Bertil Nygren serves as an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Stockholm University's Department of Political Science. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science in 1984 and attained Associate Professor status in 1993, establishing a long-standing academic career focused on international security and relations.
Dr. Nygren's research centers on security strategy, international relations, and the political dynamics of Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. His scholarly work examines how Russia strategically employs its resource wealth, particularly energy resources like natural gas, as instruments of foreign policy to maintain influence over former Soviet republics. He applies theoretical frameworks such as neo-classical realism to analyze both the capabilities and intentions behind Russian foreign policy decisions, arguing that understanding what states want to do is as important as analyzing what they can do based on resources alone.
His publications reveal consistent scholarly contributions to understanding energy politics and geopolitical strategies in post-Soviet space, with particular attention to how resource policies serve as tools for regional reintegration. Dr. Nygren's work provides critical insights into the intersection of economic resources and political power in contemporary international relations.
