About Malin Hasselskog

Associate Professor in Peace and Development Research

I started my undergraduate studies in International Relations and Global Development Studies in 1991 and received a doctoral degree in Peace and Development Research in 2009. I also hold a degree in Journalism from the University of Gothenburg and a degree in Education from Linköping University and have in addition studied History and Political Science.

Between 1997 and 2000, I worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Cambodia, and I have done occasional assignments as a short-term election observer for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

Research

Most of my research focuses on international development cooperation, particularly the aid relationship and the relations and dynamics that emerge among local, national, and international actors as different kinds of development interventions are designed and implemented.

Areas of interest: International and national development policy and politics, Aid relations, National ownership, Local participation, Cambodia, Rwanda
