About Andreas Bågenholm

Presentation

Andreas Bågenholm, Ph.D. is a Senior Lecturer, a Research Fellow and Assistant Head of Department at the Department of Political Science. He is the Program Manager at the Quality of Government Institute and was previously also the Project Manager for the EU financed ANTICORRP project.

Area of interests

My research is mainly about corruption, accountability, elections and political parties and more specifically how corruption affects both citizens’ voting behavior and political parties’ electoral performance. To what extent and under what conditions voters punish corrupt politicians and parties and corruption-ridden government manage to survive as well as the electoral performances of parties that politicize corruption (so called Anti-corruption parties) in comparison with parties that do not, are three questions that interest me. Another area of research interest is the extent and type of corruption in Sweden in the 19th century.

Right now I am working in a project on whistle blowing in political parties and another one, financed by the EU Commission, on the anti-corruption work in Sweden.

In 2026, I will start working in a research program on corruption and environmental degradation.

Teaching and tutoring

I teach mainly on comparative politics, democratization and political systems. I am responsible for a ten-week undergraduate course on the political science program.
