Whether the distributive role of government in a multi-ethnic context is decisive for peace and conflict in the country. 

Currently, her research focuses on how conflicts are resolved. She plans to explore whether the distributive role of government in a multi-ethnic context is decisive for peace and conflict in the country. The inequitable distribution resulting from the exclusion of other races can easily stimulate resentment and resistance from other racial groups, so she plans to examine whether the costs of conflict and the likelihood of regime overthrow induce a more equal distribution of resources and thus maintain peace.
