The project COUNSTER aims to explain why, how, and when governments target the constituents of non-state armed actors (NSAAs), and what determines the success or failure of these government-constituency relations as a strategic tool in counterinsurgency.
Welcome to the official page of COUNSTER, a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator project hosted at Bilkent University for five years.
Follow us to keep up with the project's research, fieldwork, and findings, and keep an eye out for the launch of our website.
Today, I successfully my thesis titled “The Golden Snitch: The Status-Seeking Strategies of Second-Tier States, The Cases of Canada, South Africa, and India”.
I would like to thank to my dear supervisor Tudor A. Onea for his guidance and to the jury committee members @skostem & Meliha Benli Altunışık for their valuable feedback.
