Professor Nils Karlson is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics, Uppsala University, and is the Founding President and CEO of the Ratio Institutet, an independent, private and interdisciplinary research institute in Stockholm, Sweden.

Professor Karlson will explore the relationship between ideology and pragmatism in the promotion of liberty and a free society. What are the limits of pragmatism and when are ideologies, principles and values essential for beneficial institutional change? Examples from both Sweden and Australia will be discussed: has pragmatism or ideology been decisive in the developments of these two countries?
