Media appearances

I often give interviews to Danish, Norwegian, and international media, and I am occasionally writing analyses, comments, or blogs. Furthermore, data on governments from the WhoGov-dataset is regularly used by media around the world. Below you can find links to a snippet of selected articles and interviews where I appear, sorted by topics.

For media interview requests or requests to give a public lecture, please e-mail me, send a text message, or contact me on Twitter. I am not always great at answering phone calls.
