Defining and Analyzing “Resistance”: Possible Entrances to the Study of Subversive Practices
- 2016
-
In: Alternatives: Global, Local, Political. - THOUSAND OAKS, CA 91320 USA : SAGE Publications. - 0304-3754 .- 2163-3150. ; 41:3, s. 137-153
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores the meaning of “resistance” and suggests a new path for “resistance studies,” which is an emerging and interdisciplinary field of the social sciences that is still relatively fragmented and heterogeneous. Resistance has often been connected with antisocial attitudes, destructiveness, reactionary or revolutionary ideologies, unusual and sudden explosions of violence, and emotional outbursts. However, we wish to add to this conceptualization by arguing that resistance also has the potential to be productive, plural and fluid, and integrated into everyday social life. The first major part of the article is devoted to discuss existing understandings of resistance with the aim of seeking to capture distinctive features and boundaries of this social phenomenon. Among other things, we will explore resistance in relation to other key concepts and related research fields. We then, in the article’s second major part, propose a number of analytical categories and possible entrances aiming at inspire more in-depth studies of resistance.

(Re)thinking the Precarity of Swedish Migrants: Governing through Decelerations and Timescapes
- 2019
-
In: Journal of Refugee Studies. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0951-6328 .- 1471-6925. ; 32:1, s. 144-161
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article uses the concept of ‘time’ in order to better understand the situation of precarious migrants in Sweden. Through analysing a number of reports and interviews undertaken with newly arrived migrants in Sweden, it displays how different temporal understandings of the migrants are linked to and managed by governing bodies, laws and regulations. The article centres around two related research questions: (i) What constructions of time are used in the governing of precarious migrants? and (ii) How do these migrants understand their own and society’s time?

De/Politicization as resistance: the ‘missing women’ in India
- 2023
-
In: Journal of Political Power. - 2158-379X .- 2158-3803. ; 16:2, s. 177-192
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Resistance is often depicted in terms of antagonism, in which its core is the politicization of different issues or identities. This paper, however, seeks to add to previous research by displaying how depoliticization could also be understood as a form of resistance. De/Politicization has previously been addressed in the Social Sciences as a power tactic. But, by bringing insight from, as well as illuminating, the ‘missing women’ situation in India, we suggest that depoliticization could also be considered a tactical form of dissent.

Back to the future: Promoting peace through international law
- 2017
-
In: Leiden Journal of International Law. - 0922-1565 .- 1478-9698. ; 30, s. 775-792
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The world as a whole has not been at peace since 1914, and it is definitely not at peace today. David J. Dunn argues that this state of affairs may be due, in no small part, to aspects of the conventional wisdom that informs practical foreign policy and diplomacy. For example, the ancient notion si vis pacem, para bellum [if you desire peace, prepare for war] (Vegetius) or the nineteenth century idea that argues ‘[w]e have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow’ (Lord Palmerston). These ‘insights’ neatly summarize the intellectual core of political realism; in particular, the ‘balance-of-power’ doctrine.

Dissident Voices in International Criminal Law
- 2015
-
In: Leiden Journal of International Law. - 0922-1565. ; 28:3, s. 673-689
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Since the end of the Cold War, societies from the former Soviet Union and others throughout Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America have overthrown dictators and other authoritative rulers in the hope of allowing democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. In some cases, the change has been violent and drawn out, while in other cases the change has been quick and (more or less) non-violent. Regardless of whether the change has been violent or not, a crucial question during and after transition is: In what ways should post-authoritarian and/or post-conflict societies deal with their ‘evil’ past in order to ‘enable the state itself to [once again] function as a moral agent’? This question constitutes the very core of what is known as ‘transitional justice’ (TJ).
