GETGOV-project

Welcome!

I am currently a Postdoc working on the GETGOV-project at the University of Oslo. Previously, I worked at Stockholm University, where I continue to be a member of the DEMCOOP-project. I received a PhD for my dissertation “Patterns of minister turnover across regime types” from the University of Oslo 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 in journals such as Perspectives on Politics, Democratization, Political Studies, and Political Research Quarterly.
