About Linus
- Engelsk beskrivning
- Linus Hagström is Professor of Political Science (since 2015). He is an editorial board member of Pacific Affairs, Journal of Peace and War Studies, Journal of Northeast Asian History and Bristol University Press' East Asian International Relations series. Hagström's research revolves around identity, power and international security, including the role of discourse, narrative and discipline. He is also interested in methods for constructing research puzzles and the question how to motivate research contributions. Empirically, he is focused on East Asian international politics, but also does research on great power politics and security policy involving Sweden. Hagström has recently published articles in European Journal of International Relations, Australian Journal of Politics & History, Contemporary Security Policy, Social Science Japan Journal, International Studies Quarterly, Social Science Japan Journal, Cooperation and Conflict, The International Spectator, Life Writing, Review of International Studies, Cambridge Review of International affairs, International Studies Review, Journal of Japanese Studies, Survival, European Political Science and Washington Quarterly, and European Journal of International Relations, and edited special issues for Asian Perspective, The Pacific Review and Cambridge Review of International Affairs. Hagström has also edited the Swedish textbook Att forska: praktiker och roller inom samhällsvetenskapen (with Niklas Bremberg and Arita Holmberg). He currently teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and supervises two PhD students.
