Rasmus Broms is an Associate Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. His academic work focuses on institutions, local accountability, and municipal administration, with particular emphasis on elder care policy and new public management approaches in the Swedish context.
His research spans several key areas including institutional quality, public procurement, political economy, and the resource curse theory. Dr. Broms has conducted extensive research on Swedish municipal administration, particularly examining how structural reforms impact welfare services, with a special focus on elder care. His work also explores the relationship between taxation and government quality, as well as the long-term effects of historical institutional arrangements on contemporary governance.
Dr. Broms' recent publications reveal a strong focus on the intersection of public administration and healthcare policy, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on Swedish elder care facilities. His research demonstrates how provider ownership models, organizational structures, and marketization affect service quality in residential care settings. He has also made significant contributions to understanding the relationship between political competition and public procurement outcomes, as well as the long-term institutional legacies of religious and colonial histories.
Dr. Broms has secured research funding from the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (FORTE) for multiple projects, including 'Ready to serve? Structural reform, institutional quality, and welfare services in Swedish municipalities' and research on the effects of COVID-19 in Swedish residential elder care. Previously, he conducted research funded by the Swedish Research Council international postdoc grant on the institutional resource curse, with fieldwork conducted at Duke University. He has also been involved in projects examining performance audits and public procurement within the framework of 'Out of Control or Over Controlled? Incentives, Audits and New Public Management.'
