Biography

Dr Aliyev joined the University of Glasgow in 2017. Before arriving to Glasgow, he was a Research Fellow at the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, University of Oxford. From 2015 to 2017, Dr Aliyev was based at the Research Center for Eastern European Studies (Forschungsstelle Osteuropa), University of Bremen, where he worked as Alexander von Humboldt Post-Doctoral researcher. Dr Aliyev also worked as Lecturer in Area Studies and Global Security Studies at the Department of Political Science, University of Bremen. His post-doctoral project was published as a book in 2017 by the University of Michigan Press ("When Informal Institutions Change. Institutional Reforms and Informal Practices in the former Soviet Union"). This book project is based on extensive fieldwork in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. 

Dr Aliyev earned his Ph.D in Political Science in 2014 from the University of Otago, New Zealand. His doctoral dissertation examined the impact of Soviet institutional legacy on post-communist civil society in the broader Caucasus region. This project was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2015 ("Post-Communist Civil Society and Soviet Legacy"). Dr Aliyev also has a joint Master degree in Humanitarian Action from Ruhr University Bochum and Uppsala University.

Dr Aliyev's current research interests are civil war dynamics, non-state armed groups, violent mobilisation, radicalisation and demobilisation of armed groups. He also has expertise in security and law enforcement structures of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, ethno-nationalism and institution-building. 

Dr Aliyev's area expertise is Ukraine and Russia (particularly the North Caucasus region). Since 2015, he has conducted extensive fieldwork in Ukraine, interviewing former and active members of pro-government paramilitary groups.

From 2022 to 2024, Dr Aliyev was Principal Investigator on a two and a half-year long ESRC-funded research project “From Russia with War: Mobilisation of Foreign Fighters in the former Soviet Union.” Please, see more details about the project here: "From Russia with War".
