She is also Research Associate at the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding, Graduate Institute Geneva.
She has conducted extensive fieldwork in the war-torn and crisis-affected borderlands of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, analysing the relationships among rebels, criminals and paramilitary groups and exploring their impact on citizen security.
Dr Idler's interests as an academic, consultant and practitioner lie at the interface of conflict, security and transnational organised crime, especially drug trafficking as well as terrorism, peace building and governance. She is particularly fascinated by the role that violent non-state groups play in these dynamics.
