In a new book, Haakon Gjerløw, Carl Henrik Knutsen, Tore Wig and Matthew C. Wilson challenge conventional wisdom. Building state institutions before democratisation does not help long-term economic development, after all
Haakon’s research focuses on political institutions, domestic politics, mass-mobilisation, and human development.
He also has an interest in data collection and discovering new empirical evidence to test existing theories in comparative politics and political economy.
