Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Waehlisch is an associate professor and practitioner with nine years of focused experience designing peace processes, national dialogues, and conflict-prevention programs across the Middle East and beyond. He blends academic rigour (Dr. jur. in public international law and visiting fellowships at Cambridge, Durham, Columbia and The Hague) with a decade-long UN and field advising track record, including innovation work at the UN’s Innovation Cell on human–machine systems. Martin’s work spans teaching, policy design and mediation support—from drafting constitutional and ceasefire frameworks to coaching negotiating delegations and crafting normative frameworks for systemic change. He holds concurrent academic and research appointments across prominent European and US institutions, evidencing a rare capacity to translate scholarly insight into operational peacebuilding. Notably, his profile marries speculative design and new technologies with traditional peacemaking, signaling a forward-looking approach to mediation in digitally mediated conflicts. Based in New York with strong ties to UK and European institutions, he is a sought-after adviser who moves fluidly between high-level policy, field practice, and education.
