Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den globala samhällsomvälvande #metoo-rörelsen som pågår i vår tid visar att genusrättsvetenskapens frågor om rätt och kön är centrala. I denna boks upplaga fördjupas ämnet genusrättsvetenskap: ett särskilt forskningsperspektiv på juridiken och ett kunskapsområde inom rättsvetenskapen. I forskningsfältet analyseras rätten och rättsvetenskapen med hjälp av genusrättsvetenskapliga teorier, metoder och begrepp, där kön och genus är de centrala begreppen.

Self-Determination, Legal Competence And Human Dignity In Social Care For Older Persons : The Capabilities Approach In Legal Scholarship
- 2019
-
In: IAGG-ER Conference 2019.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Objectives: This paper addresses the tensions between self-determination and human dignity within the Swedish legal system regarding social care for older people. What if a person does not have the physical or cognitive ability to make decisions, or if a person decides to live in a way that is not in accordance with a reasonable standard of living? The legal system offers legal representation in the first situation. The second situation is more complicated. The obligation for the municipalities to ensure everyone human dignity and a life in accordance with fundamental values, such as a reasonable standard of living, irrespective of the person’s own wishes, might be controversial and contradictory to self-determination. Theories and methods: The tensions are elaborated with help of the capabilities approach. formulated by Sen and further elaborated by Nussbaum (who extended the capability concept to plural. The capabilities approach is sensitive towards inequalities and lack of resources for a part of the population, and meets the need for acknowledging distribution, and additionally, raising the levels of life quality (Nussbaum 2013). The approach is used to analyze the impact of legal and political obligations expressed in legal texts for the specific group of older persons. Here, in this paper the focus is on the macro level, how legal regulation promotes or hindrances capability for older persons. Results: Capability is not only a matter of self-determination and autonomy, but also considerations and care for persons who are not in a situation where they have or are able to have concern for themselves. To enable and empower someone requires support, and law is part of the structural support that form the living conditions for individuals. Conclusion: The capabilities approach might be of help in an argumentation stressing the importance of balancing the, to some extent contradictory, concepts legal competence, self-determination and human dignity in order to promote the capability of older persons.

Building Systems for Freedom of Expression in a Digital Era: Considering Sweden
- 2015
-
In: Nordmedia Mobile presence-Mobile Modernities.13-15 Aaug. Copenhagen.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- By combining law and media studies this paper considers the challenges posed to freedom of expression in a changing media landscape. When media business models are in a crisis, the regulatory framework is also put under pressure. Policies, legislation and self-regulation have all been developed in accordance with business models based on a division between editorial and commercial content. This division is important for press legitimacy, which relies on independence not only from the state but also from commercial interests. We focus on how to build sustainable democratic regulatory frameworks for the media and consider different roles for the state as non-intervening or active. The goal is a system with a high degree of media independence guaranteeing freedom of expression as a right for individuals and as a common good. Two diverging ideas are relevant here, which in an international context are often framed as negative vs. positive freedom of expression. The negative view is that the state should intervene as little as possible; this view advocates a limitation on government action that restricts speech. The positive view is that the state should do more and be active in supporting freedom of expression; merely not restricting speech is insufficient to create the conditions for the media’s democratic role. Future challenges include how to maintain the division between editorial and commercial content, and who should take responsibility for maintaining the division, the state or the market.

- 2016
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Blurring the Lines: Market-Driven and Democracy-Driven Freedom of Expression focuses on challenges from the market to free speech and how free speech can be protected, promoted and developed when lines between journalism and advertising are blurred. With contributions from 20 scholars in law, media studies and philosophy, it explores an issue deserving greater attention, market pressures on freedom of expression. The role of commercial constraints on speech, restrictions and control of media content and the responsibility of state institutions in protecting free speech are some of the topics scrutinized from a democratic free speech perspective.

Dette brenner jeg for! Festskrift til Hege Brækhus 70 år
- 2019
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I dette festskriftet til Hege Brækhus bidrar et stort antall kolleger og kontakter til å anerkjenne Hege og hennes engasjement på ulike områder innenfor rettsvitenskapen i samfunnsmessig viktige spørsmål. Interessen for og betoningen av økonomien som sentral for et menneskes selvstendighet, i kombinasjon med det rent konkrete rommet, er så karakteristisk for Hege. Hun er en uvanlig person innenfor akademia, en person som har evne til å kombinere en akademisk karriere med et sterkt innslag av pragmatisme og nærhet til hverdagens praktiske aspekter, som arbeidsvilkår, lønn og karriereutvikling. Forfatterne representerer både samfunnsvitenskap og et bredt spekter av rettsvitenskap. Alle har skrevet om noe de selv brenner for - samfunnsmessige spørsmål av ulik art, behov for regelendringer, praksis man er kritisk til, osv. Boka har et stort spenn, både tematisk og ved inkludering av ulike fag, tradisjoner og metoder. Som helhet utgjør dette et festskrift som avspeiler «state of the art» når det gjelder engasjement blant forskere anno 2019.
