About Pavol Jakubec

2009, MA, Charles University (Prague), History & Norwegian

2024, PhD, Gothenburg, History

I earned my PhD with a thesis discussing the management of relationships that have emerged between selected governments-in-exile during the Second World War (Navigating relationships in exile : Norway, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and small state diplomacy in Second World War London). 

I am interested in all things diplomatic, including their cultural aspects, International Relations theory, international organizations, political exiles, and European and Middle Eastern history (particularly Afghanistan, Lebanon). As instructor, I teach Modern/International History (19th.-20th Century), often with focus on the Second World War, or on specific regions (Balkans/Eastern Mediterranean, Central Europe, Scandinavia), I contribute to the European Studies Programme and am affiliated with the Center for European Studies as well.
