information see, www.humangeo.su.se Research My research interests lie broadly within the field
of economic geography and urban development. I am studying local and global
processes, regional development, knowledge intensive economic activities,
knowledge development and the role of organisations, institutions, labour and
agency for economic change. The geography I am trying to understand is about
how places are related in wider multi-local networks of economic activities.
This leads my research work into questions about globalization processes,
flows, interactions and mobility. Coordinator for
the Research profile: Urban and economic geography – global and local
processes. This research profile studies urban space-economies
from a wide perspective including relations to economic, political, social
and cultural spheres. Local and global processes and structures are studied
and analysed. Economic structures and systems for provisioning in particular
localities evolve differently depending on external relations and processes
globally. In this research profile we aim a main interest towards relations,
networks and flows. Research projects Swedish Cities in “the Spaces of Flows”: National,
European and Global Networks. Funding: The Swedish Research Council Formas
This research project has been developed from the core idea that
spaces of flows have becomes basic processes and elements in the development
of cities and in the development of the space-economy. The argument by
Castells (1996) is that networks are the basic morphology in our contemporary
society. This research project aims to contribute with empirical research
about the spaces of flows of cities in Sweden. The global
knowledge economy – relations and flows in the ICT sector between India and
Europe Funding: Forum for Asian Studies, Stockholm University This research
project is about the internationalization of ICT firms and with a particular
focus on Indian ICT firm with foreign direct investments in Sweden and in
other countries in Europe. Eco-networks for
eco-innovations and a green economy Funding: Faculty for social studies, Stockholm University This research project is about innovations (eco-innovations) for
