Biography

Jesper Lund Jørstian is a PhD Fellow at the University of Southern Denmark, focusing on contemporary political history and intellectual history, particularly in relation to the history of capitalism. His PhD dissertation explores the development of the Danish shipping policy framework from 1975 to 2010, specifically the 'space exception' that led to the establishment of regulatory frameworks beneficial to Danish shipping companies. This includes significant events such as the enactment of the Danish International Ship Register in 1988 and the tonnage tax scheme introduced in 2002. Jørstian's research also addresses environmental regulations and the rise of the offshore economy within the maritime sector, as well as the emergence of the concept 'The Blue Denmark.' His academic background includes a Master of Arts in History, with electives in Philosophy from the University of Copenhagen. He is actively involved in guest lectures and participates in academic events, which enhance his contributions to the field.
