/ LINNEA BERGHOLM

Linnea Bergholm is a PhD Candidate and EH Carr award holder at the University of Wales (UWA), Aberystwyth. Her thesis looks at the civilian protection capabilities of the African Union Mission in Sudan, Darfur (AMIS) against the background of the turn to a more human security centered African Union that aspires to become the central peacekeeping actor on the African continent. She spent November - December in Darfur, Sudan where she conducted interviews with different sections of AMIS and international humanitarian organizations. At the same time, she was commissioned to evaluate the working relationship on the ground between the Swedish Rescue Services Agency and the African Union with regards to the SRSA medical support to African Union peacekeepers. Ms. Bergholm has a forthcoming chapter on the UN-AU relationship in the Africa Yearbook 2006 (Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers) and in January 2007, the African Affairs Journal (Vol.106,No 422) published her review article ‘Who Can Keep the Peace in Africa?’ She received her MSc from UWA in Critical Security Studies and International Politics and her BA from Södertörn University College, Stockholm, Sweden, in Politics and Spanish.
