About Patrik Winton

Patrik Winton a senior lecturer in history with a particular interest in global history, state formation, political economy and financial development in Europe during the early modern period.

Research

Patrik Winton's research has primarily focused on politics and on how the ties between the Scandinavian states and the growing credit markets affected society during the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The research has been funded by Handelsbanken's research foundations, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and the Swedish Research Council. Winton finished his doctoral thesis at Uppsala University in 2006. The thesis focused on political organization in Sweden during the Age of Liberty (1719-1772). Since then he has, among other things, edited an anthology on political culture in Scandinavia during the age of revolution together with Michael Bregnsbo, Pasi Ihalainen and Karin Sennefelt, and published a number of articles on war finance in the Danish and Swedish realms and on the relationships between the Swedish state and the international capital markets in the period 1760-1830. Other contributions have focused on the expansion of credit markets in the Swedish realm during the eighteenth century.
