Biography

Umed Partov holds a BA in Business Administration and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Montana. Umed has advanced his career in a number of academic and multilateral institutions such as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Center for Central and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Montana, and the World Bank Group’s Global Partnership for Education. Umed is a freelance analyst on security and politics of Central Asia with the Jamestown Foundation. His primary focus areas include conflict early warning and prevention, de-radicalization, counter-terrorism, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), NATO, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

During his PhD studies at S-CAR, Umed aims to study the role of non-violent religious identity in countering violent extremism and its impact on political-economy of terrorism. He believes that academic research on counter terrorism is in its infancy stage; perhaps this is why the international community has failed to address and fully understand this phenomenon. In his opinion, S-CAR has prominent scholars and the largest network of professionals in peacebuilding field, which is an invaluable asset for his academic development and research.
