About me
Rongsheng is a doctoral candidate at the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University. He is working with the research project "Democracy, Autocracy, and International Cooperation (DEMCOOP)" led by Jonas Tallberg.
His research interests include autocratization, power politics, the crisis of liberal international order, and contestations of liberal norms. In his PhD dissertation, he plans to investigate how power politics and global autocratization jointly shape international cooperation — with particular attention on how state's power position conditions autocratization's impact on international cooperation, and the distinct effect of great power's autocratization.
Before his PhD, Rongsheng has worked as research assistant in the project "Hiding in plain sight: International monitoring missions in authoritarian regimes" led by Faradj Koliev at Stockholm University.
