About Ingemar Elander

Ingemar Elander is professor emeritus in Political Science at Örebro University. Until autumn 2009 he was co-ordinating the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (CUReS) and its associated research school. As an experienced multi-disciplinary researcher crucial topics cover areas such as multi-level/multi-dimensional governance and democracy including climate change, (un)sustainable development, biological diversity, migration and public health.

Together with sociologist Rolf Lidskog he has published a number of articles and book chapters analysing environmental policy in a comparative perspective highlighting crucial relations between aspects of governance, democracy and securitization. Since 2010 Elander together with human geographer Eva Gustavsson (Örebro University) published a number of articles on the role of local government in the quest for sustainable development; with political scientist Charlotte Fridolfsson (Linköping University) reports, articles and book chapters originally inspired by cooperation in a major European research program on faith-based organizations and social exclusion in European cities (FACIT); and with senior ecologist Ulf Sandström articles on potentially ”green” local politics.

Recent and current research efforts with political science colleagues Mikael Granberg and Stig Montin focus on aspects of securitization, counter-securitization, and in-securitization of politics in the "perfect storm" of more or less overlapping crises like climate change, ecological collapse, migration and religious conflicts (Elander, Granberg & Montin 2022; Eimermann & Elander 2024; Johansson & Elander in press).
