Pest, produktion och politisk kultur, studier i statsbildning och örlogsstadens tidigmoderna historia
- 2012
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The focus of this book is the expansion of the Swedish navy and the founding of a naval city, and the manner in which this may have influenced the formation of the Swedish state. The period treated stretches from 1680 – when the Swedish government decided to establish a new naval base and to that end founded the naval city of Karlskrona – to the latter part of the eighteenth century, when large-scale production at the naval base was increasingly in evidence. The primary concern is the way in which small, everyday structures can change and influence the process of state-formation; how actual conflicts on the ground, conflict resolution, and the handling of manufacturing problems and disease seem to converge to make up the pattern we have subsequently characterized as modernity, as elements in a state-formation process. As a rule, research on state-formation takes its starting-point in an interest in the expansion of the land-based military forces in the early modern period. The basis for the present study, however, is research that has concentrated on the rise of the navies and their influence on state-formation, central to which here is the expansion of the Swedish navy, the new technological challenges it faced, changes in military leadership, and the immense costs and risks involved, all of which meant the Admiralty and navy were forced into new ways of thinking, and old social relationships and patterns were re-examined. The navy evolved into a catalyst for change. The study comprises three sub-studies, all of which contribute to a greater understanding of the overarching theme. The first sub-study deals with political culture, the patterns of interaction that evolved in the encounter between a citizenry with a deeply rooted merchant culture and an executive with strong centralizing ambitions, and draws on the literature that shows a Habermasian critical approach, in which the focus is on the forms the populace’s interactions took in the early modern period. It shows how political spatiality shaped the realm and how what we now term ‘private’ and ‘public’ became categories to be taken into account in the encounters between the various parties concerned. It was as part of this process that when it came to negotiation and compromise a pattern of interaction evolved that was for the most part authoritarian in nature. For the government and the navy it was a matter of winning over independent citizens, whose trade networks they wished to tap, in order to realize their foreign policy ambitions. All-too authoritarian intervention on the part of the government would in this case have been counterproductive. The second sub-study deals with the emergence of large-scale manufacturing, which evolved independently of the townsmen and craftsmen’s control. It takes as its starting-point the literature that seeks to problematize the term ‘proto- industrialism’. The pressures of a tense international situation and consequent military–political considerations led the government to invest heavily in the Swedish navy. As a consequence, larger volumes of materiel were the order of the day. The sub-study highlights the production of bread and snaps in particular. The shipyard engineers designed and constructed manufacturing facilities and machines to solve their production problems. The principles of standardization, experimentation, and engineering design arrived on the scene. Manual production was abandoned, at least in some manufacturing branches. The upshot was that old, ingrained social hierarchies of production and power were challenged and abandoned. The third sub-study concerns the plague that hit Karlskrona and the navy alike in 1710, and which would come to threaten the navy’s very existence. Its theoretical basis is the Foucaultian field of research on disease and disease control as a part of a shift in the balance of power, for it demonstrates that it was doctors, not priests, who stood at the Admiralty leadership’s right hand as advisors and experts. Religious rhetoric, as an explanatory model, was indeed in evidence, but played a subordinate role. The subsequent systemization centred on a belief in human – or rather learned doctors’ – powers of observation and ability to draw conclusions. Categorization, separation, and control were the key-words in the process. Against this was the populace’s grass-roots, religiously inspired behaviour; behaviour that in their rulers’ eyes was a threat to the natural order and had to be suppressed. Doctors with their ‘science’ and the military with their brute power made for a powerful combination in the struggle against what they saw as disorder. On the heels of this battle against the plague, the navy furthermore appeared in the guise of the defender of fundamental ‘welfare’, to use a modern expression. At the peak of the crisis, the naval base was the lone institution able to offer the promise of food and medicine. The first basic hospitals also began to take shape. So, three ‘tracks’ in a Swedish state-formation process: a political culture with a particular interaction pattern for policy; new forms of production that left their mark on central social relationships in society as a whole; and fresh thinking on how to combat disease that, as a form of logic, resulted in a power shift and social change. Was this all brought about by the navy and the Admiralty? The answer is no, far from it. Similar processes can be identified in other contexts. On the other hand, the external pressures and historical circumstances were such that the Admiralty and the navy at this point constituted an arena where these processes of change could find expression.

Vem bestämmer : om medborgarinflytande och kommunal planering. Erfarenheter från Sydlänsprojektet.
- 1998
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Boverket och Folkrörelserådet Hela Sverige ska leva tog 1995 initiativ till Sydlänsprojektet. Syftet var att finna former för hur lokalt utvecklingsarbete kan få bättre stöd av kommunal planering men också hur medborgarinflytandet kan komma till tydligare uttryck. Denna rapport redovisar resultatet från utvärderingen av Sydlänsprojektet. Den innehåller iakttagelser och relexioner kring de processer som har ägt rum mellan nio kommuner och lika många lokala utvecklingsarbeten i deras försök att förbättra medborgarinflytandet i kommunal planering. Rapporten vänder sig till de personer som har varit involverade i Sydlänsprojektet men också till andra kommuner och grupper av medborgare som står i beredskap att starta eller befinner sig mitt i ett liknande arbete. Slutsatserna från utvärderingen och de förslag som presenteras bör även kunna tjäna som underlag för en allmän diskussion om hur medborgarnas delaktighet i samhällsplaneringen ska kunna förbättras. Det kan gälla förändringsarbte i såväl mindre samhällen som storskaliga bostadsområden. Erfarenheter från Sydlänsprojektet kan dessutom vara nyttiga för de personer som arbetar med att genomföra FN-initiativen Agenda 21 och Habitatagendan.

Handbook of innovation and regulation
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This comprehensive Handbook presents thoughtful analysis on how regulations can impact innovation within a number of fields and markets, and provides a greater understanding of regulatory complexity and the challenging task it presents for future research. The Handbook of Innovation and Regulation embraces some of the key policy areas such as the regulation of markets, critical sectors, and global and regional aspects, focussing particularly on those regulations which target innovation. Reviewing these often interconnected policy areas in terms of both macroeconomic and microeconomic issues, this Handbook expertly studies how regulations in differing fields can affect innovative activities. By placing innovation centre stage, the contributors emphasise the direct and indirect effects of imposed regulations. Further, they illustrate the critically important overall impact of innovation to make firms competitive, promote economic growth and increase societal welfare. Addressing research and policy challenges, this Handbook would be an excellent resource for academics in regulatory economics, innovation and entrepreneurship, international trade, regional economics as well as environment and digitisation and policymakers in both national and international organisations.

Pioneering Entrepreneurship Research : How, by Whom, and When
- 2022
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Pioneering Entrepreneurship Research lists the seminal and pioneering research efforts conducted by a limited group of scholars from different disciplines that challenged traditional thought on small business and entrepreneurship – these pioneers and their specific contributions transformed our thinking about entrepreneurs. This monograph also discusses the drivers that motivated their entrepreneurial endeavors, their influence at the firm/micro-level and their role in fostering economic development and growth. It explores how their breakthrough contributions increasingly gained acceptance in several disciplines, thereby toppling previous views with profound implications for theory, empirics, methodology and policy.Research on entrepreneurship has witnessed a tremendous renaissance and continues to rapidly evolve. This monograph identifies scholars who have played a particularly important role in pushing the research frontier through their seminal work in the entrepreneurship field. Following an introduction, the authors discuss the definition of entrepreneurship and the academic domain of entrepreneurship research. Next is a chronological account of the early pioneers and the origin of entrepreneurship research. The monograph provides a more detailed description of contemporary pioneers, defined as those that contributed to shaping and defining the research field in the latter decades. It then groups pioneers into specific research categories aiming to give a comprehensive picture of how the advances made has served to deepen our understanding of how the economy works. This is followed by a discussion of avenues for future entrepreneurship research and a conclusion with references.

Om säkerhet i digitala ekosystem
- 2012
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vi är på väg mot ett samhälle som styrs av programvarukod och där digitala marknadskrafter tar över allt större delar av våra traditionella verksamhetsområden. Om säkerhet i digitala ekosystem handlar om människorna, tekniken och ekonomin som formar det dynamiska och komplexa, men även stundtals fientliga ekosystem som dagens Internet utgör. Globala trender som webb 2.0, sociala nätverk och datamoln i kombination med dominerande företag som Facebook, Amazon och Google har på kort tid förändrat förutsättningarna för nätets digitala invånare. Samtidigt har det skett en ökning av illvilliga aktiviteter i form av virus- och spionprogram, men också genom diverse sociala tekniker. Som en konsekvens har vi ett digitalt ekosystem där såväl goda som mindre goda beteenden skapar dynamik och spänningar, och där mötet mellan artificiella instanser av både människor och företag väcker spännande frågor. Särskilt viktiga spörsmål har med människans behov av säkerhet, privatliv, tillit och trygghet att göra, men också om våra biologiska beteendemönster, kognitiva förutsättningar, ekonomiska affärsmodeller och tekniska upptäckariver. I denna myriad av perspektiv, områden och företeelser tar boken sin utgångspunkt. Boken är lämplig att användas i undervisning på universitetsnivå, men den kan också utan speciella förkunskaper läsas av den som är intresserad av säkerhetsfrågor om dagens och morgondagens Internet.

Högskola i otakt
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sverige har aldrig haft så många högutbildade i arbetskraften som idag, men arbetsmarknaden fungerar allt sämre. Frågan är vilka ekonomiska utfall högskoleexpansionen har bidragit till.Slutsatser är att högre utbildning i Sverige inte främjar ekonomisk utveckling och välfärd. Det som bestämmer studenternas val och lärosätenas utformning av utbildningar anpassas inte efter behoven på arbetsmarknaden.Utbildning är kostnadsfri för studerande och finansieras via skatteuttag, samtidigt som utbildningspremien och den privatekonomiska avkastningen, tillhör världens lägsta.Detta bidrar inte till att lösa matchningsproblem på arbetsmarknaden. Istället finns en risk att utbildning ses som konsumtion snarare än investering i kunskap.Resultatet riskerar bli en högskola som går i otakt med det omgivande samhället och framförallt näringslivet.
