Primære forskningsområder
My research focuses on China's authoritarian governance, particularly on intergovernmental relations in the Chinese party-state, and state-society relations.
Main research topics include:
- Local and grassroots governance
- Urbanization, migration, rural development, and land politics
- Political economy of culture, propaganda, and censorship
I am steering group member of the Asian Dynamics Initiative at the University of Copenhagen, and editor-in-chief of The Copenhagen Journal of Asian Studies.
Aktuel forskning
In the project "Steering urban-rural integration: Administrative reconficguration for a unified citizenship" (2018-2023) (co-led with René Trappel, Freiburg, funded by the German Research Foundation), I investigate the transformation of rural China through urbanization and housing (and resettlement) politics in semi-urban areas. Main focus lies on the consequences of these politics for state-society relations and grassroots politics. Fieldwork for this project was conducted mainly in Gansu and Zhejiang Provinces.
In the project "Social Worlds: China's cities as spaces of worldmaking"(since November 2020) (co-led with Björn Alpermann, Würzburg), I look more closely at the evolving social relations in China's new urban spaces, and I take a comparative perspective on China's urbanization and its interconnectedness with global capitalist developments.
Undervisnings- og vejledningsområder
My courses use social science theories and methods to discuss various aspects of China's political system, governance, political economy, and social change. I regularly teach the BA course "Politics/The political economy of contemporary China" (KU and CBS), as well as China-related courses on the MA "Asian Studies".
I supervise BA and MA projects on various aspects of Chinese politics and society. Please contact me directly to discuss your project ideas.
