Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The main problem discussed in this paper is that the legal system might be dysfunctional to various political participatory ambitions. Participation implies inclusion, but we see examples of exclusion that originate from internal operations of the legal system. Considering the many instances of participatory instruments embedded in legal frameworks in many sectors of society, it is important to ask what kind of problems the law might cause and the reasons behind these problems. With environmental law and regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as examples, this essay analyses the paradoxical tendencies of the legal system to exclude citizens even when regulations have the purpose of including them. The scientific residence of this essay is sociology of law.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The issue of participation is of interest to scholars in law because of its relation to new forms of governance and regulation (Black 2000, 2001; de Burca and Scott 2006). Empirical studies of participation in biotechnology licensing show however that such procedures “itself may cause serious trouble when it is embedded in a formal procedure with a relatively strong legal framework.” (Bora & Hausendorf 2006: 478) Taking this as an example, the main problem discussed in this paper is that the legal system might be dysfunctional to various political participatory ambitions. Participation implies inclusion, but we see examples of exclusion that originate from the internal operations of the legal system. Considering the many instances of participatory instruments embedded in legal frameworks in many sectors of society, for instance environmental matters, it is important to ask what kind of problems the law might cause and the reasons behind these problems. With environmental law and regulation of genetically modifi ed organisms (GMOs) as an example, this essay analyses the paradoxical tendencies of the legal system to exclude citizens even when regulations have the purpose of including citizens. The scientifi c residence of this essay is sociology of law.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- För rättssociologin utgör normer det centrala begreppet och normer är rättssociologins främsta studieobjekt – i samhället och i rätten. Om man utgår från att normer (sociala och rättsliga) har en växlande (eller dubbel) ontologi och att vi till och med kan säga att normers väsen är att överbrygga varat och börat, ställs vi inför utmaningar rent kunskapsteoretiskt. Vilken vetenskaplig metod förmår att omfatta såväl varat som börat? Vi menar att hos Charles S. Peirce har fört fram viktiga argument. Peirce frågade sig om all forskning måste organiseras på ett strikt induktivt eller deduktivt sätt. Han argumenterade för ett tredje sätt att betrakta vetenskapen – nämligen ur ett abduktivt perspektiv. Den här artikeln argumenterar för att den rättssociologiska normforskningen skall beakta Peirce argument och anamma en abduktiv forskningsstrategi.

Norms and legal rules : An investigation of the tunnel construction through the Hallandsås ridge
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 1992 Swedens biggest tunnelproject begun. Two 8.5 km tunnels should cross a big ridge in southern Sweden which was seen as an obstacle to a fast and efficient railway line connecting Oslo and Gothenburg with Malmö and Copenhagen. However, the project had to stop in 1997 due to environmental damages. With only a third of the tunnel accomplished, the project was also much delayed and had a heavy budget overdraft. This socio-legal dissertation departes from the ambition to answer the overall question how this environmental accident could happen and what role the law played. The law is considered to be a subcategory of norms, and therefore is this latter category used to understand the project and the law. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is to understand and describe this project in terms of norms. A secondary purpose is to develop a method for this. The theoretical point of departure is norms in general. A new perspective on norms is however applied in this study. This new perspective suggests that societal systems such as economy and politics can have normative effects and are therefore included in the concept of norms. Another assumption is that norms guide actions. A socio-legal perspective entail that the project is investigated from three perspectives: the course of events, the legal dimension and the normative dimension. After the course of events is described, the legal dimension is analysed in order to find the decisions and the rules that matters in the project. Then the normative dimension is reconstructed with a heuristic model. Finally, a ‘norm' that has guided the actions in the project is constructed. This ‘norm' is built up by four action-oriented systems: the socio-cultural system, the political-administrative system, the economical system and the natural system. The dissertation comes to the result that we can talk about a normative structure that dominates the project and that the law is part of this structure. This is due to the strong consensus about the basic values which the project is deeply rooted in and to the fact that the law seems to express the normativity of other action-oriented systems, but less so the socio-cultural or the natural systems. Further, the study indicates that the political system seems to intervene in the process of evaluating what is technically possible. Finally, the overall normative perspective adopted here, is thus a way to understand how the law covariates with other normative systems and what the effects are of this. It has also been possible to describe this in figures, however in broad outlines.
