- Today many regions in the industrialized world have to deal with a transformation from traditional industry such as agriculture or manufacturing to service-oriented production such as tourism. Nevertheless, few studies highlight the possibilities and limitations of inter-sectoral knowledge sharing among stakeholders representing these sectors and hence there seem to be missed opportunities for mutual collaboration in the era of experience production. Using an evolutionary perspective, this article aims to analyse how the leisure boat manufacturing and the tourism sectors in the municipality of Orust on the Swedish west coast, combine knowledge from these two sectors as a way to spur innovation in experience production. The article shows how there are a number of limitations to sectoral knowledge interaction. Some of them can be linked to the conservative nature of the traditional industry, and to the immature nature of the tourism sector, others to the role of policy. However, at the same time as there being a number of obstacles for collaboration, the article reveals some interesting possibilities to form inter-sectoral knowledge sharing.

Regional bioeconomies : public finance and sustainable policy narratives

- Regional bioeconomies promote sustainable, regional economies under the auspices of EU green growth policies. Combining prospects of rural rejuvenation, sustainability and innovation, they are employed to address climate change, societal challenges, and often benefit from substantial public funds. Yet, despite public finance's key role for bio-based transitions and (regional) bioeconomies, it has received little academic attention. Framed by conceptualisations on greening finance and (sustainable) policy narratives, this paper evaluates the public finance processes of three spatially variegated regional bioeconomy developments in Europe (Finland, Sweden, Spain). It provides empirical accounts from the case study sites and contrasts their public finance narratives with sustainable bioeconomy policy trajectories employed in EU policy promotion and benchmarking. This critical questioning of the current representations of regional bioeconomies in public finance narratives portrays a problematic mismatch between the dominant selective economic features and wider EU policy aims, particularly in relation to sustainability. Accompanied by the neglect of decisive local features in these benchmarking narratives, they promote a sustainably and spatially unreflective path forward for bioeconomy policy learning and development.

Tourism’s localised population effect in the rural areas of Sweden
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines how population change among young adults in rural areas is affected when tourism is the dominant industry. The relation between tourism and population change is often implicitly assumed but has not been well examined on a broader societal level. Existing studies have indicated that the effect of tourism on population change is limited in geographical range, and therefore a fine geographical resolution is useful. This analysis is based on yearly information on each individual who resided in Sweden in any year between 1990 and 2010, with 100-metre grid cells as the finest geographical resolution. Since young adults constitute a large part of all migration that takes place, they are the focus of this study. The findings show that the net population change among young adults is clearly more positive in tourism-dominated areas (TDAs) than in non-TDAs, and this becomes more significant the more remote the areas. Further, there is a better gender balance and a younger population in TDAs. Stayers and return migrants can partly explain the positive population change in TDAs, but as shown in previous research, there is a higher turnover of population in TDAs, and in-migration seems to be the key to positive population change.

Personality and Place as resources for regional development : Alfred Nobel’s Karlskoga
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Regional studies. - : Routledge. - 0034-3404 .- 1360-0591.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In “Alfred Nobel’s Karlskoga”, Sweden, the municipality has placed its most famous former resident at the heart of its economic development strategy. Through an in-depth qualitative case study, we examine the tensions and complexities surrounding this process and fill an existing research gap around personality-based place-branding for regional development purposes. The findings suggests that even with a world-famous figure as talisman, personality-based place branding is a complex endeavor, where old rivalries, tightknit social structures and economic dependencies makes us question – is it even possible to build a brand which is both inclusive and truly representative of a place?

- Ten years ago, the concept of retirement homes ceased to exist in Sweden. This was a result of the Delegation on Elderly Living’s suggestion whereby the terminology for and characteristics of accommodation for the elderly changed. This makes it hard to plan and change how the elderly live in Sweden. When it comes to renovating housing for the elderly, the municipalities and property owners do not know how to deal with the situation. This is despite the fact that the situation in Sweden is the same as many other countries around the world: the population is ageing and there is a clear need for housing for the elderly. This case study examines a project to renovate a building complex which has failed to get started. The analytical framework of collaborative governance has been adapted and used as inspiration for understanding this at a local level. From a narrative perspective, mixed methods were used. Two conclusions are drawn. Firstly, the concept of drivers for collaborative governance helps to explain why the project was difficult to realise. Secondly, both the categorisation and concept of housing for the elderly have changed with policy implications.

- Disobedience Live var en direktsänd dokumentär om fyra aktivisterna Sigrid, Kevin, Juan och Sarakka som gav sig av på en resa för att delta i en civil olydnadsaktion för klimatet. Tillsammans med tusentals andra ville de blockera infrastruktur för uppgrävning och förbränning av brunkol i Rhineland, Tyskland. Dokumentären pågick dygnet runt 22-27 augusti 2O17 och visades i realtid. Detta konstprojekt genomfördes av Troja scenkonst, som ville belysa demokratins tillstånd idag samt olika former av engagemang som människor ägnar sig åt – med civil olydnad som utgångspunkt.

Thinking through digital mediations and spatialities of platform based work : A roundtable reflection
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper is a unique roundtable discussion between geographers to explore, contextualizeand problematize the role of geography in the gig economy. It brings together eight researchersfrom across Europe all working with qualitative methods and studying the gig economy. Basedon reflections and commentaries regarding the spatialities and temporalities in and of the gigeconomy, we offer an innovative approach to exploring complicated factors in an emerging andrapidly growing field. We highlight the multiple layers of geography in physical and digitalspaces and the, sometimes blurry, interactions between these. We also show howtemporalities shape the geographies of the gig economy. This paper contributes to developing,deepening and advancing theoretical challenges in understanding the gig economy. It alsobrings these challenges into an accessible, yet thorough publication that can be used inteaching about the gig economy and digital geography. We provide a pedagogical tool tosupport university teachers in using this document in their courses.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter addresses emerging innovation spaces, driven by new types of customer demand and markets, and specifically new forms of innovations for the poorer segments of the economy. The chapter focuses particularly upon India. Innovations for the poorer segments of the economy has gathered much attention, because a specific characteristic of emerging market economies is that a considerable share of consumers belongs to the bottom (or base) of the pyramid (BOP). Though the individual purchasing power is low, the size of the BOP market segment in sum is enormous taken in aggregate, which makes it an attractive market segment. While these are incentives to access this market segment, companies struggle to deal with the specific market conditions with their traditional business and R&D models. This chapters aims to give an overview on FDI in R&D in emerging markets with a special focus on India and empirical illustrations of innovation strategies and modes of interaction.
