Research profile
In my research, I am engaged in various questions in the fields of public policy and political economy. One focal point is comparative welfare state research, particularly the influence of political parties and interest groups on the transformation and restructuring of European welfare states. Connected to this, research on party politics represents another central field of investigation. A particular focus in this context is on social democracy and the current crisis it faces. Besides Germany, the Nordic countries, especially Sweden, form a regional focus of my empirical research.
