Making the most of the frame : developing the analytical potential of frame analysis
- 2018

Ingår i: Policy Studies. - : Routledge. - 0144-2872 .- 1470-1006. ; 39:2, s. 109-126-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Frame analysis has been developed and applied across contexts in several disciplines such as policy analysis, where the perspective has proven fruitful to carve out essential differences in the construction of meaning and to understand the responsiveness of the strategic use of ideas. However, this article argues in line with other scholars that the analytical potential of frame analysis is not fully utilized in most empirical studies. The article addresses two points of critique raised against frame analytical perspectives: the limited view of the framing process and the limited understanding of frame effects. We suggest two analytical dimensions that help to develop the analytical potential of frame analysis in policy analysis and beyond: firstly, the institutionalization process of frames which can capture the struggle of meaning within policy processes and also distinguish between the varying influences of different frames over space and time. Secondly, the extension of frame effects that through a reconceptualization of frame effects can capture how a frame has an effect on actors other than the audience and beyond its immediate purpose.

A legislative gender-equality norm as a catalyst for change? Discursive convergence in the case of the Swedish Parliament
- 2021
-
Ingår i: European Journal of Politics and Gender. - : Bristol University Press. - 2515-1088 .- 2515-1096. ; 4:3, s. 403-421
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article addresses the establishment of gender-equality norms in a case often presented as one of the most gender-equal legislatures in the world, namely, the Swedish Parliament (Riksdagen). Based on a series of in-depth interviews between 2005 and 2016 with 90 legislators in the Swedish Parliament, we ask whether there is agreement over gender-equality problems in Parliament that cut across gender and party affiliation, and whether there is convergence over time in this regard. Our findings show that there is a trend of convergence of the gender-inequality framings over time, which indicates the establishment of a shared legislative gender-equality norm. We suggest that a legislative gender-equality norm might work as a catalyst for progressive and continuous work in this area.

A School for all or a School for the Labour Market? : Analyzing the Goal Formulation of the Swedish Upper Secondary Education Reform
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0031-3831 .- 1470-1170. ; 61:2, s. 139-154
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The 1991, Swedish upper secondary school reform presents internationally an unusual case of the far-reaching integration of academic and vocational programmes. It has often been claimed that late tracking, such as characterizes this reform, helps to reduce inequalities between different social classes. This article addresses the question of how the government motivated and argued for a unified upper secondary school. The article finds that, contrary to expectations, an economic goal was prominent in the policy documents, and that the reform in question (postponed tracking) was not motivated primarily from an equality perspective. The article also indicates that there is a potential conflict between these two goals that has not been dealt with politically.

A special fund for gender equality? : Institutional constraints and gendered consequences in Swedish collective bargaining
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Gender, Work and Organization. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0968-6673 .- 1468-0432. ; 28:4, s. 1379-1397
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden is often described as one of the world’s most gender-equal societies, but the gender pay gap nevertheless remains large. In 2007, a special gender-equality fund that targeted women workers was successfully implemented in the collective bargaining agreement. Although it decreased the gender pay gap, it was controversial and has never been employed since. The aim of this article is to increase knowledge concerning the conditions for such “gender-equality bargaining†through a detailed empirical case study. An in-depth study of the bargaining process casts light on how the institutional features of bargaining have changed after 2007 in a way that significantly restricts further attempts to make relative wage changes in gender-segregated labor markets. The findings indicate that increased employer coordination and a strong industry norm appear to hinder gender-equality initiatives.

An Ideational Approach to Gendered Institutional Change : Revisiting the Institutionalization of a New Prostitution Regime in Sweden
- 2019
-
Ingår i: NORA Nordic journal of feminist and gender research. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2156-5503 .- 0803-8740 .- 1502-394X. ; 27:1, s. 22-40
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recent work in the field of feminist institutionalism has made important progress in furthering our understanding of gendered institutional change. I argue that gradual ideational changes play an essential role in processes of gendered institutional change, and that examining the interaction between ideas and gendered institutions is of great importance for gaining a better understanding of processes of this type. This article revisits an empirical study of gendered institutional change in Swedish prostitution policy in the effort to specify two idea-based mechanisms that are conducive to gendered change, namely, consensus concerning the problem and gendering of the problem.

Beyond client criminalization : Analyzing collaborative governance arrangements for combatting prostitution and trafficking in Sweden
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Regulation and Governance. - : Wiley. - 1748-5983 .- 1748-5991. ; 16:3, s. 818-835
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden is well known as the first country in the world to adopt client criminalization in an effort to control and eventually eliminate prostitution. Less attention has been paid to the emergence of extensive collaborative governance arrangements that serve as complements to the legal framework. The aim of this article is to provide new knowledge as it investigates the multifaceted ways in which governance arrangements have developed in Sweden, employing collaborative governance theories and the Regulatory–Intermediaries–Target model for this purpose. The strategies of responsibilization directed toward target groups that have been utilized to implement policies to control prostitution and trafficking are also explored. The article analyzes not only the rationale behind the adoption of collaborative governance in Sweden, but also the complex governance practices that have emerged in this regard, in which a range of actors are involved in policymaking and application as well as regulation. We conclude that the previous understanding of the Swedish model needs to be revised, and that although collaborative governance has made a fruitful contribution to the field in question, it also introduces new types of problems, particularly a significant increase in informality and decisionmaking outside the legal framework, primarily by civil society actors.

Class and Gender in Conflict? : Exploring Intersectionality in Practice in Swedish Gender Equality Bargaining
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Politique Européenne. - : CAIRN. - 1623-6297 .- 2105-2875. ; 74:4, s. 190-214
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2007, a controversial gender equality fund was introduced into collective bargaining in Sweden in order to decrease the gender pay gap. The present article explores the conflict associated with the fund to shed light on why it was so controversial. It also aims to further knowledge concerning the possibility of introducing an intersectional perspective to the bargaining agenda that accounts for both gender and class. The empirical findings demonstrate that the controversy resided in differences in how labor market inequalities are conceptualized. On a theoretical level, the article illustrates the difficulties associated with applying an intersectional perspective in practice.

Criminalising the Client : Institutional change, gendered ideas and feminist strategies
- 2017
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 1998, Sweden was the first country in the world to criminalise the purchase of sexual services, but not the sale of sex. The law represented a new prostitution regime that problematised power relations in prostitution as inherently gendered and hierarchical and made the male buyers of sexual services responsible for the act of prostitution. The Swedish case is critically important to the study of gendered institutional change and has been of empirical interest and global debate. Using the feminist institutionalism approach to the analysis, this study offers new insights to the Swedish case and provides a new analytical framework for micro-level analysis of institutional change that addresses the struggle for meaning, institutionalization of new gendered ideas, and the (strategic) actions of feminist actors.

Does Higher Education Matter for MPs in their Parliamentary Work? : Evidence from the Swedish Parliament
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Representation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0034-4893 .- 1749-4001. ; 55:1, s. 65-80

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Individuals who have a higher education are highly overrepresented in national legislative bodiesworldwide. In spite of an extensive body of literature interested in educational background and itsrelation to political activity, significantly fewer studies have engaged with the qualitative advantagesand drawbacks of legislators’educational background in their legislative work. The aim of this paper isto explore whether higher education functions as a resource for legislators in their political office. Weuse data from a unique elite survey conducted in the Swedish Parliament, which had a response rate of82% (n= 287), to investigate the relation between educational background and the internal efficacyand influence of MPs. The quantitativefindings indicate that there is little or no difference betweenlegislators with and without higher education in terms of internal efficacy and influence. Contextualis-ing thefindings with 33 elite interviews, wefind that while legislators value skills acquired throughhigher education in their work—such as the ability to handle large amounts of text and infor-mation—MPs without higher education display similar skills acquired in alternative ways.
