Economic Growth and Clean Water in the Göta River - Collective Action and the Environmental Kuznets Curve, 1895-2000

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Because of a growing population and industrialization, total pollution levels in many water-courses around the world have increased considerably for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In the last few decades, however, the trend of increasing water pollution has been turned in many countries. Analyzing this shift – what many environmental economists call an ‘environmental Kuznets curve’ – can give us crucial insights into how a sustainable development might be achieved.

The Idle and the Industrious: European Ideas about the African Work Ethic in Pre-colonial West Africa
- 2014
-
Ingår i: History in Africa - A Journal of Method. - : Cambridge University Press (CUP). - 0361-5413. ; 41, s. 117-145
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is a growing interest in the historical attitudes to work globally. This paper studies the stereotype of the “lazy African” in European travel accounts from pre-colonial West Africa. This was one of the central aspects in the European construction of an African “other” during this period, and came to be used as a justification for much European oppression in Africa in both pre-colonial and colonial times. It is argued in the paper that the stereotype has existed for much longer than suggested in previous literature in the field. Previous studies have also made over-simplified statements about the stereotype, since it overlooks a most significant trend among European writers, who described not only idleness, but also industriousness, among the Africans they wrote about. By the late eighteenth century, finally, the development of an anti-slavery ideology was followed by a challenge to the whole stereotype.

"Alltid något att visa upp för nationens ögon" - Franska tomten och den svenska jakten på kolonier
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Ord & Bild. - 0030-4492. ; :3-4, s. 63-69
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I centrala Göteborg kan man än idag finna ett kvarter vid namn Franska tomten. Bakom namnet ligger en mer än 200 år gammal och av de flesta bortglömd historia. I Göteborgs stadsmuseums stora verk om stadskärnans historik finns bara en kort mening om att det här under 1700-talets slut fanns särskilda magasin för franska handelsvaror. De franska varumagasinen har dock en längre historia, som knyter an till Europas kolonisering av Amerika.

An early-modern consumer revolution in the Baltic?
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Consumption, power and culture in the early modern Atlantic world, June 4-5, 2009, Åbo Akademi, Finland.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The European consumer revolution has gained increasing attention in recent years. This paper goes beyond the previous scholarly focus upon Western Europe in general, and Britain in particular, by studying the consumer revolution in the Baltic region in general, and Denmark and Sweden in particular. Previous research has underestimated the quantities of ‘new luxuries’ imported into the Baltic region. Disaggregating the region, the empirical evidence shows that the Danish population consumed approximately as much of for example sugar as the British did, already by the late 18th century. The paper argues that this to a large extent can be attributed to the fact that real wages in Denmark were comparatively high at the time, even approaching the levels paid to workers in high-wage countries in north-western Europe. The high wages, together with a number of other factors, thus enabled an early consumer revolution at least in this part of the Baltic.
