Presentation

My primary theoretical interests lie within institutional theory and discursive instititutionalism. More speecifically I am interested in how ideas develop over time and after crises, and I am working on a theoretical approach able to capture both paradigmatic and more incremental forms of ideational change. Empirically I do work on the financial crisis 2007-, analysing how decision makers in smaller open economies in the Western world (not least Denmark) handled the uncertainty brought on by the crisis. In July 2012 I begin my project on ''Small States in the Perfect Storm'' (funded by Carlsbergfondet).

Primary research areas

• The role of ideas in politics
• Post crisis financial regulation
• The Danish financial crisis
