Publications

Journal articles in international academic journals and book chapters in edited books are the main way in which I communicate my research, although I also often write Policy Briefs or opinion pieces, communicating specific aspects and research insights. Most of my publications are Open Access, either via the journals, the PRIO repository, or on Academia.edu and ResearchGate. But please get in touch if there is a publication which you’d like to have a look at but can’t access.
