Hur mår den svenska yrkesfiskaren? En enkätundersökning om fiskelicensinnehavare, 2019
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur mår den svenska yrkesfiskaren idag? För att utreda hur yrkesfiskare i dagens Sverige utövar sitt yrke, vilka utmaningar de möter, vilka frågor och problemområden de vill lyfta fram, och i vilken grad de är medlemmar i Sveriges erkända producentorganisationer (PO) har forskare vid Göteborgs universitet, i samarbete med Marint centrum i Simrishamn, skickat en enkät till Sveriges 835 fiskelicensinnehavare. Rapporten baseras på 351 respondenter, motsvarande 42% av alla Sveriges fiskelicensinnehavare. Enkäten var första steget i en längre undersökning som nu går in i en dialogfas.

Röster från svenskt yrkesfiske: Rapport om uppföljningsintervjuer
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport redovisar återkommande mönster från 24 intervjuer med svenska yrkesfiskare genomförda 2020. Yrkesfiskarna intervjuades i samband med det Formas-finansierade forskningsprojektet ”Att fiska efter lösningar: samhällsekonomi och hållbar kustutveckling i Sverige.” Syftet med intervjuerna var att skapa en djupare och mer detaljerad bild av de förutsättningar och utmaningar som svenskt yrkesfiske står inför. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer ville vi följa upp en enkät rörande yrkesfisket, som vi skickade ut under juni 2019 och sammanställde i rapporten ”Hur mår den svenska yrkesfiskaren? En enkätundersökning om fiskelicensinnehavare, 2019” (http://hdl.handle.net/2077/64062). Utöver fördjupande frågor i relation till enkätstudiens resultat inkluderade intervjuerna frågor inspirerade av den samhällsvetenskapliga litteraturen om yrkesfiskare i Europa och Nordamerika, för att se hur fisket i Sverige skiljer sig från, eller liknar, fiske på andra platser som präglas av liknande utmaningar.

Sweden’s good fishers: Skills and values in a transforming social-ecological field

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article we build on the “good farmer” literature to explore how Swedish coastal fishers represented the “good fisher” in the context of transformations in the social-ecological field of commercial fishing. Anthropological and other social science research on the “good farmer,” “good fisher,” “good crofter” and related life-modes, works against the reductionist models of farmers, fishers, and other livelihood actors as driven by profit or economic need. When such models inform environmental policy, management, and activism, they often lead to unintended and unfortunate consequences. Here, drawing on the Bourdieusian “good farmer” tradition, we use interviews and ethnographic materials to investigate what makes the “good fisher” in Swedish coastal fishing, paying particular attention to how fishers have responded to social and ecological changes by reskilling and developing a new practical sense for their profession. Our interlocutors experienced the transformations in Swedish coastal fishing as significantly modifying the skilled performance of fishing, yet the moral values that undergirded their notions of the “good fisher” closely resemble those described in the social science literature on coastal fishers. We argue that these stable moral values relate to the stakes and interests which animate commercial fishing as a social-ecological field, which non-fishers often misunderstand or neglect. Our study challenges reductionist models of fishers and other livelihood actors, a task that many scholars regard as crucial for making progress toward sustainable food, while reworking Bourdieusian theory deployed in “good farmer” research to include not only social but also ecological dimensions.

Throughput legitimacy in Swedish fisheries governance: Views from coastal fishers
- 2021
-
Ingår i: MARE conference.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Many scholars have noted a participatory turn in democratic governance, including in relation to environmental management. The EU and Nordic countries have committed to the participatory ideals outlined in the Aarhus Convention, which give citizens the right to information about, participation in, and pursuit of justice concerning decisions about the environmen . In Sweden and the wider European context, greater levels of stakeholder and citizen participation in environmental decision-making are said to enhance the legitimacy of policy, make policy more responsive to local circumstances, contribute to fairness and consensus-building among differently-situated actors, and increase levels of acceptance and compliance, even in circumstances where outcomes are not viewed as desireable. Yet scholars have also found that European states fail to achieve the level and quality of participation needed to realise these aims. In this paper we investigate Swedish coastal fishers’ experiences of participatory democracy in fisheries governance, drawing on a national survey of commercial fishing license holders and semi-structured interviews with 21 coastal fishers. Taking our cue from scholarship which argues that democratic participation in environmental governance entails more than representation, we analyse coastal fishers’ views of fisheries management through the lens of throughput legitimacy or legitimate throughput. This concept, developed in studies of European politics and policy in the latter half of the 2000s and early 2010s, focuses attention on governance processes, as opposed to institutional design (representation, input) or performance (outcomes). While throughput legitimacy has been used to investigate environmental governance in other European contexts, this study is the first to apply the concept to fisheries governance and to a Swedish environmental agency. Our study shows the concept’s utility for analysing the extent to which “the experience of those who draw fish out of the water” (Chuenpagdee & Jentoft, 2015), p.9) is meaningfully incorporated in Swedish fisheries management. Our case also confirms, as Schmidt and Wood (2019) suggest, that not all of the criteria for throughput legitimacy are equally important to all stakeholders. Finally, our materials also indicate that, contrary to other scholarship, governance processes based on bargaining and agonistic discussions can be perceived as highly legitimate.

Aligning top-down and bottom-up modes of governance? How EU Fisheries Local Action Groups support small-scale fisheries and coastal community development in Sweden
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Small-scale fisheries and coastal communities experienced dramatic downward trends over recent decades impacting rural development on European coastlines. Fisheries governance in the European Union (EU) follows exogenous top-down regulations steering fishing practices through detailed regulations. In contrast, the EU's structural funding system of Fisheries Local Action Groups (FLAGs) involves an endogenous approach consisting of more participatory bottom-up processes. This article explores these approaches by investigating the capacity of Swedish FLAGs to support small-scale fisheries and coastal communities. Using document analyses and interviews, we show that, in principle, the FLAG approach has the capacity to support local fisheries developments and to foreground small-scale fisheries interests in combination with community interests. However, the unique Swedish FLAG experience reveals a diminished scope for including small-scale fisheries' and coastal communities' interests on a structural basis. The Swedish FLAG experience, we conclude, mirrors a path-dependent trajectory of marginalisation and disempowerment of local fisheries interests hampering the potential of endogenous development.

A new hope for small-scale fisheries through local action groups? Comparing Finnish and Swedish experiences

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- New forms of institutional support within modern multi-level fisheries governance are urgently needed to address the decline of coastal and inland fisheries. The EU-funded Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) initiative promises new hope to small-scale fishers by channelling support for the development of local fishing communities. This paper analyses the potential of FLAGs to contribute towards revitalizing small-scale fisheries in Nordic settings. Drawing on documents, surveys and interviews, we compare the implementation of FLAGs in Finland and Sweden. These countries were selected for analysis because they exhibit major differences in the implementation of FLAGs, alongside similarities in their coastal fisheries and social contexts. A special structural feature in Sweden is that FLAGs have been entirely integrated into Local Action Groups set up under the LEADER programme, an EU initiative that supports development projects in rural, coastal and urban areas. As a result, fisheries issues that used to be addressed by sectoral fishery groups are now subsumed into broader territorial initiatives. In Finland, the FLAG system still comprises independent fishery groups, which collaborate with LEADER groups. Our comparison of the two cases demonstrates the importance of dedicated institutional support for small-scale fisheries to enable them to access funding opportunities provided by the EU’s FLAG initiative. Our comparative perspective enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the pros and cons of different approaches to the implementation of this hierarchical funding system, and the extent to which they can help restore fishers’ self-reliance and benefit local fishing livelihoods.

Metelkova as Autonomous Heterotopia
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines conflicts concerning urban space, focusing on relationships between autonomous space and neoliberal urbanism through the empirical example of the cultural centre AKC Metelkova Mesto in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Through a thematic discourse analysis of activist interviews and collective statements by activist groups connected to Metelkova, research questions concern how urban conflict is constructed from the vantage point of autonomous space; what role autonomous space is assigned in relation to such conflict; and how tensions and antagonisms within the autonomous space can be understood. Theoretically we engage in a reinterpretation of the notion of heterotopia in conjunction with critical urban theory, analysing Metelkova as an autonomous heterotopia. Further, we argue that theoretisations of autonomous spaces need to consider experiences from Central and Eastern Europe, in which the conditions are shaped and constructed in conjunction with particular configurations of abruptly implemented neoliberal governance and the rise of the new authoritarianism.
