I am a Swedish politician, writer and political scientist. Since 2022, I have represented Uppsala County in the Riksdag, Sweden’s national parliament, where I serve on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I am a member of the Moderate Party (Moderaterna), a liberal-conservative party.
My elected work began in local and regional politics in Uppsala. I served as a regional councillor for six years before moving to national politics.
Before entering politics, I spent many years studying and analysing politics and security. I hold a PhD in political science from Uppsala University, where I also taught and carried out research. I later worked as a security policy analyst at the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and as director of the think tank Stockholm Free World Forum (Frivärld). Alongside my political work, I am also a freelance writer.
My work brings together political ideas and current affairs. I write about Sweden, Europe and international politics, with particular attention to security, foreign policy and the forces shaping our societies. I am interested in explaining not only what is happening, but why it matters—and in setting today’s debates in a wider political and historical context.
I live in Uppsala, a university city north of Stockholm. This website brings together my writings and news. You can find essays in both Swedish and English on Substack, and follow my work on social media.
