Rethinking Civil-Military Collaboration : A Relational Practice Approach to Total Defense in Sweden
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis stems from the research problem that, despite extolling the validity of relational dependencies for understanding civil-military collaboration, the interdisciplinary scholarship is notably lacking in empirical depth regarding the underlying relational dynamics in actual activities. The aim of the monograph is therefore to explore the underlying relational dynamics of civil-military collaboration. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s relational approach to practice – and more specifically his thinking tools of field, capital and habitus – the thesis provides an empirically rich analysis of how Sweden’s total defense is practiced. By interviewing and observing various practitioners, I analyze how the development and organization of total defense as a field and various sub-fields, the distribution of symbolic, cultural and economic capital, and officials’ (un)shared dispositions, or habitus, reveal various seldom studied underlying relational dynamics of civil-military collaboration. The results indicate that struggles between military and civil crisis management officials organized around the stake of how total defense should be practiced are grounded in two competing logics of practice: one military and one civil crisis management. The study concludes that these logics of practice constitute particular relational dynamics at play, and struggles that shape civil-military collaboration beyond previous research that lists certain established well-known prerequisites for civil-military collaboration. This conclusion can help researchers and practitioners avoid treating the prerequisites for collaboration as merely instrumentalist, while they inherently embody underlying relational dynamics.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research takes an interest in the police’s capacity to learn and adapt in an ongoing policy failure. Using the literature on organizational learning and adaptation, it investigates how the police combine exploration of new possibilities and exploitation of old certainties. This article delves into the Swedish police’s adaptation to a wave of organized and aggravated robberies that in the years around 2005 seemed out of control. It argues that the Swedish police need to create organizational ambidexterity by implementing a mix of exploitation and exploration, as well as engaging societal actors external to the police when old practices run dry. This means that the law and order sector needs to refine their competences, utilize new ideas, and promote innovation from companies and other authorities for dealing with the tasks at hand. Furthermore, the organizational theory tool-box has proven that it has great potential for diagnosing current learning and adaptation efforts within the law and order sector, as they happen.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study of intelligence oversight captures the inherently political nature of secret intelligence. However, many studies of intelligence oversight adopt rather instrumentalist views that omit important political aspects of the policy process. Typically, these studies focus on obstacles to effective oversight. This article discusses how the effectiveness of oversight can be assessed by applying broad evaluative categories that contain programmatic, process-related, political, and durability dimensions. Empirically, the study probes the case of Sweden as an illustration. Swedish oversight arrangements have on balance been successful in some dimensions, particularly the programmatic dimension, which arguably also contributed to its relative longevity
