Welcome to my website. I hold the August Röhss Chair in Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. I specialize in comparative politics, political economy, and political history.
I am currently the principal investigator in the project Public Services in Comparative and Historical Perspective. Next year, I will move on to a new project called The Political Consequences When Jobs Disappear.
My most recent article is Historical Immigration Policies: Trends and Lessons (with Margaret Peters, Frida Boräng, Sara Kalm, and Adrian Shin).
My most recent book is Inward Conquest: The Political Origins of Modern Public Services (with Ben Ansell).
My most recent publication in Swedish is Budgetprocessen i det finanspolitiska ramverket (SOU 2023:93).
