Research
In recent years, my research has primarily focused on:
- the drivers and conditions for inter-municipal collaboration,
- the organization and governance of municipal and regional development policy, and
- challenges in collaboration between public actors and the business sector in the area of vocational education.
Previously, I have also conducted research on the governance and organization of research and innovation policy. My research is informed by theoretical perspectives emphasizing the importance of institutions in shaping and organizing public policy and administration. I conduct my research at the Division of Political Science within the Department of Management and Engineering (IEI) and the Centre for Municipality Studies (CKS).
