We would like to congratulate our visiting fellow, Martin Jacobson, on being awarded Swepsa’s (The Swedish Political Science Association’s) prize for best PhD thesis 2022-2024!

Martin’s thesis, “Land & Liberty: On the Natural Monopoly of Violence,” explores the relationship between geoism and anarchism, arguing that there is a close isomorphism between the territorial authority of states and private land ownership. Congratulations, Martin!
