I am Associate Professor (Docent) at the Department of Political Science and Director of the Quality of Government Institute, University of Gothenburg.

My research focuses on:
- how public bureaucracies are organized around the world. I am PI of the QoG Expert Survey on bureaucratic structures and bureaucratic behaviour in countries across the world and across Russia's regions;
- Causes and effects of authonomous (Weberian) bureaucracies
- State capacity conceptualization and measurment
- Institutional sequencing: state capacity and democratization
- Long-term effects of state capacity on tax revenue and tax compliance
- Effects of New Public Management reforms
- Women political representation in authocratic regimes
- African politics: here and here
I have published on these and related topics in Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Governance, Public Administration, the European Journal of Political Research, Environment and Planning C and Journal of East African Studies.
Please see my CV for a more detailed overview of my publications and previous and current projects.

Under my supervision more than 45 students have succesfully defended their MA dissertions at the University of Gothenburg. I also supervise BA students and doctorants.
