Addressing the Swedish large carnivore controversy : identifying roadblocks in collaborative governance to reduce conflict
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Frontiers in Conservation Science. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 2673-611X. ; 3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Europe, and many places throughout the world, the return, and preservation of large carnivores is escalating tensions between stakeholder groups, as well as between local actors and authorities. In Sweden, despite policies aimed at reducing conflict surrounding wildlife management, tensions seem to have intensified. This research investigates the collaborative governance model within Swedish wildlife management and what dampens the capacity to reduce ongoing tensions. In-depth interviews were conducted with stakeholders at different levels of wildlife management. Through an abductive approach combining empirical data from interviews and theories from the human-wildlife conflict and collaborative governance literature, we problematize the role of regional wildlife managers in this multilevel governance context, in exploration of ways to advance collaboration. Our model analyzes the challenges for wildlife managers to implement government policies based on broad international conventions while remaining accountable to local concerns. The results reveal that issues within the governance structure and relationships within management in terms of lack of legitimacy, trust, and participation, need to be addressed to create a socially viable collaborative governance regime capable of managing conflict.

En preliminär studie av samverkan kring den pågående miljöprövningen av vattenkraft : lärdomar inför de fortsatta processerna
- 2023
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Energiöverenskommelsen från 2016 slår fast att alla Sverigesvattenkraftverk ska förses med moderna miljövillkor. Idagsläget bedrivs många anläggningar med gamla tillståndmed lägre satta miljökrav än vad som behövs för att uppfyllanationella miljökvalitetsmål och EU:s vattendirektiv (Prop.2017/18:228; Prop. 2017/18:243). För att uppfylla dagensmiljökrav kan det i vissa fall komma att kräva att kraftverkenminskar sin produktion. Samtidigt har vattenkraften encentral roll i det svenska elsystemet – en roll som förstärksi och med samhällets elektrifiering och det ökade behovetav fossilfri el. Ambitionen är att moderna miljövillkor skasäkerställa både största möjliga nytta för vattenmiljön samtidigtsom en effektiv tillgång till vattenkraftsel bibehålls.Hela miljöomprövningen väntas ta omkring 20 år. För atteffektivisera och göra den komplexa processen mer legitim har kollaborativ styrning i form av samverkan mellan olikaintressenter introducerats.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Boken har titeln Dalla proposta alla protesta e ritorno: Conflitti locali e innovazione politica. Den diskuterar ett antal fall där lokala konflikter uppstått och visar hur konflikterna kan leda till politisk innovation. Bland ämnena som tas upp finns miljökatastrofer, stora infrastrukturella projekt som flygplatser och höghastighetsjärnvägar, bostadsbrist, sanering och återanvändning av förorenad mark, avfallshandläggningar samt rovdjursfrågor och konflikter som uppstått mellan jakt och lantbruk. Det finns många politiska områden där konflikter inte verkar vara möjliga att lösa och där kommuner och den lokala förvaltningen till synes förgäves kämpar för att hitta hållbara lösningar. Hur utvecklas dessa konflikter? Är motsättningarna verkligen icke-förhandlingsbara? Hindrar konflikterna normala politiska processer eller bidrar de till att förnya den offentliga politiken? Och i så fall på vilket sätt? Boken erbjuder inspirerande läsning om dess frågor.

Frontline bureaucrats in wildlife management: Caught in the dilemma between effectiveness and responsiveness
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Environmental Policy and Governance. - : Wiley. - 1756-932X .- 1756-9338. ; 32:1, s. 17-28
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Frontline bureaucrats are positioned at the interface between citizens and the state. They convert political resolution into action and in effect form the core of many public decisions through interaction and communication with both the recipients of those decisions and upper management levels that initiate them. However, dilemmas often arise when frontline bureaucrats attempt to translate political goals and strategies into local administrative praxis. The case of large carnivore management in Sweden will be used to demonstrate the insuperable difficulties that can arise when managers simultaneously need to balance the bureaucratic tasks of planning, executing, and evaluating performed decisions with attending to calls for increased responsiveness to public values in order to improve the delivery of service. This responsiveness is typically reflected through the new principles of public participation and collaboration, which are added to the bureaucracy to support the integration of broader sets of interests, experiences, and knowledge. In such an environment, the work of frontline managers becomes even more crucial in order to balance and align policy goals with the need to enhance public involvement. Our study reveals that in striving to meet the formal policy requirement to implement and lead collaboration (which in turn creates the central dilemma that concerns us here) managers develop strategies to secure effectiveness rather than responsiveness. Actually, they have few possibilities to do, otherwise when the latest policy edict clearly instructs the authorities to oversee the effective implementation and achievement of goals, leaving little opportunity to pursue genuine collaboration.

Gastronomy Tourism : An Interdisciplinary Literature Review of Research Areas, Disciplines, and Dynamics
- 2018

Ingår i: Journal of Gastronomy and Tourism. - 2169-2971 .- 2169-298X. ; 3:2, s. 131-146
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Residing with the exponential growth of gastronomy tourism research, a number of review articles have examined the relationship of gastronomy and tourism from distinct thematic and disciplinary perspectives. What remains absent is a comprehensive overview that encapsulates the interdisciplinary dimensions of this area of research. In response, this study comprehensively investigates gastronomy tourism literature utilizing a network and content analysis, with an aim to map the main subject areas concerned with gastronomy tourism and relations between varying subject areas. In doing so, themes determining gastronomy tourism and focus for future exploration are identified. The review findings suggest that the trajectory of gastronomy tourism research is characterized by the dominance of "tourism, leisure, and hospitality management" and "geography, planning, and development." Three recommendations are proposed to assist development of gastronomy tourism research: increased dialogue across subject areas, development of critical and theoretical approaches, and greater engagement with sustainability debates.

Achieving Social and Ecological Outcomes in Collaborative Environmental Governance : Good Examples from Swedish Moose Management
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Sustainability. - : MDPI. - 2071-1050. ; 13:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Collaborative governance approaches have been suggested as strategies to handle wicked environmental problems. Evaluations have found promising examples of effective natural resource governance, but also highlighted the importance of social-ecological context and institutional design. The aim of this study was to identify factors that contribute to the achievement of social and ecological sustainability within Swedish moose (Alces alces) management. In 2012, a multi-level collaborative governance regime was implemented to decrease conflicts among stakeholders. We carried out semi-structured interviews with six ‘good examples’ (i.e., Moose Management Groups that showed positive social and ecological outcomes). We found that ‘good examples’ collectively identified existing knowledge gaps and management challenges and used their discretionary power to develop procedural arrangements that are adapted to the social-ecological context, their theory of change, and attributes of local actors. This contributed to the creation of bridging social capital and principled engagement across governance levels. Thus, our results indicate the existence of higher-order social learning as well as a positive feedback from within-level collaboration dynamics to between-level collaboration. Furthermore, our study illustrates the importance of institutional flexibility to utilize the existing knowledge across stakeholder groups and to allow for adaptations based on the social learning process.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- © 2018, Published with license by Taylor & Francis © 2018 Katarina Hansson-Forman, Elsa Reimerson, Annelie Sjölander-Lindqvist, and Camilla Sandström. The governance of large carnivores is often surrounded by conflicts. Along with the difficulties of governing large carnivores through centralized, top-down governing and a general shift towards participatory approaches in natural resource governance, this has led many countries to establish various collaborative measures in large carnivore governance–often presented as a catch-all solution to problems of legitimacy, democratic deficit and effectiveness. However, the field of large carnivore governance currently lacks a coherent understanding of strengths and weaknesses of different kinds of collaborative arrangements. In this paper, we address this knowledge gap. Using the framework of modes of governance to categorize and compare the governance of large carnivores in Norway, Sweden and Finland, we discuss the potential and limitations of various governance modes and identify gaps in contemporary research literature. The main conclusion is that all three governance systems need to incorporate more interactive governance elements.

Expectations about voluntary efforts in collaborative governance and the fit with perceived prerequisites of intrinsic motivation in Sweden?s ecosystem-based moose management system

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Collaborative governance regimes may be vulnerable because of dependency on stakeholders??? voluntary engagement and efforts. This study focuses on the Swedish moose management system, a multi-level collaborative governance regime inspired by the ecosystem approach. Self-determination theory is used to explore perceived prerequisites of basic needs for intrinsic motivation across sub-groups of stakeholder representatives who are engaged across different social-ecological contexts. Questionnaire data collected among representatives at two governance levels, moose management groups (n = 624) and moose management units (n = 979), were subjected to two-step cluster analysis. The analyses revealed two sub-groups of representatives, characterized by differences in species composition and land ownership structure: managers of multi-ungulate areas and managers of large-carnivore areas. In several respects, these groups significantly differed in how they perceived the prerequisites. This included prerequisites of perceived competence with regard to their need for knowledge of topics and usefulness of monitoring methods, perceived autonomy operationalized as possibilities to perform their tasks with sufficient time, resources, and support from their organizations, and perceived relatedness to different groups of actors. Further efforts should be made to understand the conditions required for representatives to energize and direct their behavior. The institutional system must better fit the needs of stakeholder representatives across various local contexts, otherwise the space for local voluntary engagement might be hampered.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The collaborative ecosystem-based management of moose (Alces alces) in Sweden puts a strain on the involved stakeholders. Representatives have to cope with environmental uncertainty and social stress associated with goal conflicts. This article advanced the understanding of representatives' coping strategies in response to perceived challenges and how these coping strategies are associated with social trust, focusing upon salient value similarity. A mixed-method approach, combining a questionnaire survey (n = 624) and interviews (n = 21) among landowners and hunter representatives, was employed. Survey results showed that the presence of emotion-centered coping strategies that involve venting of negative emotions and behavioral disengagement were associated with relatively lower trust, whereas problem-solving centered coping was associated with relatively higher trust. The interviews indicated the importance of appointing group leaders who are skilled at initiating dialogue and working toward decisions and compromises, as this seemed to hinder expressions of emotion-centered coping strategies.

Sustaining the Public’s Positive Feelings towards Ungulates at the Local Level
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Society and Natural Resources. - : Routledge. - 0894-1920 .- 1521-0723. ; , s. 1-21
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Europe, spatial distributions and densities of ungulates have been increasing, triggering both negative and positive feelings. Ecosystem-based and collaborative approaches to wildlife management have been introduced to, among other things, consider the perspectives of the local public. Consequently, it becomes necessary to understand the public’s emotional appraisals and feelings toward the presence of moose and other ungulates. We studied four socio-ecological contexts in Sweden. Statistical analyses of a postal questionnaire (N = 1111) showed that negative feelings were weak and positive feelings were modest across all settings. In particular, wildlife value orientation of mutualism and perceptions of moose and other ungulates as supporting recreation opportunities sustained positive feelings. Currently there seems to be little need among the public to cope with negative implications of ungulates. Management may benefit from informing about adequate strategies and building social trust if negative impacts of ungulates were to become salient to the public.

Contextualizing negative attitudes to wildlife and wildlife governance in the moral economy of Swedish farmers
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Frontiers in Conservation Science. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2673-611X. ; 3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Conflicts over managing large carnivores have been prominent in Sweden in recent decades. The most significant controversies are related to wolves, but the bear, lynx, and wolverine are also included. While the state and environmental organizations make efforts to guarantee a viable population of the large protected carnivores, farmers generally have a negative attitude towards large carnivores and a low level of trust in wildlife governance. Based on 22 in-depth interviews, 37 telephone questionnaires with Swedish farmers, and an analysis of 111 applications for protective hunting, this paper aims to demonstrate how these farmers’ perspectives on large carnivores can be explained by moral (sense of right and wrong) and moral economy (a system of obligations related to values and relations intervening with political views and financial decisions). The paper argues that farming, in addition to being an economic activity, is integrated with values, heritage, and relations to other human beings and animals. Farmers understand these values to be threatened by large carnivores, especially by wolves. The paper contextualizes negative sentiments, conflicts, protests, and also illegal hunting of large carnivores in relation to a sense of morals, sense of fairness, meanings, traditions, and mechanisms of daily life. We argue that this perspective provides a lens through which to interpret the conflict between farmers on the one side and the state and animal rights activists on the other. Such interpretation has consequences for understanding the legitimacy of government, shifting the focus from the processes of political governance (predominant in liberal political philosophy) to legitimacy tied to collective notions of social goods.

Don't forget to look down – collaborative approaches to predator conservation
- 2017

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Finding effective ways of conserving large carnivores is widely recognised as a priority in conservation. However, there is disagreement about the most effective way to do this, with some favouring top-down ‘command and control’ approaches and others favouring collaboration. Arguments for coercive top-down approaches have been presented elsewhere; here we present arguments for collaboration. In many parts of the developed world, flexibility of approach is built into the legislation, so that conservation objectives are balanced with other legitimate goals. In the developing world, limited resources, poverty and weak governance mean that collaborative approaches are likely to play a particularly important part in carnivore conservation. In general, coercive policies may lead to the deterioration of political legitimacy and potentially to non-compliance issues such as illegal killing, whereas collaborative approaches may lead to psychological ownership, enhanced trust, learning, and better social outcomes. Sustainable hunting/trapping plays a crucial part in the conservation and management of many large carnivores. There are many different models for how to conserve carnivores effectively across the world, research is now required to reduce uncertainty and examine the effectiveness of these approaches in different contexts.

- Purpose This study investigates the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy Network as a global spatial brand and explore the tensions that emerge when this global brand is appropriated locally. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on case study research that uses critical discourse analysis to identify the implications of a transferable learning capacity. Findings This paper identifies three different types of tensions in place brand management that emerge during the local appropriation of global brands: tensions inherent in multi-scalarity, tensions associated with integrating governance and strategy-related tensions. Originality/value This study advances the theoretical understanding of the spatial complexity inherent in place brand management practices by focusing on the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy Network as a global brand in a Scandinavian context.

Challenges in wildlife governance - different ways forward
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Increasing numbers of wildlife species in human populated landscapes create challenges to people’s daily life and livelihoods as well as to governance. One of these challenges is the current misfit between environmental and social systems. This misfit in spatial, temporal and functional scales constitutes a source of stress to individuals and institutions and calls for new solutions. Coping, adaptation, learning and innovation are important social processes at all levels. This session aims to discuss current processes towards multispecies management in Sweden. The presentations draw on ongoing empirical research blending political science, social anthropology and environmental psychology and thereby allow for a multidisciplinary discussion of social processes and solutions.

Arsenic Fields: Community Understandings of Risk, Place, and Landscape
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Anthropological Perspectives on Environmental Communication. - Cham : Palgrave MacMillan. - 9783030780395
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is a study of the communication of environmental risk associated with the planned removal of arsenic from the copper mining fields in Riddarhyttan, central Sweden. The study was implemented using in-depth interviews with community residents and representatives from the local, regional, and national governments, as well as walk-and-talk sessions near contaminated grounds to learn about the value of these places to local people and their reflections on risk. The study identified how local residents had to navigate between messages from authorities that touching stones could be life threatening at the same time as they were told that risk was non-existent. This resulted in mixed and affective feelings regarding place, community, and the role the copper industry had played in the past. The case is an illuminating example of how perception and communication is embedded in the social and cultural reality of local communities.

Att jaga varg: En studie av 2010 års licensjakt i Sverige
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- För första gången sedan vargens fridlysning i mitten av 1960-talet tilläts under vintern 2009-2010 allmän licensjakt på varg. Jakten föregicks av åratal med såväl lokala som nationella diskussioner och debatter kring vargens närvaro i det svenska naturlandskapet – är det positivt eller negativt att den finns där? En forskarlag vid CEFOS har studerat licensjakten på varg. De har intervjuat jägare och jaktledare i Dalarna, Värmland och Västra Götaland, liksom tjänstemän, fältpersonal och representanter för berörda intresseorganisationer. Undersökningen har bland annat kommit fram till följande. ■ Licensjakten uppfattades av en majoritet av de intervjuade jägarna som en plikt att genomföra. Jakten har enligt dem handlat om att jägarkåren vill medverka till en god och hållbar rovdjursförvaltning. ■ Myndigheter och flera intresseorganisationer anser att licensjakten genomfördes på ett seriöst sätt. Jägarna uppfattas, trots begränsad tid och möjlighet till planering, ha lagt sig vinn om att genomföra jakten korrekt. Viss kritik riktades mot att jakten i vissa områden ledde till skadeskjutna vargar. ■ För myndigheterna var det en utmaning att skapa rätt rutiner och fungerande strategier. Licensjakten på varg upplevdes som svår att styra och kontrollera. ■ Deltagande i jakten handlade till stor del om ”att ställa upp för lokalsamhället”. Genom att delta i licensjakten visade jägarna sin samhörighet med de som lever i rovdjurstäta områden. Licensjakten har även bidragit till ökade kontakter mellan jaktlag vilket jägarna upplever som stärkande för lokalsamhället. ■ De intervjuade anger att jakten kom att uttrycka och kanalisera en uppdämd önskan att få delta i besluts- och förvaltningsprocesser. Beslutet om licensjakt visar enligt dem på regeringens goda vilja att närma sig lokalbefolkningen. Flera av de intervjuade påpekar att deras förtroende för nationella politiker har stärkts och att deras relation till förvaltningsmyndigheterna har förbättrats. Studien av licensjakten på varg har utförts av Annelie Sjölander-Lindqvist, fil. dr. i humanekologi, Serena Cinque, fil. dr. i offentlig förvaltning samt Marianne Karlsson, MSc Riskanalys, alla verksamma vid CEFOS. Studien har utförts inom ramen för projektet Kommunikation inom rovdjursförvaltningen, finansierat av forskningsrådet FORMAS.

Att leva nära stora rovdjur. Perspektiv på psykosociala och socioekonomiska konsekvenser
- 2021
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Här ges perspektiv på psykosociala och socioekonomiska konsekvenser av att leva nära stora rovdjur. I studien, som bland annat bygger på intervjuer med tamdjursägare och jägare som har haft angrepp av stora rovdjur på sina tamdjur respektive hundar, har frågor kring hur de upplever sin situation studerats. Studien har intresserat sig för deras erfarenheter och tankar kring den egna situationen, upplevelser av oro och stress kopplat till rovdjursförekomst, deras syn på förvaltningsstrategier och åtgärder, samt hur de upplever att deras socioekonomiska situation påverkas av rovdjursförekomst. Undersökningen har gemensamt finansierats av Naturvårdsverket, Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund och Svenska Jägareförbundet.

Balancing differentiated interests and conceptualizations in environmental management

Ingår i: Journal of Organizational Ethnography. - 2046-6749. ; 4:3, s. 306-323
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the everyday practices and routines undertaken by an authority to support internal coordination and deal with sector-specific interests and conflicting goals, and how exclusive interests and objectives in policy work are construed, understood, and negotiated in practice. Design/methodology/approach – An institutional ethnographic approach was adopted to investigate how policy-formulated goals, bureaucratic aims, and rules establish a frame for action procedures and alternatives available for agency-level collaboration. Findings – The results of this study reveal how compromise and agreement may be difficult to achieve in practice since each concerned administrative unit has its own sets of criteria concerning what constitutes valid or valuable knowledge of aspects relating to river restoration. The study illustrates how lack of knowledge affects collaboration, how the policy process is informed by sector-specific rules and norms for organizational conduct, and how the professions in their discussions and interaction concerning the issue of river restoration uphold, demarcate, and negotiate what knowledge and interests should take centre stage in the decision-making process. Originality/value – The paper contributes to policy anthropology literature and highlights how the policy process is informed politically and regulatorily but is also guided by sector-specific norms, values, and differently construed ideas of temporality and heritage. In this case, policy work exposes contrasting ideas of the past, present, and future, and mobilize diverse conceptual models and structural arrangements that are continually performed and contested in everyday policy work.

Between politics and management: Governing large carnivores in Fennoscandia
- 2018

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Environmental collaborative governance or decentralization are increasingly promoted as useful means to manage conflicting goals and to balance different interests with regard to large carnivores. In Finland, Norway, and Sweden, new approaches to large carnivore governance and management have emerged since 2000, each including some elements of collaborative governance or decentralization of authority. In all three cases, the processes are assumed, or at least hoped to, result in the sharing of information and knowledge, joint agreements, dialogues, and conflict mitigation measures. When comparing the different modes of governance applied in the three countries, it becomes apparent that there is no panacea, quick fix, or blueprint for a single type of governance mode that has the capacity to accommodate multiple objectives and activities. While the countries have tried to successively adjust their governance systems to handle identified weaknesses, considerable efforts could still be undertaken to share experiences and best practices between the countries. This includes aspects such as the design of institutions and the setup of participatory processes for planning and management.

Communicating about COVID-19 in four European countries: Similarities and differences in national discourses in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden
- 2020

Ingår i: Frontiers in Communication. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2297-900X. ; 5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The pandemic spread of COVID-19 grew inexorably to be the main topic of global news after it was first identified in 2019 in China. This article analyzes how heads of state and heads of government in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden framed the problems and solutions to the spread of the virus during the pandemic's initial phase. A Foucauldian-inspired method of problematization guides the narrative analysis, complemented by governmentality, risk communication, and taskscape theories. The results of the analysis show how the individual is conceptualized as a central actor and whose practices are framed as crucial to overcoming the crisis. Through invoking a sense of responsibility, sacrifice, and current life during the pandemic as a difficult time, the speeches allude to how people through changed behavior can/sould, contribute to the greater good. The individual is positioned as a key cause of, and solution to the problem; however, construing the individual as an indispensable actor to overcoming the crisis also means that the individual is laid open for reprehension. To facilitate the spread of the containment message and to support individual understanding of overt risk, the four countries' leadership also augment their conceptualization of the crisis with ideas of national identity to inspire the individual to contribute to the "battle"and "defeat"of the virus. The leadership does also embrace the important role of the national government in controlling the outbreak and the role of science, and trust in science, are also emphasized. The speeches analyzed in this paper can be understood as governance technologies; the spatial disciplining and self-governance demanded by the regimes create subject positions for individuals or groups. A debate on the rights and responsibilities of the citizen is another aspect that comes to the fore, considering how the containment strategies in all four countries proclaim the individual as a core agent in circumscribing the virus, and hence the individual's activities as potentially damaging to the fight against the pandemic. This throws into question the connection between individual autonomy as a democratic right and disciplinary mechanisms, sometimes phrased encouragingly and at other times in an enforcing way.

Conflicting perspectives on water in a Swedish railway tunnel project
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Environmental Values. - 0963-2719. ; 14, s. 221-239
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The building of a railway tunnel through the Hallandsas ridge in the southwest of Sweden resulted in sinking groundwater levels and a toxic spill for the local community. As a result, this highly technological project expanded from the addressing of technological and economic issues of rail traffic and tunnel building to include issues of environmental harm and how to assess and manage the geology of the ridge. A central concern for local residents as well as for the developer has been how to view and interpret the resource of groundwater. This article focuses on groundwater as a boundary object, bordering the domains of the technologists and the local community. In this situation, technological understanding and knowledge confronts an experience-based understanding and a symbolic interpretation of the water resource.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: This paper aims to propose the concept of social terroir to help navigate phenomenological and epistemological conditions of small-scale food entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a qualitative research approach and was implemented in the peripheral region of Jämtland in northern Sweden. The study interrogated the ambitions of craft brewers when starting up, their long-term goals and visions, including questions about the reason for starting up a brewery, how the different brewers cooperate and how and why the products are designed and labelled the way they are. Findings: This study shows that the production of craft beer is an inherently social practice that is part of a particular sociocultural milieu. This milieu informs production in distinct and interrelated ways: through connecting to place and locality in the different aspects of production and marketing, through cooperation to develop production and overcome barriers, and through embedding their work in sustainability discourses. Originality/value: The study addresses how, in the context of craft beer, terroir or taste of place, is a matter of social ties to place and community–social terroir. What is novel is the way in which social terroir becomes a critical ingredient in the production of craft beer. This illustrates how small-scale food production and gastronomic efforts can link people, places and businesses.

Delaktighetens landskap : tillgänglighet och inflytande inom kulturarvssektorn
- 2010
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här studien är resultatet av ett forsknings- och utvecklingsprojekt som undersöker hur olika lokala grupper förstår och tolkar begreppet delaktighet och på vilket sätt deltagandet har skett i några olika kulturvårdsinsatser. Tre fall har valts som alla präglas av någon slags konfliktproblematik, eftersom detta ställer deltagandets möjligheter och begränsningar på sin spets. Ur ett empiriskt perspektiv handlar fallstudierna om platser och miljöer som inte tidigare har hanterats som kulturarv, men som av framförallt politiska andledningar genomgår förändringsprocesser i vilket det förflutna, ibland ett ganska nyligen förflutet, omvärderas och förhandlas av olika grupper och aktörer. I fokus för rapporten står Barsebäcks kärnkraftsverk, Ångfärjestationen i Helsingborg, samt Protea Village i Kapstaden i Sydafrika.

Dynamics of Participation: Access, standing and influence in contested natural resource management
- 2014

Ingår i: PArtecipazione e COnflitto. - 2035-6609. ; 7:2, s. 360-383

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although participative measures were introduced in 2001 to support dialogue on large carnivore presence and the aims and justifications of national predator policy, polarization has remained between pro-wolf groups promoting fauna diversity and the groups maintaining that rural Sweden is jeopardized by the re-appearance of large carnivores. Through empirically investigating the participatory process itself, we ad-dress how the local environment of RPG members is situated in the deliberative setting of the groups. By taking account of the local community context, we emphasize that divergent perceptions of the local envi-ronment, together with the landscape as a context of relationships between those using its resources, form an informed basis for action. In sum, we examine how participatory voices can be supported and maintained given the existence of a contingent social situation in which particular interests, values, and norm systems meet.

Identity, science and politics indivisible: The Swedish wolf controversy deconstructed
- 2008

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although its numbers are steadily increasing, authorities, experts and environmentalists still consider the Scandinavian wolf population to be threatened due to poor pedigree and unlawful killings. An integrated predator policy stipulates that conflicts regarding carnivores must be minimized to assure them continued existence. The recovery of the Scandinavian wolf population has, however, been increasingly contested. While the view that Sweden should take actions to preserve and maintain a wolf population is widely supported by authorities, nature organizations and many members of the public, others disagree, emphasizing that local traditions, values and meanings are being jeopardized as a result of the recovery aims and practices of wolf management. The goal of the central state to work towards the recovery of wolves in Sweden is essentially not a conflict over wolves. Instead, the controversy illustrates how divergent perceptions of the local environment can be understood to constitute inconsistencies regarding how to understand the landscape, and most importantly, what the landscape conveys to people through providing a context for their relationships with 'nature' and with each other. It is in this setting that the recovery of endangered and protected predators unfolds. As will be demonstrated here, central state efforts to achieve an ecosystem that secures the survival of endangered wildlife creates a highly charged political context in which issues of cultural identity, local knowledge and expert science are indivisible.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study of perspectives and opinions on a Swedish nuclear power plant and an old building in a Swedish city center employed an ethnographic approach. Such methods are found to be applicable to research situations when it is of crucial importance to establish trustworthy relationships with the informants. The use of ethnographic research methods, especially photography, enabled the researchers in the project to collect a wide range of narratives about different matters regarding the role of the sites and buildings in the past, future prospects of the power plant and the old building and their location. By employing qualitative methods, the project aimed at gaining insight into the meaning-building processes of the actors involved and how they made sense of a place that was turned into a locality of energy production and city planning. This paper elaborates on photography as part of an ethnographic approach and the authors argue that photography helps the researchers to extract the seen and unseen as well as values connected to sustainability in the daily life of local actors.

Individual and collective responses to large carnivore management : the roles of trust, representation, knowledge spheres, communication and leadership
- 2015

Ingår i: Wildlife Biology. - : Wiley. - 0909-6396 .- 1903-220X. ; 21:3, s. 175-185

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Overseeing the continued recovery, dispersal and management of large carnivore populations while simultaneously considering human viability and welfare requires delicately balancing local concerns for rural communities’ livelihood prospects and property vulnerability with international concerns for saving threatened species. In this article, we propose an integrated analytical perspective to elucidate how competing interests and power relationships influence the governance and management of contested wildlife resources. However, simply identifying these patterns is not enough. It is also imperative that the interrelationships between broader biophysical, social, political, economic, and cultural contexts and histories be explored in order to describe, analyze and better understand how and why individual and collective responses vary. In doing this, we drew from findings from a variety of social science disciplines (environmental communication, environmental psychology, human ecology, human geography, political science, public administration and social anthropology) and, here, present how social science approaches can enhance understanding of the different layers and contexts of contested natural resource management. Highlighting the individual, socio-cultural, political, and institutional dimensions, the article concludes by identifying five recurrent concepts that must be understood and consciously applied to large carnivore governance and management: i) establishment of trust between people and groups interacting on the subject; ii) fair representation of stakeholder interests; iii) acknowledgement of the different knowledge-spheres, including those based on personal experiences, culture and tradition, and science; iv) communication, based on dialogue about pluralistic perspectives, to collectively formulate and agree on set goals; and v) leadership emphasising empowerment.

Knowledge claims and struggles in decentralized large carnivore governance: Insights from Norway and Sweden
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2296-701X. ; 8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ensuring sustainable carnivore populations while simultaneously sustaining active and viable pastoral communities often creates conflicts that are difficult to resolve. This article examines how different knowledge systems meet and interact in large carnivore governance in Norway and Sweden. Drawing on a broad range of sources, including observations in meetings, public documents, reports and interviews, in addition to local and national newspaper clippings and internet sites, we study two processes of regional carnivore management (Nordland, Norway and Jämtland, Sweden). We explore how different forms of knowledge have been mobilized, reproduced, transferred and legitimized in policies and regulations in these two processes. Furthermore, we examine the interplay between scientific and experience-based knowledge at different levels and scales in both countries. In Norway, “clear zoning” has been established as a basic management instrument to achieve national “population goals” for carnivores. We show how the locally situated knowledge – in our account represented through the Regional Large Carnivore Committee (RLCC), which includes political parties’ and Sami Parliament representatives – experiences real barriers by being overruled by the national Ministry of Climate and Environment, 2016 in their process of revising the carnivore management plan (CMP). In Sweden where the management of large carnivores is devolved to regional authorities and stakeholder-based Wildlife Management Delegations (WMDs), attempts to regionally solve conflicts are often overthrown by the national environmental protection agency or through court cases initiated by the environmental movement. Hence, compromises that potentially could solve conflicts are undermined. The analysis shows that while carnivore governance in both countries are founded on decentralized management authority at the regional level, local actors struggle for their views, experiences and knowledge to be acknowledged and counted as valid in the management process. While the decentralized management model opens for inclusion of different knowledge systems, this system has yet to acknowledge the challenges of knowledge being dismissed or marginalized across governance levels and scales.

Local Environment at Stake : The Hallandsås Railway Tunnel in a Social and Cultural Context
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A major trend in facility siting research focuses on economic and psychological aspects of land-use regarding the location of potentially hazardous technological facilities including storage for high-level radioactive waste, landfills, chemical plants, large-scale dams, or waste incinerators. Such facilities frequently have profound environmental impact and are often understood by local citizens as intrusions on their environment that threaten landscape, place, and community. This investigation of local responses to facility siting is grounded in social anthropological theories of landscape and place. The study addresses the social and cultural impacts of the building of a railway tunnel through the Hallandsås ridge in an agricultural area in the southwest of Sweden. This tunnel project has met with technological difficulties and environmental problems such as a lowered groundwater table and toxic contamination of groundwater, soil, and surface water. A principal concern in this dissertation is how homeowners’ perceptions and views of the landscape, place, and locality—that is, their local environment—has been affected by the building of a tunnel beneath their farms and homesteads. The four articles on which the thesis build are derived from anthropological fieldwork carried out among local residents affected by the Hallandsås tunnel project. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, collaborative photography, nature walks, and participant observation at public meetings, between the years 1999 and 2003. The main findings of the study suggest that the construction of the tunnel and the subsequent environmental consequences have given rise to an increased sense among affected residents of the fragility and uncertainty of life systems and people’s livelihoods. Feelings of uncertainty regarding the future of the community and the landscape have stimulated a discourse about local history and collective memories bearing on the local environment. Shared responsibility for nature and the local environment is another theme. The building of the Hallandsås railway tunnel has both reinforced local identity within the rural community of affected residents and incited conflict as to how the natural resources of the area should be understood and interpreted. Groundwater issues play a central role in land-use disputes generated by the tunnel project. Groundwater serves as a ‘boundary object’ bordering the domains of the concerned parties: the local community and the Swedish National Rail Administration.

Locality Management through Cultural Diversity: The Case of the Majella National Park, Italy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To get the support of local communities for the Majella National Park in the Italian Abruzzo region, the park administration decided to celebrate the relationship between human activity and nature. This was to be done through developing a "new rural culture." Using the memories and reminiscences of local inhabitants, and involving farmers in the reintroduction of fruits, vegetables and cereals that had formerly been grown in the area, local communities were encouraged to take an active part in landscape management. This study addresses how the promotion of local food was employed as a strategy to gain support for management regimes. The results indicate that the initiation of localized food production served to realize the political goals for sustainability and rural development. However, while those farmers, shop-keepers and restaurateurs who have been involved in management concur with the strategies for safeguarding natural and cultural heritage, other entrepreneurs feel marginalized and undervalued, becoming more skeptical of the park with the passage of time.

- Place as Heritage: Participation and Dialogue in Practice This paper summarizes findings from the research project Landscapes of Participation: Negotiations and contestations in cultural resource management. The project combined disciplines from business administration, human ecology and social anthropology in an inquiry into how public participation was put in practice in three different cases studies in Sweden and South Africa. One case concerned the proposed remaking of a shutdown nuclear power plant into a site of national heritage, another dealt with the debated future of a former steam ferry station and the third a case of land restitution to individuals who were evicted from their neighborhood during Apartheid. All three cases involved sites or buildings subject to intense debate and contestation regarding their meaning and use. Through fieldwork, interviews and collaborative photography the project investigated how various stakeholders, in particular local residents, experienced their possibilities for participation in decisions regarding these places. Findings show that the outcome of participatory processed depended on contextual factors such as social, cultural and temporal dimensions of the places under negotiation.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Familial Occult addresses the presence of occult experiences in some scholars' families and how that has affected their epistemological and ontological worlds, as well as their identities as scholars. Those with backgrounds in the familial occult often experience a series of conflicting relationships and different ways of interacting with binaries such as the subjective and objective, a powerful conceptual couple still governing academic thinking. While much has been written on encountering the occult in fieldwork or becoming an apprentice in an occult practice, little yet has been published in the academic literature about growing up with the occult.

Negotiations on Place and Heritage: Public Participation as Social Drama

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In his work on political performances and their symbolic features, Victor Turner probes how social actions, resulting from the flouting of social norms of behavior and conduct in social communities by certain actors, acquire form through a four-step ritualized movement. This paper suggests that the same four phases may occur in democratic efforts to increase the public’s participation in social planning. Drawing on the case studies in three cities, this paper investigates how individuals became mobilized in negotiations regarding specific sites. Through focusing on the meanings, intentions and aspirations of the concerned actors, the paper analyzes the particular circumstances in which the actors involved in a participatory process in these cities operate. The cities are Helsingborg and Barsebäck in Sweden and Cape Town in South Africa. It will be demonstrated that in such engagement processes, participatory practice is situated in a certain historical and social context that gives structure and meaning to these procedures. Further, this participatory process manifests a complex situation where cultural identity, diverse interests, expediency and morality are indivisible.

Research amidst the contentious issue of wolf presence : exploration of reference frames and social, cultural, and political dimensions
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Large carnivore conservation and management. - Oxon : Routledge. - 9781138039995 - 9781315175454 ; , s. 19-36

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the case of the Scandinavian wolf, the species is both considered an impediment to rural livelihoods and survival, and valued as an inextricable part of the fauna. Understanding the social, cultural and political roots of this polarization, which involve uncertainty regarding future prospects for species recovery and human – wildlife coexistence, conflicting environmental goals and values, and disputes over the burdens and benefits of conservation initiatives, requires a research approach that can contribute to a renewed and broadened understanding of the contemporary aspects of contested policy and management. We argue that any research into such contentious and politicized situations requires a comprehensive and exhaustive research design capable of addressing both individual and collective dimensions, including emotive human responses, issues of social and political trust, conflicting values and norms, clashing knowledge claims, and politicized arenas of interaction. At the same time, studying politicized phenomena may be challenging for the researcher who must create a trustful conversational space and balance the entanglements arising from the socio-cultural and political embeddedness of the connections between individuals, groups, organizations, and institutions. To illustrate this, we highlight the usefulness of different theoretical and methodological perspectives in the exploration of the different frames held by actors at different levels.
