Peter Jakobsen

Short presentation

Although I have a broad interest in Human Geography, my main fields of interest revolve around political geography, political economy, and geographical thought. My current research is about the development from radical to critical geography in the Nordic countries. It aims at presenting a historical-geographical analysis of this development, and its relation to deeper developments in social history, including changes in political and economic structures, both within and outside Nordic academia.
