Geoeconomics
- 2012
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- With the shift from geopolitics to geoeconomics the focus is no longer the Heartland or the Rimland, or any coherent geographical region, but the set of all geographical locations containing economically-important natural resources, what we shall call the Nareland (Natural Resource Lands). This new logic of dispersed geographical locations marks the shift from geopolitics to geoeconomics. The centre stage has been taken over by the private-sector organization, the corporation. This means that power has been transferred from the public to the private sphere. It means that the nation state is ceding its power to individuals – less in some countries and more in others, for instance less in Sweden than in the USA; but the trend is clear, and it is global.

Macklean som ekonom

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Rutger Macklean (1742-1816) står ofta beskriven som friherre, politiker, och skiftesreformist. I vilken grad var han också ekonom? Frågan kan verka något långsökt vid en första anblick, men då får man komma ihåg, att ekonomi är ett gammalt grekiskt ord för ”hushållningsadministration" och att det var just detta som präglade mycket av hans verksamhet på Svaneholm, både för egen och för andras räkning . På Mackleans tid fanns det inte ekonomer i den betydelsen som vi idag förstår begreppet. Adam Smith (1723-1790), som ofta räknas som grundläggaren av det vetenskapliga studiet av ekonomi, var t.ex. moralfilosof. Hans mest kända verk Wealth of Nations från år 1776 finner vi också i Mackleans bokhylla. På den tiden benämndes inte det vetenskapliga fackområdet ekonomi, men politisk ekonomi vilket var en blandning av vad vi i dag skulle kalla statsvetenskap och ekonomi.

Miljö-ekonomi-historia
- 2002
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Den ökade miljömedevetenheten under de senaste decennierna har skapat allt större intresse för historiska förlopp. Miljön påverkas och förändras ju gradvis och långsiktigt och verkningarna av mänsklig verksamhet kan i naturen i vissa fall spåras först århundraden senare. Denna påverkan kan bli kostsam att ställa till rätta - i vissa fall uppkommer kanske irreparabla skador. Ekonomisk förändring skapar således spänningsförhållanden mellan samhälle och miljö. Vid alla förändringsprocesser krävs tillförsel av energi och materia av högre kvalitet från ett omgivande system. Under senare år har alltfler forskare inom ämnet ekonomisk historia engagerat sig i studier av miljön. Den ena, makronivån, används t ex i skapandet av miljörelaterade historiska nationalräkenskaper och den andra, mikronivån, i studier av utnyttjandet av naturresurser som jord, skog, vatten och mineraler. Denna skrift utgör den första samlade rapporten från "MESK", "Miljöperspektiv i ekonomisk-historisk forskning", ett nätverks- och samarbetsprojekt, som sedan 1997 bedrivs vid de svenska ekonomisk-historiska institutionerna. Skriften innehåller undersökningar beträffande båda nivåerna. Av några av bidragen framgår också det nära samarbete med andra ämnen som kulturgeografi och biologi med flera, vilket är oundgängligt för att komma längre i förståelse av det problemkomplex som frågorna om vår miljö utgör.

Challenges for business change in district heating
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Energy, Sustainability and Society. - : Springer Verlag. - 2192-0567. ; 8:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The Swedish district heating sector is successfully transitioning to a low-carbon energy system. The industry has expanded since the 1950s and currently meets more than half the Swedish heat demand. The heat market was deregulated in 1996, and thereafter, companies have been exposed to an increasing number of challenges related to technology, institutional factors and market. Since municipal ownership dominates, municipal companies must manage these challenges to ensure future competitiveness. However, theory suggests that business change is difficult when the current model is still working. To date, Swedish district heating companies have revisited their price models and customer perceptions. There is limited knowledge on how the business challenges are managed and on the management strategy’s impact on the business. In this paper, new knowledge is generated regarding how the customer and resource-oriented sides of the municipally owned district heating business in Sweden are changing. Methods: A case study approach was adopted. Data were collected by interviews and by review of the national research programme on district heating (Fjärrsyn). The programme served as a proxy for frontline research on Swedish district heating. The data were analyzed through the business model canvas framework. Results: Changes to meet external pressures are identified on the customer side of the business model, but changes are also spreading to other parts of it. However, the key resource component (distribution networks and production unit) and its logic of economics of scale are unchanged and dominate. The logic is not compatible with shrinking heat demand; nevertheless, it is preferred. Conclusions: It is concluded that external challenges have resulted in changes in the customer side of the business model. However, the largest challenge is the transformation of key resources. Accounting for external challenges extends the life of the current business model, but it is not increasing competitiveness. The prolonged life creates a window of opportunity for the companies to begin the needed transformation of their key resources. If the transformation is successful, district heating will have a role in the future energy system. If the transformation is not undertaken, the future is less certain. © 2018, The Author(s).

Managing Crises and De-Globalisation : Nordic Foreign Trade and Exchange, 1919-1939
- 2010
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- As small, open economies the Nordic states have always been more dependent on foreign trade than larger powers, and have thus had a historic preference for free trade. But during the inter-war period the Nordic countries were squeezed between powerful and aggressive trading partners: above all Great Britain and Germany. Although the period between the end of the First World War and 1929 was marked by a return to a liberal world economy, the Great Depression ushered in a decade of protectionism. The bilateralisation of international trade was especially evident after Britain's Ottawa treaties in 1932 and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933. Their dependence on trade with Britain and Germany meant that the Nordic countries were exposed to the full force of British and German bilateralism.The paradox is that in spite of international trade wars and regulated exchange the Nordic countries managed better than other European states during the interwar period, and that the Great Depression was not as deep or long lasting as in other countries. The chapters in this book discuss why and how this rather successful Nordic experience was achieved. The topics covered include commercial and monetary policies but also important industries such as forestry, agriculture and fishing. Many of the chapters are comparative and discuss economic developments in two or more Nordic countries.

Feminist alliances against precarity or capitalism? A continuation of the Butler–Fraser debate
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Acta Sociologica. - London : Sage Publications. - 0001-6993 .- 1502-3869.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The relation between different forms of oppressive structures has been an object of dispute throughout the history of feminism. One of the most influential debates devoted to this issue is the one between Judith Butler and Nancy Fraser during the 1990s. Although the debate attracted a great deal of attention, and both thinkers have subsequently developed their theories by introducing novel concepts to describe oppression as well as the conditions of contemporary emancipatory movements, they have not continued to engage in each other's work. This article offers a critical reading of the positions that Fraser and Butler took in the 1990s debate, as well as an identification of shifts in their thinking ensuing from the debate. A particular interest of the article is their conceptualisations of the grounds for political alliances among groups with distinct experiences of oppression. The article not only offers a critique of both Butler's and Fraser's positions in the 1990s debate but also argues that the way in which Fraser's trajectory has come to directly address the issue of the capitalist social order, and which can also be read as an implicit self-critique, is more satisfactory than Butler's later work on precarity.
