Faradj Koliev

I work at the intersection of international relations and comparative politics, with a focus on human rights, international organizations, and authoritarian politics.

My research has appeared in International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Peace Research, Nature Climate Change, Public Opinion Quarterly, among other journals.

Previously, I served as a Member of the Swedish Parliament for the Social Democratic Party. I remain politically active in Solna, where I live.
