th International Conference on the Political Economy of Democracy and Dictatorship (PEDD) at the University of Münster, 23-25 February 2023. This project asks whether auxiliary armed forces help leaders stay in power. Initial results suggest that while pro-government militias in general do not contribute to leadership tenure, leaders that can rely on auxiliary forces that are directly connected to them stay in power for longer than those without a direct link to such armed group. A direct link seems to signal loyalty more effectively than co-ethnic or co-religious militia forces.
On 25 January 2023 Sabine Carey presented a joint research project with Christian Gläßel and Katrin Paula at the Hamburg Empirical Political Science Seminar Series. The study is part of the post-conflict perceptions project. It investigates how anti-government radio in the Terai region of Nepal shaped attitudes towards the police, peaceful activism and perceived chances of future peace several years after the radio ceased transmission.
Sabine Carey gave the keynote lecture at the annual conference of Rotary International, which was held on 12 November in Mannheim. In this lecture, she discussed “unintended consequences” of various tools designed to prevent the use of state repression.
Sabine Carey presented initial insights from a joint project with Jürgen Brandsch at the School of Global & Public Affairs at IE Madrid on 4 December 2020. The project evaluates how borderization affects individuals’ perceptions of their personal security.
Using data from a face-to-face survey based on a random sample of over 2,000 respondents across Georgia, we ask whether respondents see the insecurity of Georgia’s borders as a severe risk to their personal security. We evaluate whether differences in perceptions are related to whether respondents live close to an administrative borderline, whether the type of borderline makes a difference (comparing the borderlines to Abkhazia versus South Ossetia), and whether the perceptions are related to the type of media they use as their main news source.
Sabine Carey presented joined work with Belén González and Christian Gläßel at the research seminar at the Department of Political Science, University of Oslo on 27 September 2019. It builds on the research on the perception of peace in Sri Lanka.
Prof. Carey was invited to participate in the workshop ‘PREVIEW Prediction and Early Warning Workshop’. It takes place at the German Federal Foreign Office, 29-30 January 2019. She presents an overview of the Pro-Government Militias Database and the new Militias Guidebook, and contributes to discussions on how scientists and political decision makers can better work together to improve early warning processes and outcomes.
RATE (Repression and the Escalation of Violence) is a research project aimed at explaining the escalation and non-escalation of repression and intra-state armed conflict.
