Eg. the bullet points are not recognised as bullet points, and therefore do not create a list (in wiki markup bullets are made using asterisks). DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:10, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

Tom Trier is a Danish social anthropologist, EU diplomat and former research director whose work has focused on inter-ethnic relations and minority issues in the South Caucasus and Eastern Europe.[1][2]

Career

Trier holds a cand.scient.anth. (M.Sc) degree in social anthropology. In the late 1990s, he served as the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) Regional Representative for Ukraine, conducting field research in Transcarpathia on Rusyn identity and inter-ethnic relations.[3]

He held several positions at ECMI, like Head of Programmes (2003), Deputy Director (2004), and Regional Director in the Caucasus (2005-2012).[1] In that capacity, he engaged with Georgian authorities and civil society on minority and integration policy. In recent years, he has worked for the EU. As of 2024–2025, he is listed as Head of Office and Political Adviser at the Office of the European Union Special Representative (EUSR)[4] for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, based in Tbilisi.

Research

Trier's research has addressed the politics of ethnicity and displacement in Georgia and its breakaway regions, with studies on Abkhazia and on the repatriation and integration dilemmas[5] facing the deported Meskhetian (Ahıska) Turks.[6] He has also written on Rusyn identity and inter-ethnic relations in Transcarpathian Ukraine[7] and most recently on historical relations between Scandinavia and the South Caucasus.
