DEMCOOP-project

Welcome!

I am currently a Postdoc working on the DEMCOOP-project at Stockholm University. Previously, I worked at the University of Oslo, where I received a PhD for my dissertation “Patterns of minister turnover across regime types” in 2024.

My current research focuses primarily on the effects of regime type on international cooperation, the interplay of political institutions and elites, and autocratic politics. My research has been published or is forthcoming in journals such as Perspectives on Politics, Democratization, Political Studies, and Political Research Quarterly.
