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:

Erävalo, Esa:
Yhteinen hyvä: Johdatus kristillisdemokratiaan (Ajatushautomo Kompassi, 2018)

— On Christian democracy.

Demker, Marie:
Religion och politik: Den europeiska kristdemokratins dilemma (SNS Förlag, 1998)

— Study on religion and politics.

Brännström, Johan:
Röd signal (Ordfront, 2021)

— Thiller.
