Vardagslivets finansialisering
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I internationell samhällsvetenskaplig forskning används begreppet finansialisering för att förklara och beskriva den ökade betydelse som den finansiella ekonomin har i vår tid. I den här rapporten riktar vi sökarljuset mot hur vardagslivet omvandlats och hur finansiella logikers växande inflytande förändrar människors praktiker, relationer och identiteter (Martin 2002; Langley 2008). Rapporten anknyter därmed till en framväxande forskningsriktning som intresserar sig för, vad Haiven (2014) kallar, finansialiseringens kulturer. Med vardagslivets finansialisering åsyftar vi därmed hur människors vardagliga praktiker och meningssammanhang blir allt tätare sammanvävd med den finansiella ekonomins logiker, instrument och institutioner. Rapporten har karaktären av en antologi, i vilket ett antal forskare från olika samhällsvetenskapliga discipliner beskriver hur vardagslivet finansialiserats. Rapporten börjar med ett par studier av vad finansialiseringen kan betyda för enskilda människor och grupper i deras direkta vardag. Därefter rör vi oss ut mot de mer övergripande aspekterna och konsekvenserna av vardagslivets finansialisering, med frågor som hur denna utveckling stimulerats och hanterats av statliga aktörer och privata aktörer, samt vilka konsekvenser och innebörder finansialiseringen har haft för arbetslivet, välfärdsstaten och hur finansmarknaderna reglerats.

Trade Union Cooperation in Europe : Patterns, Conditions, Issues
- 2020
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This open access book discusses transnational trade union cooperation in Europe – its forms, focuses, conditions, and obstacles. It provides an overview of existing trade union cooperation and includes detailed analyses of two specific questions: the debates on statutory minimum wages and the Posting of Workers Directive. Drawing on empirical research, the authors take a comparative approach, considering national industrial relations regimes as well as individual sectors. With the ongoing processes of integration in Europe, it has become increasingly important for unions to cooperate with regard to employers and EU institutions. The authors illustrate the interconnections between national and European industrial relations, and explore the process of European integration in labour markets. Illustrating the potential for and difficulties involved in deepening trade union cooperation across Europe, this work is a vital read for trade unionists, researchers and students interested in European trade unionism and labour markets.

Accounting for Personal Overindebtedness : Debtors' Accounts in Applications for Debt Relief at the Swedish Enforcement Authority
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Sociological Research Online. - : Sage Publications. - 1360-7804. ; 17:4, s. 114-124
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper aims to describe and understand the accounts given in applications for debt relief/adjustment in relation to the 'question situation' that overindebted person stand before in their encounters with Swedish authorities. The analysis is based on the sociology of accounts and is made against the background of previous research on overindebtedness in the Nordic countries. The paper shows that the accounts given by debtors include examples of 'refusals' and 'denials', but mainly comprise narratives and accounts centred around giving 'justifications' and 'excuses' focusing on external circumstances (illness, unemployment, divorce, bankruptcy), helplessness, or a lack of knowledge or intent (others causing the debt, or problems of addiction). The applications also contain some 'concessions', 'pledges' and 'appeals' by which the debtors try to show that they are improving in taking economic responsibility and deserve debt relief. The analysis thereby shows which accounts are considered legitimate, but also that the framing cues defining and delimiting the question situation are too weak to produce uniform forms of accounting. Many applicants for debt relief respond to a wide definition of the question situation - one that relates to self-image and social identity.

Accounting for personal overindebtedness: Debtors’ accounts in applications for debt relief at the Swedish Enforcement Agency
- 2011
-
Ingår i: 10th Conference of the European Sociological Association.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While the Swedish economy is recovering fast from the financial crisis of 2008-9, many households are still in severe and increasing debt problems, not least because of credit driven private consumption. Even though the increase of overindebted persons is coming to a halt at app. 5 % of the population, the number of applications to the Swedish Enforcement Agency for debt release is still increasing (appr 1 %). This paper is part of a project studying the process of debt relief/adjustment in Sweden and analyses 60 such applications. The aim is to describe and understand the accounts given in these applications in relation to the “question situation” that the over-indebted person stands before in their encounters with the authorities. The analysis is based on the sociology of accounts and is made against the background of previous research on the experiences of personal overindebtedness in the Nordic countries. The paper show that the accounts given by debtors include some few examples of “refusals” and “denials”, but mainly comprise of narratives and accounts centred around giving “justifications” and “excuses”, focusing on external circumstances (illness, unemployment, divorce, bankruptcy) helplessness, or a lack of knowledge or intent (others causing the debt or problems of addiction). The applications also contain “concessions”, “pledges” and “appeals” by which the debtors are trying to show that they are improving in taking economic responsibility and deserving a debt relief. The analysis thereby shows which accounts are considered being legitimate, both by the debtors and by the municipal budget- and debt advisers that are to help debtors in applying for debt relief. In addition, the analysis shows that the accounts and narratives given by the debtors often go far beyond what they are asked to explain by the Enforcement Agency, thus indicating that debtors have difficulty in bracketing explanations and accounts produced to acquire social and moral acceptance and re-establishment.

Discretion in the “Backyard of Law”: Case Handling of Debt Relief in Sweden
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Professions and Professionalism. - Oslo : OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University. - 1893-1049. ; 3:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores discretion in welfare professional work. The aim is to analyse what room for discretionary decision-making that exist in case handling of debt relief at the Swedish Enforcement Authority (SEA). The analysis is guided by a conceptual distinction between structural and epistemic aspects of discretion, as well as between substantive and procedural aspects. The data comprises official and internal SEA documents, interviews with management and staff and field notes from observations. The analysis points to a change in the balance between standards and discretion in relation to the on-going formalization of case handling at the SEA, though not in the simplistic sense that discretion is diminished through formalization. When taking into account the different analytical aspects of discretion, it is concluded that discretion is narrowed only in some respects. There is still space for case officers in selecting and interpreting information and assess-ing the conditions regarding subject matter.
