Short presentation
I am Associate Professor at the Department of Government, Uppsala University. My research and teaching mainly focuses on International Politics and - in particular - political violence.
I am also responsible for two datasets: first, how armed conflicts end (UCDP CONFLICT TERMINATION DATA), second, information about individual mediators in armed conflicts and lethal militarized interstate disputes (M-IND DATA). See www.mind-data.org
