Dr. Suthan Krishnarajan is Associate Professor in Political Science at Aarhus University. His research agenda seeks to understand and explain political regime instability. Broadly speaking, a political regime is the rules that determine who can access power, and how, in a given country.

I do so from three traditional disciplines in political science: comparative politics, public opinion, and international relations. More»
