- This article is an empirical contribution that adopts Arlie R. Hochschild’s theoretical approach to emotions and emotional work to examine the emotional dimensions of working in secure units for youth in Sweden. The institutions in focus in the study are so-called special residential homes for young people. Characteristic of these institutions is a risk-oriented approach towards the targeted group, expressed in an increasing organisational focus on security, such as high fences, locked doors and windows, cameras, alarms and far-reaching restrictions for the youth within these institutions. The aim of the present study is to analyse how these high safety demands become important and are understood by the treatment staff working at the institutions, with a focus on how this understanding is expressed in emotional work. In the analysis, we show that the safety of special residential homes cannot be reduced only to spatial and material dimensions but that safety is also something that is largely achieved done by the treatment staff through the emotional work they perform. We describe two prominent strategies in this emotional work, which we call being on guard without showing it and backing each other up. With Hochschild, we can also capture the interaction that takes place between the institutional context and the emotional work of the treatment staff’s emotional work and how the treatment assistants’ work demands a comprehensive surface action. The empirical basis for the study includes two ethnographic research projects, which comprise seven departments for boys and young men aged 13–21, divided into five special residential homes. The material for the present article is based on participatory observations and interviews with the institutions’ treatment staff.

- What characterizes the regulocrats within the higher education sector in Norway andSweden? How can the regulocrats’ role be related to the development of specific instituti-onal designs within the higher education sector? These questions are answered by meansof empirical studies of regulocrats in Norway and Sweden, within the field of higher edu-cation regulation. The regulocrats are an emerging profession working in autonomoussingle purpose regulatory agencies. The profession is increasingly important to the imp-lementation of policy and regulation. There is surprisingly little empirical evidence aboutthis professional role, and the article shows that the professionalization of the regulocratsis related to the ideal of independence. The emerging profession contributes to the insti-tutional design of regulocracy or regulatory capitalism, which implies a transformation ofthe classical bureaucracy in the modern administrative state, where all (both organizations,groups and individuals) are expected to invest more in regulation, understood as monito-ring, supervision, transparency and control. Within the higher education sector, regulati-ons are perceived as important because they benefit (the individual) students and creategood conditions for making rational choices in the education market. Although the regu-locrats in Norway and Sweden share much of the same professional ideals, there are alsodifferences between the two countries. Where the Swedish regulocrats are formalistic, theNorwegian counterpart is sensitive.

- Hans Skjervheim was one of the most influential philosophers of social science in the Scandinavian countries during the twentieth century. This paper contributes to the understanding of one of his central meta-scientific distinctions – between the participant and the spectator – by relating him to surprisingly similar distinctions found in the works of Max Scheler. It is well-known that Skjervheim studied Scheler, but the latter’s direct (and partly unacknowledged) influence on Skjervheim’s central distinction has not been noticed. Through an examination of similarities between Skjervheim and Scheler, an interpretation of Skjervheim is reached, which renders, so the paper additionally argues, some contemporary criticism of his work less valid than might be thought.
