Background and Scientific Contributions

Christian Albrekt Larsen's research has focused primarily on the way in which open economies and multicultural societies maintain their cohesiveness. His research results suggest that the Nordic welfare model still holds the best response to this challenge.

In his book "The institutional logic of welfare attitudes: How welfare regimes influence public support " (Ashgate 2006, PhD thesis) Christian Albrekt Larsen examined how institutions in universal welfare systems create and maintain support for the fight against poverty. His book "The rise and fall of social cohesion. Constructing and de-constructing social trust in the US, UK, Sweden and Denmark" (Oxford University Press, 2013, higher doctoral thesis) examined how the institutional structures also affect the mutual trust between people. This book is based on empirical data from Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States in the shape of questionnaire surveys regarding trust, economic inequality and perceptions of marginalised groups such as poor people and immigrants. Moreover, it includes a unique study of how poverty and the poor were described in Danish, Swedish and British media in the period from 2004 to 2009.

In a Danish context, Christian Albrekt Larsen has addressed the following topics:
