I have lectured and censored at bachelor, masters and PhD levels in political science, public administration, and European Union studies at: • Department of political science and management, University of Agder. • Department of Political Science, University of Oslo. • The Norwegian University of Science and Technology. • Department of Administration and Organizational Science, . • The Norwegian School of Management BI. • School of International Studies, University of Trento, • Utrecht School of Governance, the . • University of Antwerp, • University of Copenhagen, Denmark • University of California, Berkeley • Bratislava, Slovakia.

I am currently involved in a European PhD programme, coordinated at ARENA: “The Post-Crisis Legitimacy of the European Union (PLATO)”, financed by the Horizon 2020 (http://www.plato.uio.no/)

Major research achievements and research areas My H-index is currently 31. The publication record is centred on themes such as governance, organizational theory, political order (trans)formation, European Union studies, and public administration. Publications appear in influential international peer reviewed journals – such as Governance, Public Administration, European Journal of Political Research, European Political Science Review, and others – and I publish with major international press – such as Oxford University Press, Palgrave Macmillan and others.

I have been research leader and research participant within at least three main research areas over several years: (1) The Europeanisation of domestic government institutions. Projects and publications within this research area focus on the Europeanisation (national adaptation) of domestic government institutions and decision-making processes. The studies are comparative diachronic and synchronic with emphasis on central administrations. (2) The

3 transformation of the European executive branch of government. Publications and projects within this research area focus attention towards an emergent common administrative order in Europe through the development of new institutional constellations and configurations. This line of research emphasizes new patterns of integration of public administration and how it contributes to transform the branch of executive government. 3) International Public Administration (IPA). Publications and research projekcts within this area aim at specifying conditions under which IPA may enjoy independence from member-state governments. This research interest also aims to build bridges between studies in public administration and international relation. From the point of view of public administration, a public administration turn has come to characterize studies of international organization.

Research projects

During my career most of my research has been externally funded. My future research ambitions are also consistently to attract research grants. I am currently co-coordinator of four research projects:

- “EURODIV - Integration and division: Towards a segmented Europe?” (Financed by the Research Council of Norway’s research initiative ‘Europe in Transition’ (EUROPA), 2013-2018), - “TARN - The Academic Research Network on Agencification of EU Executive Governance” (Jean Monnet Network funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, 2015-2018), - “Differentiated integration in the European Union after ‘Brexit’” (UACES funded Collaborative Research Network - Network Coordinators: Benjamin Leruth, Stefan Gänzle and Jarle Trondal), and - “Governance in Turbulent Times” (Financed by succeeding Peder Sather Grants from University of California, Berkeley).

I have previously been involved in national and international research collaboration projects:

- I participated in a large scale research survey on the Europeanisation of the central administration of Norway. This project runs every 10th. year. It started in 1976 with the major Norwegian “Power Study”, and continued in 1986, 1996 and 2006. Currently the project is re-launched with the 2016 study. The project has been financed by the

4

Norwegian Research Council, the ARENA programme, the Meltzer Foundation, and the Universities in Norway. The project has been directed over the years by the Professors Johan P. Olsen, Tom Christensen, Morten Egeberg and Per Lægreid, and me. The project has centred on a large scale survey study of the Norwegian central administration.

- I have completed several interlinked research projects on EU committee governance, in collaboration with Professor Morten Egeberg (ARENA), Professor Guenther Schaefer (European Institute of Public Administration), Professor Frode Veggeland (University of Oslo), Professor Jan Beyers (University of Antwerp), and Professor Thomas Christiansen (Maastricht University). These projects were financed by the ARENA programme, by the IDNET programme (see below), and by the European Institute of Public Administration. These projects combined the development of middle-range organisation theories on decision-making behaviour, role behaviour and identity change, quantitative survey studies and qualitative interview studies of civil servants attending EU committees.

- I participated as researcher in ‘EUROTRANS - The Transformation and Sustainability of European Political Order’ (Norwegian Research Council, 2007-2012). (2008-2013): Main aim: To understand the emergence and sustainability of European political order. Main research collaborator: Professor Morten Egeberg.

- I participated as researcher in ‘CONNEX – The Network of Excellence on efficient and democratic governance in the European Union’, funded under the EU Sixth Framework Programme of Research (2004-2008).

- I participated as researcher in the IDNET research programme (Europeanization, Collective Identities and Public Discourses) from 1999 to 2002, co-ordinated by Professor Thomas Risse (Free University Berlin). IDNET was a thematic network founded under the European Union’s Fifth Framework Programme. My research in this project focused on developing middle-range social constructivist and neo-

5

institutionalist theories to account for the transformation of organisational dynamics and individual identities within domestic government systems.

- I was the Principal Investigator of the ‘The Agency Phenomenon in the European Union’ (2009-2011). This project provided a comprehensive analysis of the agency phenomenon in the European Union. The project included the following research collaborators at the time: Post-doctoral Fellow Madalina Busuioc (the Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance (ACELG), ), Prof. Deirdre Curtin (the University of Amsterdam and Director of the Amsterdam Centre of European Law and Governance (ACELG), Jean Monnet Prof. Renaud Dehousse (the Institut d'Études Politiques in Paris (‘Sciences Po’), and Director of the European Centre), and Ass.Prof. Martijn Groenleer (Delft University of Technology).

- I was the Principal Investigator of ‘DISC – Dynamics of International Executive Institutions’, Financed by the Norwegian Research Council under the “FRIPRO” grants (2003-2009). This project contributed with a comparative study of the autonomy of international bureaucracies. Research collaborators: Prof. Martin Marcussen (University of Copenhagen), Associate Prof. Torbjorn Larsson (University of Stockholm), Prof. Frode Veggeland (University of Oslo), Post-doctoral Fellow Caspar Van den Berg (Leiden University), and Post-doctoral Fellow Semin Suvarierol (Utrecht School of Governance).

- I participated as researcher in ‘RECON Research Programme’ (“Reconstituting in Europe”), an Integrated Project financed by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme) (2007-2011). I contributed with a project on EU-level agencification.

- The most recent research project has been ‘The Rise of Common Political Order (COMPOL)’. The ambition of COMPOL is to advance comprehensive and ground- breaking knowledge on the sustainability of the European political order – both as regards its major causes and consequences. The project was financed by a basic research grand from the Ugland Industries (2013-2016).
