Hans Jörgensen serves as Associate Professor in Economic History at Umeå University's Unit of Economic History, located at Samhällsvetarhuset (SAM.D.408) in Umeå, Sweden. His research bridges Scandinavian neutrality policies, Cold War economic intelligence, and Baltic agricultural transformation.
His primary research interests focus on Cold War economic intelligence networks, particularly Swedish business involvement in the East Economic Bureau, and comparative agricultural history examining Soviet collectivization models across Estonia, Hungary, and the Baltics. His work explores land reforms, cooperative movements, and post-Soviet agricultural transitions through rigorous historical analysis.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent focus on three interconnected domains: 1) State-business intelligence collaboration during Cold War neutrality; 2) Divergent agricultural development paths in Soviet-influenced regions; 3) Long-term consequences of land ownership restitution in post-communist states. His methodological approach combines institutional history with quantitative agricultural data analysis.
His current research includes the project Economic Intelligence and Information dissemination: the State, Business and East Economic Bureau during the Cold War (2018-2020), examining how Swedish businesses contributed to economic intelligence gathering about Eastern Europe.
