On 1 June, the Department of Government welcomed two new professors of Political Science. Congratulations from all of us at the department to Helena Wockelberg and Nils Hertting!
Helena Wockelberg
Helena Wockelbergs' research interests are public management policy and constitutional politics, with a focus on national executive power and ministry-agency relations. Wockelberg is currently studying central government agencies’ use of private consultants, how agencies prepare for contracting-in consultants, and the effect that the hiring of consultants has on the public ethos.

It relates to theories on deliberative and participative modes of network governance, civil society and ethnic associations, public space, and evaluation and implementation.
