Welcome to my website

My name is Andreas (Jon Ingmar) Fagerholm and I am a researcher in political science (comparative politics).

My current research is mainly focused on political parties (as actors in elections, legislatures and governments). I am also interested in political methodology (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods) and in the history and philosophy of political science.

My hobbies include, in no particular order, travelling, groundhopping, hiking, nature & fishing, cooking & food, science, history, militaria, and railways & trainspotting (esp. tram and rapid transit systems).

I do not use social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.). If you want to contact me, send an e-mail.

I am also obsessed with making lists, so here is one of my three most recently read books:

Stranne, Frida and Parsi, Trita:
Drömmen om den amerikanska freden (Ordfront, 2023)

— On USA.

Vihavainen, Timo:
Kansakunta rähmällään (Otava, 1991)

— On Finlandisation.

Andreassen, Bengt-Ove, Roald E. Kristiansen and Rolf Inge Larsen, eds:
Læstadianismens historie i Norge (Orkana Akademisk, 2024)

— On Laestadianism in Norway.
