(MENAFN- The Conversation) Visiting Research Fellow in International Studies, Queen's University Belfast Profile Articles Activity

Dr Hargy holds a PhD and MA from Queen's University Belfast. Externally, he is the Co-Convenor of the Political Studies Association of Ireland's“Specialist Peace and Conflict Group” and the Irish Association of American Studies ECR Caucus Chair.

Dr Hargy's research background is in contemporary Irish history and politics. He is particularly interested in the impact that aligning external influence to ethnic conflict has in conflict resolution. His current research examines the continuing role of United States third-party intervention in the post-conflict, though still deeply entrenched ethno-nationalist impasse in Northern Ireland. During Dr Hargy's time at Queen's University Belfast and the Mitchell Institute he was a Research Assistant to Harvard University's Professor Melani Cammett for her new book project, Toleration. This focused on how communities reconstruct social relations in the wake of violent ethnic conflict in Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Lebanon.

Richard is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Ethnic Conflict at Queen's University Belfast.
