David Larsson Gebre-Medhin is Associate Senior Lecturer of War Studies, working at the Strategy Division at the Department of War Studies, Swedish Defence University. David holds a PhD in Peace and Conflict Research from Uppsala University. His research interests concern territorial conflict management, legal dispute resolution, and modern conventional land warfare.
David’s research is predominantly based on qualitative methodology, with a focus on comparative case studies, process tracing, archival research, document analysis, and in-depth interviews. While David’s research is mainly focused on theory, he has developed a regional empirical focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and the MENA region. As part of this, David has recurrently provided commentary in domestic and international media on political and military developments in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
His teaching at SEDU focuses on scientific methodology at the Officers’ Programme (bachelor’s level) and the Joint Advanced Command and Staff Programme (master’s level).
David currently serves as Principal Investigator for the research project “Non-Western Conventional Warfare”, funded through a Development Funding Grant from the Swedish Armed Forces Officers Programme (2024-2025). The project investigates modern practices of conventional land warfare outside of the western and great powers contexts.
His research has been published in Journal of International Dispute Settlement, Journal of International Relations and Development, Small Wars and Insurgencies and is forthcoming in Cooperation and Conflict.
