About me

Hej!

I am Felix, and I am currently a PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. I hold a master’s degree in Political Science from Uppsala University and a bachelor’s degree in Politics and Economics from the University of Potsdam.

Broadly speaking, my main areas of interest are party competition, political behavior, and European integration. In my dissertation, I study the consequences of intra-party divisions for party strategies and voting behavior. Part of that work has recently been published in the Journal of European Public Policy. My other projects cover different aspects of issue competition, especially related to party strategies on European integration and immigration.  Recently, I have started working on a project that examines when parties are responsive to voters across policy issues and when voters reward this responsive behavior.

As a research intern at Uppsala University and during my Master's studies, I have worked on the role of national parliaments in the process of European integration. Part of that work has been published in European Union Politics and the Journal of European Public Policy. 

I supervise Bachelor's and Master's thesis broadly related to my research interests. Students are welcome to reach out. I teach on both levels primarily on subjects related to European integration and political parties.
