Kommunen som upphandlare, entreprenör och arbetsgivare i arbetsmarknadsintegration av utrikesfödda
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att inkludera utrikesfödda på arbetsmarknaden är en nyckelutmaning för integrationen och samhällsutvecklingen. Under senare år har flera reformer initierats i syfte att stärka genomförandet av integrationspolitiken där en mångfald aktörer involverats i insatserna för arbetsmarknadsintegration, däribland kommuner och andra lokala organisationer. Lokala initiativ för arbetsmarknadsintegration står i centrum för forskningsprojektet, Förändrade roller, framväxande nätverk: kommuner som upphandlare, arbetsgivare och entreprenör i arbetsmarknadsintegration. Kännetecknande för dessa initiativ är att de tar form och utvecklas lokalt i samverkan mellan kommuner, andra offentliga organisationer, företag och ideella organisationer. Projektet fokuserar på kommunernas roller i skapandet och spridningen av lokala, innovativa initiativ för arbetsmarknadsintegration av utrikesfödda. I rapporten diskuterar författarna sina resultat halvvägs in i projektet. Rapporten ger möjlighet att under pågående forskningsprojekt dela preliminära resultat och skapa en diskuss-ionskanal för forskare och praktiker. Tre roller diskuteras i rapporten, 1) kommunen som upphandlare, 2) kommunen som arbetsgivare, och 3) kommunen som entrepre-nör. I alla dessa roller driver, stödjer, styr och organiserar kommuner integrationspolitiska insatser i samverkan med andra – företag, ideella organisationer och offentliga myndigheter. Hur det går till och vad det betyder för kommunerna och dess samverkansparter och för möjligheten att nå framgång i integrationsarbetet är frågor som diskuteras i texten.

Forskningsprojektet Från avfallshantering till avfallsförebyggande - Rapport från seminarium I: Offentliga planer för avfallsförebyggande
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten är en första dokumentation över hur arbetet med avfallsförebyggande ser ut i Sverige idag, och hur vi rör oss framåt. Rapporten är ett viktigt dokument för att återkoppla till dem som deltog samt de som kommer att delta vid framtida tillfällen. I detta första av tre seminarier träffades deltagarna för att få en överblick över de praktiker som finns i landet och diskutera hur de kan bidra till en större förändring i avfallsförebyggandet, vilka incitament som behövs för att öka på avfallsförebyggandet i landet samt vilken roll Naturvårdsverkets avfallsförebyggande program har idag och vad det skulle kunna bidra med i framtiden.

Cities in the lead of sustainable transitions. The structuration of an emergent field of waste prevention policies in Sweden
- 2015
-
Ingår i: NESS 2015.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines the role of cities in sustainability transitions informed by institutional entrepreneurship theory, and based on the case of waste prevention projects in the city of Göteborg. The paper is structured by two research questions: how do municipalities perform the new role of waste prevention? And what are the implications of this new role for sustainable transitions? The paper shows how cities can turn into agents of change and institutional entrepreneurship through the recombination and mobilization of resources (human, financial, material and spatial), rationales (reframing symbols, challenging taboos and transforming waste socio-materialities) and relations (via internal and external collaboration, and the creation of new institutional arrangements, roles and expectations). Emerging environmental policies, such as waste prevention, represent the structuration of a new organizational field. This new generation of environmental policies operate expanding the scope of the public sector (publicness); challenging taboos such the intromission of the publicness into the privateness; and eroding a predominant pro-growth logic.

Repair Movements’ Commoning Practices. The Case of the Bike-Kitchen in Sweden.
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Opening the Bin – Helsingborg, Sweden, April 27 – 29, 2017.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In response to the current consume-and-discard society, the last years have seen a rapid proliferation of collective mobilizations around repair and maintenance, aimed at challenging the patterns of production and consumption within neoliberal capitalism. This paper contributes to current efforts to expand environmental movement and organization studies theories with the urban commons literature to explore the role of maintenance, repair and care in ‘commoning’- or in other words creating urban commons. The paper is informed by the case of the Bike-Kitchen in Gothenburg, a bicycle repair workshop where abandoned bikes are recovered and given to members who are taught to repair them. In-depth interviews, ethnographical and visual observations support the analysis. In the paper we show how through their repairing practices, these movements develop the ability to reinvent, appropriate, and provide urban commons by transforming private assets –the bikes- and space, on their own terms, as an alternative to market and State. As it has also been observed in life-style movements, our analysis also notes how the openness of the commons movement, fuels a broad recruitment of participants driven by diverse rationales and motivations. The paper shows the ability of commoners to imagine and create the value-to-be and the affordances in these assets; as well as to develop the knowledge, competences and practices needed to recover and repair the bikes and create new urban commons. It also shows how these movements, without overtly expressing a conscious political action, challenge dominant institutions such as private ownership and recall alternative imaginaries through ideas of environmental stewardship, and duties of care.

Urban commoning practices in the repair movement: Frontstaging the backstage
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Citizen-led repair initiatives that collectively create urban commons, questioning the configuration of production, consumption, and discarding within neoliberal capitalism, have emerged in recent years. This paper builds on recent discussions of the openness of the commons by examining the role of repair in commoning. It is informed by the case of the Bike Kitchen in Göteborg, using in-depth interviews as well as ethnographic and visual observations to support the analysis. Through repair practices, commoning communities can reinvent, appropriate, and create urban commons by transforming private resources – bicycles – creating common, liminal, and porous spaces between state and market. This openness of the commons allows commoners to shift roles unproblematically, alternating between the commons, state, and market. We argue that commoners’ fluid identities become the vehicle by which urban commoning practices expands beyond the commons space. This fluidity and openness also fuels the broad recruitment of participants driven by diverse and entangled rationales. Beyond the porosity of spatial arrangements, we illustrate how the dramaturgic representation of space, through simultaneous frontstaging and backstaging practices, also prevents its enclosure and allows the creation of openings through which urban commoning practices are accessed by newcomers. Finally, we call into question strict definitions of ‘commoner’ and the commoning/repair movement as limited to those who are politically engaged in opposing the enclosure of the commons. Rather, commoners become political through action, so intentionality is less relevant to prompting social change than is suggested in the literature.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: In the aftermath of the Great Recession, over 500,000 families have been evicted from their homes since Spain’s property market crashed in 2008. The response of Spanish local communities has been the emergence of a networked social movement, Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH), endeavouring to build a more sustainable future through upholding the right to housing. This chapter examines the ability of the PAH social movement to uphold the right to housing and prompt social and institutional change in Spain. Methodology/approach: This is a single-case study of the PAH social movement in Spain. The data are of three types: texts, photos, and films disseminated via the mass media, social networks, and PAH websites; informal conversations with PAH participants from Barcelona and Madrid; and observations and personal interviews held in two local PAH groups, that is, Móstoles and Elche. Findings: In this chapter, first we explore the birth of PAH and its later spread from Barcelona to hundreds of cities in Spain and beyond, as a social reaction to the economic recession and decisions made by political, administrative, and financial institutions in response to the economic crisis. Then, by analysing the internal dynamics of two PAH groups, we discuss how networked social movements such as PAH can create spaces of citizenship that challenge taken-for-granted principles of capitalism, prompting social change. Finally, we uncover how, due to PAH’s advocacy work addressing a structural lack of emergency and social housing, the Spanish public administration is developing new roles and allocating new resources to guarantee the right to housing, a social policy area historically neglected in Spain. Practical implications: New social housing offices are being established in municipalities in Spain as a result of PAH’s advocacy work. Originality/value: The strengthening of social capital and movements in the aftermath of the economic crisis has the ability to prompt investment in social areas such as housing.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- More than 350,000 families have been evicted from their homes since Spain's property market crashed in 2008. The response of the Spanish civil society has been the emergence of a large social-network movement - the Spanish Mortgage Victims Group social movement - to stop the evictions, and to change the legislation. This paper examines how urban social movements cope with socio-economic crisis, based on the case of Spanish Mortgage Victims Group. It focuses on the genesis, dissemination and stabilisation of the social movement: how the idea, the organisational structure, procedures and practices to protest against evictions originally born in Barcelona have been successfully disseminated to other cities. The analysis is informed by texts, photos and films produced by the national and international media, social networks, and the SMVG’s website. Complementary interviews are also conducted with representatives of the SMVG. The paper adopts a new institutional theories perspective within organization studies. Firstly, by using the travel metaphor to understand how the idea, structure, practices and tactics of the movement travelled to other cities. Secondly, by exploring new institutional theories applied to the understanding of how social movements are not only born as a result of institutional arrangements, but can occasionally intervene in their reform and lead to significant social changes.
