Mahmoud Youness
Peace Studies & Political Science
Mahmoud is a doctoral candidate writing a dissertation in peace studies and political theory. The dissertation is a comparative study of Ibn Khaldun and Machiavelli. It charts the imaginaries—the affective universes—that the two thinkers inhabited as a preliminary step to compare their work on political stability and its relevance for today’s thinking about peace and politics. It further argues that the understanding of these imaginaries is itself important for understanding and transforming conflict.
