    Absent Peace in Colombia: A Study of Transition Discourses in Former Combatants2020In: Peace Economics, Peace Science and Public Policy, ISSN 1079-2457, E-ISSN 1554-8597, Vol. 26, no 4, article id 20190042Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Colombian State and subversive groups have made attempts to build peace by the establishment of accords since the 1980s. Recently, the signature of a peace accord by former president Santos and the FARC-EP leadership in 2016, has come along with changes in the interpretative frameworks of the conflict and the emergence of new institutions, forms of subjectivity and collective meanings around peace. Nowadays, Colombia is in the transition from being a country at war to a peaceful nation. In this transition, the discourse of victims and state representatives about peace and conflict are predominant in the literature. This article characterizes the simultaneously coexisting discourses about peace and conflict in former combatants. We conducted a discourse analysis of 19 semi-structured interviews with former members of paramilitaries and guerrillas. The results are clustered into two categories: absent peace, in which peace is seen as the lack of something that was missed and lost; and the indefinite war, where peace can be hardly imagined due to the permanence of conflict and longevity of violence. The overlooked angle of the narratives of combatants about peace and conflict is discussed, and the findings are suggested as potential guidelines to navigate displaced and divergent accounts of peace and conflict in transition societies.

    Contending Global Apartheid: Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility2023Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Contending Global Apartheid: Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility spells out a plea for utopia in a crisis-ridden 21st century of unequal development, exclusionary citizenship, and forced migrations. The volume offers a collection of critical essays on human rights movements, sanctuary spaces, and the emplacement of antiracist conviviality in cities across North and South America, Europe, and Africa. Each intervention proceeds from the idea that cities may accommodate both a humanistic sensibility and a radical potential for social transformation. The figure of the 'migrant' is pivotal. It expounds the prospect of transversal solidarity to capture a plurality of commonalities and to abjure dichotomies between in-group and out-group, the national and the international, or society and institutions.

    ”…economically and socially. And confidence and decision-making. Everything that we could not do before.”: A Minor Field Study on Fair Trade in India and Sri Lanka2015Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Fair Trade is an international movement which aims to strengthen the livelihoods of producers in the South, and to give the opportunity for conscious customers in the North to buy socially and environmentally friendly products. The conventional trade system is criticised, as well as the efficiency of aid to support developing countries. The core idea of Fair Trade is therefore “Trade not Aid”, where marginalised producers are given the chance to improve their living conditions by fair wages, market access and improved working conditions. The aim of the thesis is to investigate the potential of Fair Trade to contribute to sustainable development and empowerment, which therefore also act as the theoretical frameworks for this thesis. Sustainable development is investigated by its division into economic, social and environmental sustainable development. Fair Trade is furthermore investigated through specific key elements connected to these theories, by performing interviews with managers and producers within five separate Fair Trade organisations in India and Sri Lanka.  The main findings within this study reveal how Fair Trade does have the potential to contribute to sustainable development and empowerment to a certain degree. It is specifically prominent regarding social development and empowerment, while economic development occurs mainly on an individual level. The contribution to environmental development is also possible to detect, even though it remains clear how the initiative to do so might not always be fully related to environmental causes.

    Our Common Sea: Global Environmental Governance and The Marine Stewardship Council Story2019Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Fish. Why do fish matter? Fish are the main source of protein for three billion people on Earth (World Wildlife Fund, 2019), that is roughly 39 percent of the global population (United Nations, 2019, p. 11). Food, in particular, is essential to politics, as it literally fuels the brainpower of mankind. There is power in sustaining this essential resource for generations to come, it is a crucial aspect of the future of food. Power through Sustainability. Focusing on institutions and fishery politics, this research will try to uncover whether or not the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a non-state market-driven (NSMD) organization, holds power in global environmental governance by creating an effective international sustainable fishing regime.

     

    The theories and frameworks utilized stretch across multiple disciplines, such as international relations, sociology, international political theory, economics, ecology, fisheries science, and environmental sciences. To better understand the Marine Stewardship Council this study will focus on the global political economy (GPE) and global environmental governance (GEG), international relations green theory and neoliberal theory, and Elinor Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD), Social-Ecological Systems (SES), and beyond panacea frameworks. The research will try to discover if non-state market-driven governance systems, specifically the Marine Stewardship Council matter in international relations and global politics, employing achieving sustainable global environmental governance goals. Does the MSC influence civil society driven GEG by being an active, international sustainable fishing institution, or is the MSC merely the only feasible option for international fisheries governance?

    Förslag till en metod för uppföljning av det nationella klimatanpassningsarbetet: redovisning av ett regeringsuppdrag2016Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    SMHI har fått i uppdrag att senast den 20 december 2016 redovisa ett förslag på hur det nationella arbetet med klimatanpassning fortlöpande kan följas upp. Uppföljningen ska bland annat ge svar på effekten av det nationella arbetet kopplat till identifierade problem och behov och kunna användas för rapportering till EU och andra internationella organisationer.

    Den föreslagna utvärderingsmodellen består av tre olika delar/block som kan användas var för sig i olika syften men som tillsammans ger en bredare helhetsbild av det svenska klimatanpassningsarbetet. De tre olika delarna är avsedda att svara på tre olika typer av övergripande frågeställningar:

    1. Finns de processer som är nödvändiga för att kunna arbeta med klimatanpassning på plats? I vilken utsträckning har frågan om anpassning integrerats i det svenska förvaltningssystemet?
    1. Vilka åtgärder har implementerats för att minska de negativa effekterna/sårbarheten? Vilka sektorer har man arbetat med och vilka centrala utmaningar och klimateffekter har adresserats/har inte adresserats?
    1. Vilka framsteg kan vi se i arbetet med att minska de negativa effekterna?

    Dessa frågor besvaras med hjälp av processindikatorer, åtgärdsuppföljning och effektindikatorer. Data samlas in via enkäter riktade till nationella myndigheter, länsstyrelser och kommuner. Ett omfattande utvecklingsarbete återstår för att ta fram effektindikatorer för olika sektorer/verksamheter. SMHI föreslår därför att uppdrag utdelas till nationella myndigheter att i samverkan med berörda aktörer utarbeta förslag på effektindikatorer för dessas respektive verksamheter.

    Det är vår slutsats att ett strategiskt nationellt ramverk för klimatanpassning, som sätter uppföljningsprocessen i ett sammanhang, krävs för att säkerställa effektivitet och kontinuitet i det svenska klimatanpassningsarbetet. SMHI föreslår därför, i linje med EU:s klimatanpassningsstrategi, att en nationell policycykel för det svenska klimatanpassningsarbetet etableras. Ett exempel på hur ett sådant ramverk skulle kunna se ut presenteras.

    Smokeless homes: Challenges for Increasing Use of Improved Biomass Cookstoves in Kisumu, Kenya.2018Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In Kenya, 69 percent of populations depend on biomass fuels to meet their cooking needs. The incomplete combustion of biomass is performed in insufficiently ventilated settings thus exposing human health and environment to toxic pollution. To date, women and children in resource limited settings have been most vulnerable to severe respiratory infections. The promotion of the Improved Biomass Cookstoves has become a popular issue in policy, research and practice. Community Based Organizations have however faced serious challenges in increasing sustainable use of the cookstoves among users. This qualitative study investigates the role of Community Based Organizations in promoting the Improved Biomass Cookstoves through women’s empowerment initiatives. It applies focus group interviews, questionnaire and formal interviews. 11 interview forms were administered to 30 women, 2 key informants and 3 implementing Community Based Organization representatives in Dunga wetland community. A combination of previous research and this empirical study show that economic resources, small diameter stove designs as well as insufficient policy support hinder effective stove programmes. While there is general adoption, women lack sufficient income and ownership of land which is a significant resource to empowerment. Women informal financial networks are instrumental in driving behavioral change towards clean cooking in the community. Sufficient gender sensitive policy intervention and support can provide effective channels to ensure sustainable incomes of women, livelihoods and stove use.

    Examining the relationship between women’s descriptive political representation and women’s possibility to participate in civil society across regime types2024In: Journal of Civil Society, ISSN 1744-8689, E-ISSN 1744-8697, p. 1-20Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines the link between women’s representation in national parliaments and their possibility to participate in civil society. Utilizing panel data from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) dataset, covering 1975–2019, we investigate how the presence of women in parliaments influences the possibility for women to participate in civil society, especially in non-liberal democratic settings. The results indicate a positive association post-1990, coinciding with an international emphasis on civil society and a rise in women’s parliamentary representation in both liberal democracies and autocratic regimes. The study however highlights that in hybrid and autocratic regimes, increased female representation can also be used to project a gender-equal image without genuine democratization intentions. These findings suggest a correlation between the increase in women in parliaments and greater opportunities for their participation in civil society, but do not imply that the results reflect processes towards democracy. The findings contribute to understanding women’s possibilities in non-democratic regimes and underscores the need for further qualitative analysis to fully grasp the implications of these trends.

    Digitalising Tax, The Kenyan Way: The Travels and Translations of ITax in Kenya2021Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Kenya, as with other developing countries, has joined the global bandwagon of using digital technologies to increase domestic revenues. Within the new strategies, lie great potential in achieving sustainable development, however, the shift is happening quite rapidly and has been made mandatory within a short period of time. The implications of this shift have prompted this research to analyse how it has shaped tax practices in Kenya. This study addresses the implementation strategies of an e-filings system, ITax in Kenya that was piloted, adopted and made mandatory in a short period of time. ITax as demonstrated in this dissertation has led to complexities including shifting tax expertise from tax consultants to information and communication technology (ICT) experts. I analyse what is at stake for all actors involved from those who commission its use to the taxpayers. I also ana-lyse whether Kenya was prepared economically or infrastructurally for this shift. The outset for this dissertation is models like ITax interface with the different interests of social/institutional worlds as it travels and gets translated generating complex and unintended effects. This study therefore combines postcolonial and technoscientific approaches in order to understand how the current implementation of ITax is connected to colonial development and fiscal rationale. Methodologically, this dissertation contributes to the socio-cultural perspectives to studying tax.

    Information Commons Between Enclosure and Exposure: Regulating Piracy and Privacy in the EU2020In: International Journal of the Commons, E-ISSN 1875-0281, Vol. 14, no 1, p. 494-507Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In the first decade of the 21s century, copyright was high on the political agenda as activists and academics criticised how stricter implementations of copyright laws limited the public access to culture and knowledge and enclosed the information commons. A decade later, streaming media and data mining have changed the information-political agenda, shifting the focus from piracy to privacy, giving concepts such as access to knowledge and information commons new meanings. This article relates the copyfights of the early 2000nds to more recent copyright discussions. It relies on a series of interviews with members of the Pirate Party, conducted between 2011 and 2015 and connects them to more recent debates about the European Union Directive on Copyright for the Digital Single Market (COM/2016/0593) that was passed in march 2019. The article asks if and how the information commons movement and the international political agenda about intellectual property rights and access to information have changed with the rise of a digital economy build around streaming media and data mining.

    Flawed biometric rollouts in emerging economies: evidence from Jamaica, Afghanistan, and Kenya2022In: Breakthroughs in Digital Biometrics and Forensics / [ed] Kevin Daimi, Guillermo Francia III, Luis Hernández Encinas, Cham: Springer, 2022, p. 345-365Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter considers the social conditions in which large-scale biometric systems have been deployed in emerging economies across three cases: Jamaica, Afghanistan, and Kenya. Its contributions to the study of biometrics and forensics are both empirical and theoretical. The empirical contribution rests on the attention to comparatively under-researched geographies and political processes of technology-driven social transformation in the Caribbean, central Asia, and east Africa. The theoretical contribution rests on the elaboration of sociopolitical factors that have hampered the effective uptake of these technologies as well as engagement in dialogue with the body of literature on development-driven technological interventions into the governance of emerging economies. By undertaking a critical review of these contemporary cases, the chapter presents the state of the art in both theory and implementation while illustrating the necessities of popular legitimacy, equitable access, universal registration, and clearly elaborated data protection regimes in biometric rollouts.

    Den Indiska Demonetariseringens Påverkan på Identitet och Politiskt Deltagande: – En Fältstudie i det Rurala Karnataka2017Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis purpose has been to investigate how the demonetisation in India has affected the political participation and the rural identity in a rural part of Karnataka. The demonetisation in this thesis has been connected to globalisation and show how the globalisation expresses on the rural locality. This has been done by a field study in a rural part of Karnataka that contained direct observations and six focus-group interviews that has been analysed with qualitative methodology. The rural identity has been operationalised to three indicators; caste-identity, family and gender-identity and political-identity. Our results shows that the rural identity has been somewhat affected by the demonetisation and globalisation. The political participation has not been affected. However there are tendencies that the demonetisation might transform the political participation in the future. Our findings also suggest that the urban have moved further away from the rural towards the global due to the demonetisation. Due to the increased distance between the rural and urban, the rural identity has become more independent.

    Facebook är en diversehandel i sociala relationer och idéer som förändrar samhällsstrukturen. Utvecklingen går väldigt fort och det framkommer tydligt att politiken har svårt att hålla jämn takt med utvecklingen. Sverige har tappat sin tätposition när det gäller digitalisering. Lagstiftning tar tid och politikers kompetens på området, inte minst när det gäller sociala medier, är generellt sett inte stor. Vart tar folkhemmet vägen i Facebook…

    Reassembling Local E-Government: A study of actors’ translations of digitalisation in public administration2017Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The digitalisation of society decidedly affects public administration. Swedish public administration has long worked with information technologies for an effective and improved management of public services. But new and increased use of information technologies in society poses new challenges. New demands on information security are increasing, while accessibility and transparency are important priorities in policies on digitalisation in public services. However, the central government’s ambitions and expectations with regard to digitalisation face a slow and hesitant implementation in local governments. There are important differences between municipalities in priorities, local needs, and implementation mechanisms in connection with e-government. In this thesis, I argue there is a need to reconsider the role of governance mechanisms in e-government. There is a need to understand local translations of national policies and technological developments in relation to the goals of more effective and legitimate public administration. The main purpose of this thesis is to analyse tensions that emerge in the implementation of egovernment in local public administration. On the basis of a constructivist and interpretivist approach, I have undertaken two empirical studies. One focuses on municipal administration of education in Linköping. The other focuses on a governance network on digitalisation policy in Östergötland. The studies are presented in four papers. The issues addressed in the papers are further analysed with a focus on four fields of tension, using network governance theory and translation theory. This shows that the implementation of e-government in local public administration is a tension-laden process. The four fields of tension relate to: different logics and dilemmas for adoption and implementation; concerns and ambiguities in a context of unclear organisational and institutional arrangements; concerns and resistance from professional users; and a reassessment of the meaning of security as a reference for the interpretation of information security. I contend that established managerial and evolutionary models of e-government leave important process-related aspects out of the analysis of change in public administration. The contribution of this thesis lies in its description and analysis of the four identified fields of tension. One significant implication of my analysis is that reassembling current  governance mechanisms in local public administration is crucial.

    Abstract [en]

    There is an increased use of public e-services integrating citizens into public administration through electronic interfaces. On-line interaction among public organizations and citizens is one core relation in e-government that hereby becomes embedded into daily practices. A safe entry into e-governmental systems is essential for security and trust in the e-governmental systems and schools as well as public services in general. This paper addresses how electronic identification has been used for access to public e-services in schools in a Swedish municipality. This paper draws on a case study of use of ICT platforms in education administration in order to study the implementation of secure login process and factors that may have implications upon trust in-and legitimacy of public e-services at local e-government level. Besides describing the implementation process and analyzing security and organizational arrangements connected to the use of the platform, the paper address the argument that secure identification tools are essential for increased use of e-services and lead to greater legitimacy of the public (e)services. The analysis focuses on information security, organization set-up and potential development of the platforms, contributing with empirical findings and conceptual applications. A key finding was that the organization of identification and access to public e-services seemed highly dependent of the organizational structure of the public schools. The more general implication of the findings was that safe and well organized identification systems that were considered as trustworthy and useful among citizens were essential for increased use of the services and legitimate public e-services in general.

    Abstract [en]

    This paper addresses how people construct meanings regarding “the concept of security”, based upon the descriptions collected from participants in a case study of the use of electronic identification in ICT platforms in schools. The aim of the paper is to reflect on the concept of security by identifying and analyzing how people build their own understanding of security when using ICT platforms in schools. The analysis identifies three ontological instances of security: security as an ideal state of affairs, security as a value and information security. The analysis also clarifies the difference between the objective and subjective nature of security, as well as the differences between factual and perceived information security. As a result, I raise several research questions concerning “security”, and identify common assumptions with regard to constructing the concept of security.

    Purpose– The purpose of the paper is to reveal how identities are constructed when electronic identification (eIDs) cards are introduced through information systems in public organisations. Design/methodology/approach– Through two case studies, the authors generate rich data on the construction of identities through use of eID within public organisations. The author’s analysis, based on actor network theory, focusses on the translation of eIDs in these two settings. Findings– ID can be viewed as an artefact where the public and private spheres meet. The authors found at least three mixed roles in employees’ use of eID: as a purely private person; as a private person in the work place; and as a professional in the work place. Research limitations/implications– There is a need for further research on how eID is translated into organisational contexts and how institutional settings define the openings for local translation processes. However, the results are based on two small cases, meaning that broad generalisations are difficult to make. Practical implications– EID is so much more than technology. The technical framing of the identification system appears to be subordinated to organisational arrangements and cultures, making it important to apply a socio-technical perspective when working with eID. Originality/value– The empirical cases have offered a unique chance to study implementation and use of eID in two very different public service organisations. The findings illustrate how eID translated into organisational contexts, and how identity management within an organisational setting is linked to the employees’ private and professional roles.

    Arbetskraftsinvandring i krisens EU2014In: Det globaliserade arbetslivet / [ed] Marinette Fogde & Johanna Övling, Möklinta: Gidlunds förlag, 2014, p. 45-53Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Enligt EU, OECD, FN och andras skattningar räknas behovet till tiotals miljoner nya invandrare under det närmaste halvseklet. Tillväxt och invandring har blivit två sidor av samma mynt i EU:s ekonomiska och politiska strävan, något som framgår tydligt i unionens tillväxtstrategi "Europa 2020". Budskapet hörs även från EU:s regeringar; men av flera orsaker, däribland dagens djupgående lågkonjunktur, har många regeringar också tystnat i frågan, medan andra börjat vända sig mot en ökad arbetskraftsinvandring.

    Another Colonialism: Africa in the History of European Integration2014In: Journal of Historical Sociology, ISSN 0952-1909, E-ISSN 1467-6443, Vol. 27, no 3, p. 442-461Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Today’s European Union was founded in a 1950s marked by its member

    states’ involvement in numerous colonial conflicts and with the colonial question

    firmly entrenched on the European and international agenda. This notwithstanding,

    there is hardly any scholarly investigations to date that have examined colonialism’s

    bearing on the historical project and process of European integration. In tackling

    this puzzle, the present article proceeds in two steps. First, it corroborates the claim

    that European integration not only is related to the history of colonialism but to no

    little extent determined by it. Second, it introduces a set of factors that explain why

    the relation between the EU and colonialism has been systematically neglected. Here

    the article seeks to identify the operations of a colonial epistemology that has

    facilitated a misrecognition of what postwar European integration was about. As the

    article argues, this epistemology has enabled colonialism’s historical relation to the

    European integration project to remain undetected and has thus also reproduced

    within the present EU precisely those colonial or neo-colonial preconceptions that

    the European partner states, in official discourse and policy, falsely claim that they

    have abandoned.

    Bringing Africa as a 'Dowry to Europe': European Integration and the Eurafrican Project, 1920–19602011In: Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies, ISSN 1369-801X, E-ISSN 1469-929X, Vol. 13, no 3, p. 443-463Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article examines the history of the ‘Eurafrican project’ as it evolved from the Pan-European movement in the 1920s to its institutionalization in the European Economic Community (EEC) (i.e. today’s EU) in the late 1950s. As shown in the article practically all of the visions, movements and concrete institutional arrangements working towards European integration during this period placed Africa’s incorporation into the European enterprise as a central objective. As so much of the scholarly, political and journalistic accounts at the time testify to, European integration was inextricably bound up with a Eurafrican project. According to the intellectual, political and institutional discourse on Eurafrica – or the fate of Europe’s colonial enterprise – a future European community presupposed the transformation of the strictly national colonial projects into a joint European colonization of Africa. Indeed, there is strong evidence to support that these ideas were instrumental in the actual, diplomatic and political constitution of the EEC, or of Europe as a political subject. The article discusses the conspicuous absence of these matters from scholarship on European integration and its historical origins and trajectory. It also notes that it is equally neglected in postcolonial studies, which should be able to provide the theoretical and historical tools to engage with the complex and instructive issues with which the Eurafrican project and its intimate links to the history of European integration confront today’s scholars.

    EU Migration Policy Towards Africa: Demographic Logics and Colonial Legacies2015In: Postcolonial Transitions in Europe: Contexts, Practices and Politics / [ed] Sandra Ponzanesi and Gianmaria Colpani, London: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2015, p. 47-67Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The chapter analyzes current EU–African migration policy, but argues that it must be understood in its historical context. Whereas migration today is to be managed in the framework of a EU–African partnership model built on equality and mutual ‘win–win’ dynamics, a closer look at the history of EU–African migration reveals striking parallels between past and present. From the 1920s onward, the migration policies devised within various frameworks of European integration have been shaped by demographic projections. Each time demography has governed European migration policy vis–à–vis Africa, what has first been introduced as a mutual interest has quickly been transformed into a geopolitical relationship, where one partner has channeled migration to its own benefit. It is thus argued that unless scholars start to attend to European integration’s crucial colonial history, current power asymmetries between the ‘partners’ will not only remain obscure, we will also fail to recognize the continued currency of colonial ideology in the EU’s African relations.

    Eurafrica: The Untold History of European Integration and Colonialism2014Book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Hansen and Jonsson investigate a topic of central importance to the history of European integration that has been virtually erased from scholarship. The topic once went by the name of Eurafrica and it entailed a shared European management of colonial Africa. Launched by Pan-European movements as a geopolitical idea and vision after World War I, Eurafrica gained political momentum after World War II. With the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 and the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, Eurafrica was implemented through the association to the EEC of the colonial domains of the six founding European states, as stipulated in the Treaty of Rome. On the basis of archival and other documentation from 1920 to the 1960s, the authors show that all major movements and institutions working towards European integration placed Africa’s geopolitical and economic incorporation into the European enterprise as a key objective. A final chapter discusses how Africa’s association to the EEC impacted on the process of decolonization and shaped postcolonial Africa, and how the ‘Eurafrican legacy’ still affects the EU’s foreign relations. The authors also explain why the link between European integration and colonialism is neglected in EU studies and histories of colonialism, and they develop new theoretical perspectives on European integration in the context of global history. Signalling a paradigm shift in debates and research on the EU, Africa and colonialism, Eurafrica presents an entire vista of both new questions that need to be answered and old answers to be questioned.

    Eurafrika: EU:s koloniala rötter2015Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    EU presenteras ofta som ett fredsprojekt. Men bakom fasaden döljer sig en helt annan historia.

    För politiker, opinionsbildare och organisationer som från mellankrigstiden och framåt arbetade för europeisk integration stod Afrika i centrum för intresset. Exploateringen av kolonierna krävde samarbete och gemensamma investeringar. Målet var ett tredje block - Eurafrika - som skulle säkra Europas geopolitiska ställning mot de bägge supermakterna.Europas enande skulle alltså börja i Afrika.

    Eurafrika är en bok som redan väckt internationell uppmärksamhet. Den gör upp med myten om EU som fredsprojekt och konstaterar att dagens EU knappast hade existerat om det inte från början utformats som en eurafrikansk gemenskap.

    Eurafrique: Aux origines coloniales de l'Union Européenne2022 (ed. 1)Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [fr]

    Alors que l’Europe, jadis triomphante, se trouve ravagée, appauvrie et divisée au sortir de la Première Guerre mondiale, un concept prometteur se diffuse dans les milieux dirigeants et intellectuels du Vieux Continent : l’Eurafrique !Faire du continent africain le ferment de l’unité européenne : tel est le projet de Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, chantre du mouvement paneuropéen, et de nombre de ses contemporains dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Le salut de l’Europe, affirment-ils, repose sur sa capacité à exploiter en commun les richesses des colonies africaines. Rivalisant avec la puissance montante des continents américain et asiatique, l’Eurafrique deviendra ainsi le pôle dominant de la géopolitique mondiale.Le projet eurafricain, un temps caressé par les régimes fascistes, renaît de ses cendres après 1945 et inspire les « fondateurs » de l’Europe : Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, Paul Henri Spaak, Konrad Adenauer. La France, principale puissance coloniale d’Europe continentale, joue alors un rôle essentiel. Malmené en Indochine puis en Algérie, Paris s’accroche à ses possessions africaines et fait de leur inclusion dans le marché commun européen une condition sine qua nonà sa participation à la construction européenne.C’est ce dossier qu’ouvrent Peo Hansen et Stefan Jonsson. Proposant une analyse inédite des négociations qui aboutiront à la signature du traité de Rome en 1957, ils dévoilent un pan méconnu de l’histoire de l’Union européenne : ses origines coloniales.

    European Integration as a Colonial Project2018In: Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Politics / [ed] Olivia U. Rutazibwa and Robbie Shilliam, London: Routledge, 2018, 1, p. 32-47Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    For a long time, studies of colonialism and imperialism focused primarily on once colonised societies where the traces and consequences of colonialism lay immediately open to anyone’s experience. In recent decades, and much due to postcolonial scholarship, which has disclosed that colonising societies were just as much influenced by colonialism as the colonised ones, there has also emerged an impressive body of research that traces colonialism’s influence on the national cultures and histories of a number of European states, and not just those that had explicit colonial ambitions. This research testifies to the fact that colonialism lingers on as a touchy and salient issue in national imaginaries and cultural identities, as well as in national high politics. Meanwhile, the urgency of a series of contemporary developments and projects should challenge research also to go beyond the methodological nationalism or, better, methodological colonial statism often inherent in such studies.In this chapter we attend to the ‘the European project’, or more specifically the project of European integration. Challenging received ideas in scholarship, we suggest a new point of departure for the analysis of the relation between Europe and Africa in the interwar and postwar eras. By demonstrating that the early European integration that culminated in the Treaty of Rome in 1957 in fact was a colonial enterprise that incorporated all the member states’ colonies within its institutional framework, we also point to the crucial implications that this has had for postcolonial relations between what is today the European Union and the former colonies in Africa.In reconceiving historical European integration as a colonial project, we also discuss the implications of this for contemporary conceptions of European integration. Provided that European integration in the postwar period to a large extent revolved around matters of trade, the EEC being a ‘customs union’, our intuition should tell us that such a project ought to have been deeply concerned with colonial affairs, particularly because the future of the French empire and its trading bloc seemed to hinge on France’s ability to preserve and consolidate its colonial economy. It should be equally safe to assume that the general political and geopolitical situation of the latter part of the 1940s and the 1950s, so profoundly marked by colonial crises and colonial wars, should have left a strong imprint on the various initiatives to bolster postwar Western European cooperation. To imagine that these circumstances did not affect European integration would be as counterintuitive as to imagine European integration to have been unaffected by the Cold War. Yet, this is how things are portrayed in just about all of today’s standard histories of European integration (see further Hansen and Jonsson 2014a). As a third and final task, then, the chapter seeks to clarify this puzzle and lacuna, focusing, inter alia, on the need to rethink the concepts and remodel the interpretive frames within which the history of European integration traditionally has been understood and explained.

    Oriental Fantasy: A postcolonial discourse analysis of Western belly dancers’ imaginations of Egypt and dance festivals in Egypt2015Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Belly dance is popularly practised in the West, and every year, thousands of enthusiasts and professionals from around the world travel to attend belly dance festivals in Egypt, which is considered the cultural centre of the dance. This bachelor’s thesis examines the discourses produced by Western or ʽwhiteʼ belly dancers from Sweden and Finland, on the topics of tourism in Egypt and belly dance festivals in Egypt. The texts are analysed using James Paul Gee's discourse analytical framework, combined with postcolonial theory, complemented with an intersectional approach. From the postcolonial and feminist perspectives, belly dance discourse in the West and tourism discourse are problematic, as they perpetuate Orientalist tropes and unequal global power structures, which build on colonial discourse. It is hoped that by identifying and questioning these aspects of discourse that are problematic in terms of equity, this study will make a small contribution towards mitigating its adverse effects, and towards social change.

    Abstract [en]

    Globalization is a fascinating concept mostly because of its influence on the world and the systems within it. The external factors in the surrounding world can make any country adapt to new ways of thinking. This effect has come to impact how education works and evolves and in what way education should persist. The educational sector in Sweden is no exception to globalizations effects on how its systems work and what should be thought of it. How this phenomenon, globalization, is met by the students and the public mostly depends on how it is presented by the media and educators.

    Moreover we can see that there is a need for continuous education of teachers and development of their skills for them to stay up to date and face globalization on the world arena. Be-cause of this we can see politics getting involved in the educational system to be able to maintain control over its development, this involves both economical and ideological views. The presented subjects in this abstract is what the coming essay will explore. Some effects of these external factor could be and how teachers should work with globalization as a phenomenon!

    Abstract [en]

    As a policy which presumes to be based on a norm of “good neighbourliness” the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) depends for legitimacy on interpretation and understanding of an extremely complex human association. This essay focuses on the rhetorical dynamics involved in the neighbourhood policy and their consequences in terms of external input legitimacy. An analysis of the main policy documents between 2003 and 2015 suggests that the ENP cannot be dismissed either as a rhetorical ruse to promote EU power interests, or a naïve vision of good-natured cohabitation. Even if the neighbourhood discourse was introduced to cover a policy of tranquilization or subjugation, it still communicates and supports key norms and ethical standards of international relations. Arguably, this amounts to a dilemma in terms of external input legitimacy: The commitment to a responsive and reflective order among neighbours is quite visible, but so are the elements of conditionality and differentiation.

    Demografianpassad infrastruktur?: Om hantering av anläggnings-tillgångar i kommuner med minskande befolkningsunderlag2016In: Nordisk Administrativt Tidsskrift, ISSN 0029-1285, Vol. 93, no 3, p. 45-64Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Vi har i en rad studier undersökt huruvida effekter och policyimplikationer av långvarig befolkningsminskning beskrivs i kommunala styrdokument. Denna artikel bygger på en delstudie vars övergripande syfte varit att öka förståelsen för hur man i krympande kommuner hanterar och planerar för sina anläggningstillgångar. Vi har här intresserat oss specifikt för huruvida kommunerna i budget och årsredovisningar beskriver sina anläggningstillgångar avseende status och underhåll. Vi har också intresserat oss för i vilken mån kommunerna i dessa dokument drar slutsatser om vilka konsekvenser en förändrad demografi har för hur kommunerna ska planera för sina anläggningstillgångar. Syftet med vår art ikel är därmed att diskutera i vilken mån kommunernas budgetar och årsredovisningar är sammanhang där kommunerna beskriver sina anläggningstillgångar avseende status och underhåll, och huruvida kommunerna här beskriver strategier för hur anläggningstillgångarna ska kunna anpassas till en ny demografisk situation. Strategier kan finnas i andra dokument, men budget och årsredovisningar är för kommunerna tvingande dokument som underställs kommunfullmäktige varje år. I dessa dokument ska kommunerna inför medborgarna redogöra på vilket sätt de svarar upp mot kraven på god ekonomisk hushållning. Anläggningstillgångarnas status, underhåll och demografianpassning har dessutom uppenbara ekonomiska implikationer, vilket gör att budget och årsredovisning torde vara de styrdokument där kommunen i första hand beskriver dessa förhållanden.

    Vår ambition har varit att undersöka kommuner som har ett minskande befolkningsunderlag, men som i övrigt har varierande förutsättningar och karaktär. Studien baseras därför på ett systematiskt urval av kommuner, där urvalet baserades på geo-grafiskt läge, närhet till större tätort samt befolkningsstorlek.

    Abstract [en]

     large minority of municipalities, especially in the rural parts of the vast Scandinavian country, face declining population numbers. Studies show that demographic decline has brought about severe challenges to these municipalities. Jonsson and Syssner argue that most of Swedish communities do not account for declining population numbers in the management of their fixed assets, like the maintenance of public buildings, water supply networks and sewage pipes. Jonsson and Syssner also shows that adaptation strategies for real estate are much more common than adaptation strategies for other types of assets. This is a worrying situation for shrinking rural areas, since this lack of adjustment ultimately may result in growing welfare differences in Sweden.

    Clashing internationalisms: east European narratives of west European integration2016In: Europe faces Europe: narratives from its eastern half / [ed] Johan Fornäs, Bristol: Intellect Ltd., 2016Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter analyzes how West European integration was viewed in communist Eastern Europe at the time of the foundation of the EU. Throughout the period from the Schuman declaration and the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 to the Treaty of Rome and the establishment of the European Economic Community in 1957, Moscow, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, and Warsaw reacted, in part by criticizing the West European integration project as a continuation of Europe’s imperial and capitalist past, in part by projecting ideas for a wholly different European and global integration project. While this debate was patterned on the cold war logic and the clash between capitalist and communist ideologies, it also contained a profound – and lasting – dispute regarding Europe’s geopolitical position and role, especially in relation to its African colonies. After the fall of the communist East, this dispute was apparently settled to the West’s favor, and it was then forgotten. Yet, varieties of the same dispute today reappear as the EU seeks to develop a foreign policy and global mission for the twenty-first century. By using sources mainly from the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic that have so far been largely neglected in scholarship, the chapter evinces a East-European narrative about Europe’s calling and destiny that merits particular attention in today’s emerging pluricentric world order.

    Abstract [sv]

    Det är ett nytt EU som träder fram. En kommissionär har ansvar för att skydda den “europeiska livsstilen”. EU:s utrikesrepresentant talar om resten av världen som en “djungel” som vi måste skyddas från. Samtidigt liknar EU mer och mer en lydstat till USA. Stefan Jonsson undersöker vad som pågår vid Europas gränser.

    A Statue to Nasser?: Eurafrica, the Colonial Roots of European Integration, and the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize2013In: Mediterranean Quarterly, ISSN 1047-4552, E-ISSN 1527-1935, Vol. 24, no 4, p. 5-18Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In response to a widespread idea of the European Union as a “peace project,” an idea disseminated especially after the EU received the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, this essay retrieves some of the historical causes of the foundation of the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957. The essay emphasizes specific geopolitical and colonial incentives that had lain behind the European integration project ever since the pan-European blueprints the interwar period and which became critical with the Suez crisis and decolonization movements of the 1950s. As the essay demonstrates, practically all of the visions, movements, and concrete institutional arrangements working toward European integration during this period placed Africa’s incorporation into the European enterprise as a central objective. As much of the scholarly, political, and journalistic accounts at the time testify, European integration was inextricably bound up with a Eurafrican project. According to the intellectual, political, and institutional discourse on Eurafrica, a future European community presupposed the transformation of the strictly national colonial projects into a joint European colonization of Africa. Strong evidence suggests that these ideas were instrumental in the actual diplomatic and political constitution of the EEC, or of Europe as a political subject, in 1957. The essay discusses why the EU’s colonial origins have been consigned to oblivion in mainstream research and why this history is of continued concern to the world.

    Eurafrica: History of European Integration, ‘Compromise’ of Decolonization2018In: Europe Now. A Journal of Research and Art (online), no 15Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The relationship between the history of European integration and the history of colonialism is best understood through a compelling geopolitical entity once known as Eurafrica. As we have shown in a recent book by that title, most efforts to unify Europe from 1920 to 1960 systematically coincided with efforts to develop and stabilize the colonial system in Africa. Eurafrica was also the name of the “compromise” of decolonization. It was the mediating institutional formation through which Africa and Europe exited the colonial era and entered a new world order where, just as the founders of the EEC had intended, their unequal relationship essentially remained unchanged. Today, even as the Eurafrican project is largely forgotten, the content of current EU policymaking towards its African “partner” demonstrates that its influence persists under the surface. The only way to comprehend the deep structures of current EU–African relations is to bring this history to life again, or at least bring it into the history books.

    Abstract [de]

    Die Europäische Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (EWG), die Vorläufer organisation der Europäischen Union, wurde im selben Jahr gegründet, in dem Ghana seine Unabhängigkeit verkündete – als erster zuvor kolonisierter Staat in Afrika südlich der Sahara. Beide Ereignisse fanden sogar im selben Monat statt, im März 1957. In der offiziellen und halboffiziellen Geschichte der EU werden sie gerne in Zusammenhang gebracht. Gemäß der gängigen Erzählung waren beide Ereignisse Manifestationen der neuen Weltordnung, wie sie sich in den Jahrzehnten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entwickelte: Dem zufolge hätten die westeuropäischen Staaten ihre Ansprüche auf imperiale Dominanz aus freien Stücken begraben. Sie hätten nach innerkontinentaler Kooperation gesucht und ihre nationalen Rivalitäten beigelegt, welche in zwei Weltkriege gemündet waren, um ihre nach dem Krieg am Boden liegenden Gesellschaften und Volkswirtschaften wieder aufzubauen. Dazu hätten sie ihre nationalen Ressourcen miteinander koordiniert und die Mobilität von Waren, Geld und Arbeit innerhalb der Gemeinschaft gesteigert.

    L’Eurafrique, un « rêve » venu du passé colonial2022In: Afrique XXI, ISSN 2270-0978Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [fr]

    Alors que la France assure la présidence du Conseil de l’Union européenne, Emmanuel Macron veut « proposer une nouvelle alliance au continent africain ». Le sommet UE-UA qui se tient à Bruxelles les 17 et 18 février doit donc servir à « jeter les bases d’un partenariat renouvelé » entre les deux entités. Au-delà des enjeux contemporains, cette volonté de « lier le destin » des deux rives de la Méditerranée n’est pas nouvelle : elle répond à un projet vieux de soixante ans, qui avait pour nom l’Eurafrique et pour ambition la préservation de la puissance européenne et du système colonial.

    Empowered Inclusion: Theorizing Global Justice for Children and Youth2020In: Globalizations, ISSN 1474-7731, Vol. 17, no 6, p. 1043-1060Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper argues that contemporary child and youth experiences of globalization call for retheorizing global justice around a new concept of empowered inclusion. The first part of the paper examines three case studies in globalization – child labour movements, child and youth migration, and young people’s organization around climate change – and shows how, in each case, young people, through their struggles against injustice, are simultaneously disempowered and empowered by their deep global interdependency. The second part proposes new theoretical advances in global justice that better respond to child and youth experiences through a childist concept of the empowered inclusion of both children and other marginalized groups. And the third part advances some preliminary suggestions about how a more child-responsive conception of global power and justice might be operationalized in practice across global policies, institutions, and culture.

    Global migration governance, civil society and the paradoxes of sustainability2018In: Globalizations, ISSN 1474-7731, E-ISSN 1474-774X, Vol. 15, no 6, p. 762-778Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Against the presentation of an asymmetric global governance, this article analyzes the formation of global migration governance with its focus on the politics of migration and development. It traces the marginalization of a rights-based approach to migration and the streamlining of migration governance into business-friendly migration management and a geopolitical securitization agenda. It also reviews the trajectory towards factoring migration into a global development policy discourse as formulated in the UN 2030 Development Agenda. Specifically, it indicates that the inclusion of migration into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) may promote migrant workers rights because several of these invoke universal human rights instruments, social protection and the observance of the ILO decent work agenda. However, this will only be possible if civil society critically engages powerful state and non-state actors in the process of monitoring the SDGs implementation, and resists their streamlining into investment and free trade neoliberal development regimes.

    Labour rights as human rights?: trajectories in the global governance of migration2015In: Migration, precarity, and global governance: challenges and opportunities for labour / [ed] Schierup, Carl-Ulrik; Munck, Ronaldo; Likić-Brborić, Branka; Neergaard, Anders, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015, 1, p. 223-244Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this chapter Branka Likić-Brborić addresses the emerging global governance of migration. She scrutinizes the structuring of human and labour rights discourses and contingencies for their institutionalisation and implementation by discussing their prospects for the promotion of global social justice. Issues of accountability and contingencies for the implementation of labour and human rights as migrants’ rights are discussed in the wider context of the existing global governance architecture. The chapter questions assumptions that setting up a workable model for codification and institutionalisation of labour standards, human rights and migrants’ rights could be left to a currently asymmetric global governance regime or to a variety of codes of corporate social responsibility. Global and regional trade union confederations and other civil society organizations have an essential role in repositioning a rights-based approach to migration, labour standards and development onto the terrain of a just globalisation.

    Exploring Entrepreneurship as Misbehavior2012In: Rethinking Misbehavior and Resistance in Organizations / [ed] Alison Barnes and Lucy Taksa, Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2012, p. 209-235Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose – To explore the links between entrepreneurship and misbehavior.

    Approach – Conceptual development using cases as illustrative examples.

    Findings – The chapter finds that there is an overlap between the way misbehavior is defined and the way entrepreneurship is conceptualized in the literature. It also finds previous research, distinguishing between desirable and undesirable misbehavior based on the intentions or the outcomes of behavior, insufficient in relation to entrepreneurship as misbehavior. The reason is that for entrepreneurial ventures, the underlying intentions are often good, but the outcomes often not; and that making assessments of the outcomes of entrepreneurial ventures a priori is notoriously difficult. Assessing misbehavior based only on organizational level evaluations is likewise insufficient in relation to entrepreneurship. The reason for this is that support for the venture may be needed also from actors outside of the organization. Furthermore, what constitutes the organization is not always clear. Therefore, we argue that it is necessary to broaden the view of what institutions determine whether a venture classifies as misbehavior when analyzing entrepreneurship.

    Research limitations – The cases used to illustrate the overlap between entrepreneurship and misbehavior are conspicuous and not necessarily representative of entrepreneurship and misbehavior in general.

    Originality – This is a first attempt at merging the misbehavior and entrepreneurship literatures, which highlights an important niche with a great promise for future research.

    Adult Refugees learning inthe German dual VETworkplace (GdVET): A Bakery Company Case Study2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 40 credits / 60 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper explores how refugees learn at the German dual VET (GdVET) workplace. It looksat the interactions between Germans and refugees, questions what learning and working in agroup in the workplace means for the participants, and what factors support the refugees'learning.For this purpose, a framework of five spheres borrowing and combining elements fromWenger's (1998b) Community of Practice and Lave & Wenger’s (1991) situated learning isused. They allow to observe and discuss possible learning characteristics for refugees in aGdVET. These spheres are explored in a case study, a bakery factory. For this sake, a limitedparticipatory observation and eight interviews with Germans and refugees at the workplacewere conducted.Results confirm, i.a., the refugees' extraordinary motivation and commitment, highlighted inprevious research and media. Furthermore, the particularly striking loyalty the refugees holdfor their work domain is elicited and analyzed in the context of the refugees biography,experience, and development at work. It is found that the bakery's owner's role and his tirelesscommitment to equal opportunities and against racism play a significant identificatory role forthe refugees and their professional identification. Furthermore, the study shows that learning ina multicultural setting with vertical power relations also happens by non-verbal negotiationthrough observing the reaction of the others and testing out possibilities, roles, and participation. All of them leading eventually to a multicultural domesticated workplace to which all canfeel committed.
