My current main research focus is on the relations between the neutral states of Europe and the Soviet Union between 1960 and the end of the Cold War. This five-year research project is entitled Neutrality and the Kremlin: A Transnational History and conducted within Pro Futura Scientia, a post-doctoral programme for leading research funded by the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences and hosted by the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in Uppsala. My first book Ambassadors of Realpolitik: Sweden, the CSCE, and the Cold War was published by Berghahn Books (New York/Oxford) in 2016. My second monograph European Small States and the Role of Consuls in the Age of Empire was published by Brill in December 2019. The edited volume The Soviet Union and Cold War Neutrality and Nonalignment in Europe on Soviet-Neutral relations during the Cold War appeared in the Harvard Cold War Studies Book Series (together with Mark Kramer and Peter Ruggenthaler) in 2021. I have more recently developed an interest in migration history, in particular the securitization of migration.
