Comparative Politics
Citizens at Heart (Medborgare i själ och hjärta)
The aim of this project is to further improve the knowledge regarding the mecanisms of political integration, through a comparative study striving both to describe and explain patterns of integration in a number of European states by combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. The project will be conducted by re-analysing European attitudinal data, focusing both on first- and second generation immigrants and by intensive, qualitative, studies of the Bosnian diaspora in four host societies: Sweden, Britain, Germany and France.

Climate Change Policy
Kunskap och politik (Kupol)
In this project we are interested in the politics of democratic knowledge. Specifically we would like to analyse how knowledge is integrated in political decision-making depending on: different institutional settings, agents involved, and types of problems. Knowledge is here understood as the types of groundwork produced in evaluations, commissions, and follow-ups. Today policy is more evaluated, audited and scrutinized than ever, and this raises at least two questions: Does all this knowledge production result in wiser policy decisions? And is it possible for the political system to handle al
Renewable energy, Institutions, and Organisations in Europe and India
An interdisciplinary research project on renewable energy policies in India (Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Natu) and Europe (Italy, Spain and Sweden). Co-operation between political science and science & technology.
Scandinavian Corporatism at the Crossroad
Corporatism may be seen as variety of capitalism in which specific structural prerequisites such as unionization, centralization, and strong states combined with bargaining and concertation produce certain economic outputs. Corporatism may also be seen as a variety of democracy in which interest groups are integrated in the preparation and/or implementation of public policies. Departing in the last position we measure the strength of Scandinavian corporatism by the involvement of interest groups in public committees, councils, and commissions. Causes and consequences of changes in Scandinavian

Medborgerlig aktivitet, genus och deltagande på arbetsplatsen (MAGDA)
This project is about gender differences in political participation and political engagement in Sweden. It focuses on the following questions: In what way do institutions such as the workplace affect political engagement among women and men? Which factors strengthen - and which factors prevent - the possibilities of equal political participation? These questions will probably also be studied from a comparative perspective. We would like to investigate why political participation in Sweden, and Scandinavia in general, is equal to such a great extent, in comparison with other European countries.

Välfärdsstaten och de nyanlända. Politik för flyktingars bosättning i Sverige, Danmark och Norge
Who gets the right to the city? Governance, resistance and conflict in public space
The purpose of this project, is to analyse the accessibility of public space through a comparative study of the governance of the Central Business Districts in Göteborg and Stockholm. Accesibility is crucial for the CBD, particularly for its commercial parts; accessibilty, however, also implies potential problems of different kinds. A central question in this project, motivating is comparative approach, is the role of spatial design and control in the governance of public space and the conflicts and critical accidents emanating from the regulation of the accessibility of the city.
