Bo Abraham Mendel Rothstein (born 12 June 1954) is a Swedish political scientist. He currently holds the August Röhss Chair in Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, and is a former Professor of Government and Public Policy at the University of Oxford.
Rothstein is a contributor to Swedish public debate about politics and academic freedom.[citation needed] He has been especially critical of what he perceives as politicized research at some universities in Sweden. In 2003, he received the Swedish Association of University Teachers' prize for academic freedom. Rothstein received the prize for having "in the public debate argued for the importance of independent university teaching and research".[1]
Between 1986 and 1995, Rothstein was an assistant professor at the Department of Government at Uppsala University. In 1992, he became an associate professor there. In 2004, he was awarded a six-year research grant for "long term support to leading scholars" from the Swedish Research Council.[citation needed] In 2009, he received a five-year grant from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the largest private research fund in Sweden. His current research interests are comparative quality of government institutions, social capital, and political corruption. In 2006, he served as a visiting professor at Harvard University.[citation needed] He then taught as a professor at the University of Gothenburg from 1995 to 2015. Together with Sören Holmberg, he is in charge of the Quality of Government Institute at University of Gothenburg. Since 2011, he is a member of the Swedish Government's Advisory Board for Research Policy.[citation needed]
In January 2016, Rothstein moved to England and joined the University of Oxford, where he was also given the title of Professorial Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford.[3] He has been a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation, Cornell University, Harvard University, Collegium Budapest Center for Advanced Study, the Swedish Center for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences, the Australian National University, Stanford University, and the University of Washington.
In 2017, Rothstein resigned from his professorship at the Blavatnik School of Government in protest at its namesake Leonard Blavatnik, due to Blavatnik's donations to Donald Trump.[4] The dean voiced her disappointment with Rothstein's departure, stating that Blavatnik's only donation was to Trump's inaugural committee.[5] Blavatnik had also donated to groups supporting Marco Rubio during the Republican Primaries.[6] Rothstein said that the actions of the Trump administration run contrary to all that he has worked for as has done considerable research on the quality of political institutions, welfare politics, and corruption.[4] In a letter to Oxford's Vice-Chancellor which was made public, he claimed that Oxford had stopped allocated him office space, students, and academic tasks following his protest.[7]
Rothstein returned to Sweden, where he currently holds the August Röhss Chair in Political Science at University of Gothenburg.[8]
According to Google Scholar his scientific publishing has an h-index of 60,[12] which means that he is co-author to at least 60 articles which all are cited at least 60 times.
