Managing panic-stricken crowds: The need in quantitative models for social dynamics
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Abstract Booklet, The 8th Annual Conference of the European Sociological Association.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Panics typically occur during disaster or social crisis. Panics in crowds in public sites (airports, hospitals, supermarkets, office buildings, air- or sea-liners, trains, stadiums, downtown areas, etc.) often cause stampedes leading to injuries or deaths. How can we best organize public events at existing sites in order to prevent the tragic outcomes? How can one design new public sites to avoid the consequences of panic? What methods and tools can be applied? These questions determine the focus of the present work. Obviously, experimental approaches are inapplicable. Intuitive problem solving does not assure specific and consistent solutions. Therefore, the work concentrates on the non-intuitive, model-based approaches. Evaluation of the model-based solutions involves quantitative characteristics, e.g., the time of the evacuation, the probability for individuals to get injured, the concentration of oxygen, etc. Subsequently, any suitable model must be quantitative. Moreover, the behaviour of crowds develops continuously in both space and time. Thus, the models must also be space-time continuous. The work analyzes these and other features of the models for social dynamics and emphasizes the key differences from the dynamical models in the natural sciences studying nonliving matter. The related application aspects and directions for future research are also discussed.

Ai Weiwei and JR. Political Artists and Activist Artists and the Plight of Refugees
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Mediterranean Knowledge. - 2499-930X. ; 4:2, s. 183-202
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article will address Ai Weiwei’s and JR’s political engagement with the refugee crisis, the former as a political artist and the latter as an activist artist. Ai, in a series of conceptual installations and the feature film Human Flow, as did JR at Tecate on the Mexican-US border, have sought to shed light on the securitization of migration and the hollowness of neoliberalism’s human rights discourse. More generally, the article will interrogate the roles of the socially concerned political artist and the socially involved activist artist. An underlying question deals with the power of representation inevitably wielded by artists. While the ‘dilemma of representation’ cannot be resolved, the article explores the different approaches to this dilemma employed by Ai and JR to mitigate the dilemma.

European Anti-Austerity Protests: Beyond “old” and “new” social movements?
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Acta Sociologica. - : SAGE Publications. - 0001-6993 .- 1502-3869. ; 58:4, s. 293-310
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the social composition of participants in anti-austerity protests taking place in Belgium, Italy, Spain and the UK between 2010 and 2012, based on over 3000 questionnaires distributed to protest participants according to a standardized method. Employing a distinction between three types of mobilizations, we compare protests anchored in the traditional ‘old’ labour movements, protests by smaller radical leftist unions and parties, and the ostensibly newer kinds of mobilizations in the form of Indignados and Occupy protests. Although easily forgotten, we argue that the two former types of anti-austerity protests deserve equal attention from researchers. We conclude that there are significant differences between the protest categories in terms of socio-demographic characteristics of their participants, but the participants nevertheless appear to maintain surprisingly similar political values across demonstration types. Class identification also differed. The participants in the Indignados/Occupy protests had a markedly lower degree of identification with the working class – regardless of the ‘objective’ labour market position and controlling for country differences. These aspects relate to the classic distinction between ‘old’ and ‘new’ social movements, but we argue that it risks obscuring a more complex pattern of similarities and differences between different anti-austerity mobilizations.

Humanitarian Border Workers in Confrontation with the Swedish State's Border Making Practices: "The Death of the Most Generous Country on Earth"
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Borderlands Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0886-5655 .- 2159-1229. ; 35:3, s. 317-333
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We most often talk about state bordering practices: those activities engaged in by states that constitute, sustain or modify borders between states. While the role of states is central in the study of migration processes this, however, underestimates the roles that non-state actors play in borderwork. State bordering practices are to a large degree performed in interaction with other types of non-state actors, processes and organizations. In focus for this study are the state’s border making practices in confrontation with the borderwork of humanitarian volunteers, which brought into sharp relief the underlying tension between the Swedish state’s humanitarian commitments and securitization. In this paper I will discuss the role of ordinary people in border practices on the basis of media sources, relevant websites and secondary sources collected in Sweden in autumn 2015 during what has been called the ‘refugee crisis’.

Introduction to the Special Issue “Policing Ethnicity: Between the Rhetoric of Inclusion and the Policies and Practices of Exclusion”
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Social Inclusion. - 2183-2803. ; 2:3, s. 1-4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- On the one hand European countries talk the humanitarian and cosmopolitan politics of inclusion of ethnic minorities with a battery of integration policies, on the other hand these same societies practice the policies and practices of exclusion. In this special issue we address this disjuncture and what we refer to as the European moral dilemma, in much the same way that Gunnar Myrdahl, in his influential study from 1944—The American Dilemma—pointed out that the oppression of Black people living in the US was at odds with the country’s moral grounds, its founding creed that all men are created equal and are endowed “with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Declaration of Independence). This special issue does not only include articles from European contexts, however the majority are analyses of European ethnic minority policies and practices. Nonetheless, all of the articles address in different ways how the rhetoric of inclusion is all too often at odds with the practices and policies of exclusion and control. In focus is what we call the policing of ethnicity, that is, the governance of inclusion and exclusion along ethnic lines.

Legitimacy and the Swedish Security Service's Attempts to Mobilize Muslim Communities
- 2012
-
Ingår i: International journal of criminology and sociology. - 1929-4409. ; 1:1, s. 109-120
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper addresses how the Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) is attempting to mobilize the support of the Muslim communities in their counterterrorism strategy, together with their measures to prevent radicalisation processes among Muslim young people. Under what circumstances can we find voluntary cooperation by Muslim Swedes in the state’s anti-terror policing efforts and under what circumstances can we expect that voluntary cooperation will be withheld? The analysis focuses two intertwined factors which I argue influence voluntary cooperation: the potential unintended consequences of the Security Service’s outreach activities and the link between cooperation, institutional legitimacy and procedural justice. It is argued that both the ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ aspects of the Swedish Security Service’s preventive, respective control and intelligence strategies, interconnect to produce unanticipated and unwanted consequences. The Swedish Security Service’s outreach programme can have the unintended consequence that instead of counteracting radicalization processes, the programme, which targets practicing Muslims as per definition potential terrorists, can very well lead to radicalization among young Muslims with experiences of misrecognition.

May Day Demonstrations in Five European Countries
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Mobilization: the international quarterly review of social movement research. - 1086-671X. ; 17:3, s. 281-300
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we argue that there is an element of rituality in all political demonstrations. This rituality can be either primarily oriented toward the past and designed to consolidate the configuration of political power—hence official—or oriented towards the future and focused on challenging existing power structures—hence oppositional. We apply this conceptual framework in a comparison of May Day demonstrations in Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom in 2010. The demonstrations display significant differences in terms of officiality and oppositionality. Our study provides strong evidence that these differences cannot be explained solely—if at all—by stable elements of the national political opportunity structures. Instead, differences in degrees of oppositionality and officiality among May Day demonstrations should be primarily understood in terms of cultural traditions in combination with volatile factors such as the political orientation of the incumbent government and the level of grievances.

‘Normalized’ Pride? : Pride parade participants in six European countries

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on quantitative survey data collected during Pride parades in six European countries – the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland – we analyse who participates in Pride parades. Engaging with the so-called protest normalization thesis we ask: are Pride parade participants, aside from sexual orientation, representative of the wider populace? In none of the countries could we find indications that Pride participants mirror the general populations. The parades remain dominated by well-educated, middle strata youth, rich in political resources. However, we find variation between countries, which we link to differences in elite and public support for LGBT rights. © 2017, The Author(s) 2017.

Pride Parades and LGBT Movements: Political Participation in an International Comparative Perspective
- 2018
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Today, Pride parades are staged in countries and localities across the globe, providing the most visible manifestations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex movements and politics. Pride Parades and LGBT Movements contributes to a better understanding of LGBT protest dynamics through a comparative study of eleven Pride parades in seven European countries– Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK– and Mexico. Peterson, Wahlström and Wennerhag uncover the dynamics producing similarities and differences between Pride parades, using unique data from surveys of Pride participants and qualitative interviews with parade organizers and key LGBT activists. In addition to outlining the histories of Pride in the respective countries, the authors explore how the different political and cultural contexts influence: Who participates, in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and political orientations; what Pride parades mean for their participants; how participants were mobilized; how Pride organizers relate to allies and what strategies they employ for their performances of Pride. This book will be of interest to political scientists and sociologists with an interest in LGBT studies, social movements, comparative politics and political behavior and participation.

Repression: The governance of domestic dissent
- 2015
-
Ingår i: The Oxford Handbook of Social Movements. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 9780199678402 ; , s. 634-652

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Social movement protest and repression are inextricably joined. In this chapter we make a case for conceptualizing repression as the governance of domestic dissent. Repression or policing contention is a dispersed mechanism for the governance of the dominant political and economic order. In order to survey the vast literature on repression our model for understanding the forms of governing dissent departs from three conceptual dimensions. The scale dimension denotes the geographic and operational scale of the governance of dissent. The institutional dimension tackles the identity of the actors governing dissent—from actors more or less tightly linked to the national government to private security and civil society actors that act more or less independently of any state. Finally, the functional dimension addresses the ways that dissent is governed—ranging from subtle forms of channeling, through intimidation and symbolic violence, to violent coercion at the other end of the spectrum.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ordinary people have often confronted more powerful opponents expressing their grievances and demands for restitution. The forms or types of collective actions taken vary widely, ranging from more conventional strategies of political persuasion such as petitioning and legal demonstrations, to more disruptive tactics such as strikes, sit-ins and occupations, to more violent acts that inflict material and economic damage and loss of life. Just as societies have transformed over time the forms of social protest have changed over time. Social protest from our earliest history to today is a potent and effective motor for social change.

Sweden 1950–2015: Contentious Politics and Social Movements between Confrontation and Conditioned Cooperation
- 2017

Ingår i: Mikkelsen F., Kjeldstadli K., Nyzell S. (eds) Popular Struggle and Democracy in Scandinavia: 1700-Present. - Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9781137578495 ; , s. 377-432

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter we provide a historical overview of the major trends in contentious politics in Sweden from 1950 to 2015. Considering that protest during this period (especially from the 1960s onwards) rapidly proliferated, involving a number of forms and acting on a multiplicity of social conflicts, we provide a thematic account, focusing on the major conflicts and the social movements that defined the space of contentious politics of the period. Four protest waves are outlined, which largely correspond to transnational developments but in many cases display strong elements of national and local articulation. We argue that contentious politics in Sweden in the post-war era is profoundly influenced by the particular relationship between state and civil society defining the Swedish welfare model.

Swedish Trade Unionism – a Renewed Social Movement?
- 2010
-
Ingår i: XVII World Congress of Sociology, Göteborg, 11-17 july 2010.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A Legion of literature has developed referring to a ‘new labour internationalism’ emerging that is a significant break from the influential post-war trend of nation-statist unionism. From the horizon of the Swedish labour movement we interrogate this popular paradigm. On the basis of a questionnaire distributed among marchers during the 2009 May 1st labour demonstrations in Gothenburg we evaluate the potential among grassroots union activists to lend their solidarity to labour struggles beyond Sweden’s borders, as well as their political concern in general for the wider global issues of environmental threats, third world poverty, and human rights. On the basis of interviews with union officials, together with relevant union documents, we investigate union leadership’s position towards trans-border cooperative efforts within the European Union Movement, as well as towards collaboration with other social movement NGO’s on specific issues. The questions we pose focus the Swedish Labour Union’s position towards European labour strategies in the face of the global economic and climate crises and whether these positions can be interpreted as including international solidarity or rather, explicitly or implicitly, elements of chauvinism, paternalism and protectionism. In conclusion we juxtapose our findings from the two studies to investigate differences in support for trans-border union activism.

Swedish trade unionism: A renewed social movement?

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Claims as to the emergence of a new phase of unionism – social movement unionism – returning to its original ‘counter-cultural roots’, are closely allied with the claims as to a ‘new labour internationalism’ that is a significant break from the influential postwar trend of nation-statist unionism. This article interrogates these two popular paradigms from the perspective of the Swedish labour movement. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with union officials, as well as quantitative analysis of union homepage content and responses to surveys among May Day demonstrators. The general conclusion as regards social movement unionism in Sweden is that the major unions, although increasingly interested in cooperation with social movement organizations, are still far from changing the repertoire of action that has been predominant in the postwar period. International solidarity – among both union officials and grassroots activists – is strongly ambivalent, and attitudes to international support oscillate between charity and self-interest.
