Research Interests: Dr. Kronlund focuses on US foreign/domestic politics, UN legitimacy, multilateralism, war/emergency powers, and Nordic policy. Her work bridges institutional analysis and transnational governance, particularly examining how states like the US engage with global norms. Current projects explore Nordic perspectives on the UN and the evolving role of political science in legislative debates.
Articles Trends: Recent publications address Nordic countries’ UN confidence dynamics, human rights frameworks in global governance, and US congressional debates on political science’s role. These studies highlight tensions between state interests and multilateralism, as well as the politicization of academic disciplines in legislative contexts.
