Stefan Stojkovic, a PhD researcher in the DANGER project, attended the Conflict Dynamics workshop in Burghausen, Germany. He presented his manuscript on the role of ethnic geography and prewar political preferences in wartime pogroms against civilians. His research demonstrates that prewar inter-ethnic cooperation can act as a safeguard against political violence. This manuscript is part of Stefan's PhD project, which investigates how local ethnic geography influences democratic stability in interwar Europe.
