Read more about the project here: https://dff.dk/en/our-funded-projects/meet-the-researchers/research-leaders/eksterne-personer-en/research-leaders-2025/mathias-hein-jessen/ The central objective of the research project is to analyze contemporary contestations over the state-firm boundary as well as mobilizations of analogies between state and firm in projecting political and economic visions. The project analyzes the constitution of the state-firm distinction as well as what it terms contemporary ‘visions of corporate politics’ represented by ideologically distinct answers to the crisis of liberal democracy which both contest the state-firm boundary and mobilize the state-firm analogy to legitimize their vision: On the one hand attempts to democratize or politicize the firm and on the other hand attempts to build political communities on principles of corporate governance. The PhD project will focus on one of the two contemporary visions of corporate politics. Examples of potential research topics: the democratization of the firm; democratic or economic planning; employee ownership; platform cooperativism or socialism; network states; gov-corps; start-up governments; freedom cities. The research conducted will be team-based and oriented towards delivering on the project objectives. Taking the project framework into consideration, applicants are required to outline their reflections on how to approach the study. The position is mainly in-place. The candidate should be able to be regularly present and attend meetings in Copenhagen.
