Jerome Drevon
Jerome Drevon is senior analyst on Jihad and Modern Conflict at the International Crisis Group (ICG) and research associate at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID). Jerome received his PhD from Durham University before securing two fellowships at the University of Oxford and the University of Manchester. He has conducted extensive field research in conflict zones, including Syria, where he interviewed hundreds of jihadi militants and foreign fighters – from their military, political, and religious leaders to their foot soldiers – to gain a deeper understanding of their changing political views in armed conflicts. He is particularly interested in how some jihadis become more pragmatic in armed conflicts.
