Arthur Stein holds a PhD in political science from the Université de Montréal, under the co-direction of Marie-Joelle Zahar and Lee J. M. Seymour. His doctoral research focuses on whether and how the publicity of external support for rebels influences their use of violence against civilians during civil wars. More broadly, his research focuses on the transnational dimensions of civil conflict and violence against civilians. He is mainly interested in internal wars in the Middle East and Africa. Prior to his doctoral studies, he obtained a master’s degree in political science from the Institut d’études politiques de Strasbourg (France). He also interned at the United Nations Office in Geneva (Switzerland) and worked for several months for a humanitarian organization combating child malnutrition in Léogâne (Haiti).
