Om mig

I have been a research assistant, doctoral student and post-doc at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) between 1991 and 2006. I now tutor BA thesis papers at the Department of Sociology each term (as of 2019), on the side of my main commitments as director of a small consultancy firm (the Global Commons Research Group).

Forskning

My research interests deal with welfare state development, comparative democratization and authoritarianism, public finance, public administration, and comparative research on policy interventions against human rights abuses.
