The liability of politicalness : Legitimacy and legality in piracy-proximate entrepreneurship
- 2014
-
In: International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1476-1297 .- 1741-8054. ; 22:4, s. 408-425

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores three entrepreneurial ventures that have evolved in proximity to online piracy. In reviewing the respective cases of Spotify, Skype, and The Pirate Bay, the argument outlines the radically divergent strategies with which the entrepreneurs have sought to legitimise their ventures and underlying technologies. The article concludes that: 1) the context of practices labelled ‘pirate’ are paradigmatic examples of fields in which entrepreneurs must work exceptionally hard to legitimise themselves; 2) in this context, it is crucial that the role of law is analytically isolated from the role of institutionalised legitimacy; 3) success in legitimisation is largely dependent upon the entrepreneur’s ability to demonstrate that the venture is governed by ‘the natural order’ of the economy. It is further argued that piracy-proximate ventures may contribute to the entrepreneurship field, inasmuch as they teeter on the border of being considered too disruptive, and thus suffer from a ‘liability of politicalness’.

Våldsbejakande extremism. En forskarantologi
- 2017
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Möjligheterna att förebygga och stärka demokratin mot våldsbejakande miljöer förutsätter kunskap om orsakerna till varför individer söker sig till dessa miljöer, framgångsfaktorer för utträde och hur miljöerna uppstår, upprätthålls och samspelar med varandra. Med anledning av detta samlades forskare från olika vetenskapliga discipliner och forskningsområden under hösten 2016 i ett idéseminarium för att diskutera befintlig forskning om våldsbejakande extremism och ge förslag på framtida forskningssatsningar som i förlängningen kan stärka samhällets förebyggande förmåga. Semnariet mynnade ut i denna forskarantologi som ges ut i form av en statlig utredning. Notera dock att den här forskningsöversikten inte gör anspråk på att vara heltäckande. Många forskare, discipliner, och forskningsområden måste läggas till innan bilden kan bli komplett. Denna antologi ska snarare ses som ett första steg mot en systematisk forskningsinventering.1 Våldsbejakande extremism – begrepp och diskurs2 Takfirism3 Från traditionell till ideologiskt motiverad brottslighet4 Organiserad antagonism: Överlappningen mellan våldsbejakande extremism och organiserad brottslighet5 Våldets polarisering i svenska städer6 Individuella riskfaktorer och riskbedömningar för våldsbejakande radikalisering: en översikt av forskningsläge och metoder7 Radikaliseringens politiska psykologi – betydelsen av hot och polarisering8 Rätten som ram vid myndighetsåtgärder i syfte att motverka våldsbejakande extremism9 Den lokala nivåns betydelse i det förebyggande arbetet mot våldsbejakande islamistisk extremism10 Socialt arbete och våldsbejakande extremism11 Sociala rörelser, protester och politiskt våld – en forskningsöversikt12 Digitala medier, motoffentligheter och våldsbejakande extremism13 Datorstödda analyser av digitala miljöer och fenomen14 Social nätverksanalys och antagonistiska miljöer

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the first of two essays in this Journal, I seek to unify the historicalgeography of early modern ‘European expansion’ (Iberia and Latin America)with the environmental history of the ‘transition to capitalism’ (northwestern Europe). The expansion of Europe’s overseas empires and the transitions to capitalism within Europe were differentiated moments within the geographicalexpansion of commodity production and exchange – what I call the commodityfrontier. This essay is developed in two movements. Beginning with a conceptual and methodological recasting of the historical geography of the rise of capitalism,I offer an analytical narrative that follows the early modern diaspora of silver.This account follows the political ecology of silver production and trade from the Andes to Spain in Braudel’s ‘second’ sixteenth century (c. 1545–1648). In highlighting the Ibero-American moment of this process in the present essay, Icontend that the spectacular reorganization of Andean space and the progressive dilapidation of Spain’s real economy not only signified the rise and demise of a trans-Atlantic, Iberian ecological regime, but also generated the historicallynecessary conditions for the unprecedented concentration of accumulation andcommodity production in the capitalist North Atlantic in the centuries thatfollowed.

Organising grassroots initiatives for a more inclusive governance: constructing the city from below
- 2019
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The project examines how grassroots organizations and networks providing urban critical services in informal settlements contribute to improve the quality of life of urban dwellers and to more inclusive forms of urban governance, constructing the city from below. The project is informed by the study of Kisumu’s informal settlements’ Resident Associations, the Water Delegated Management Model, and the Kisumu Waste Actors Network. The study adopted an action-research approach with researchers working with citizens, politicians, officers and entrepreneurs in all stages of the research process and used a combination of methods including document studies, ethnographic and participatory observations, visual ethnography, interviews, focus groups, social media analysis and stakeholder work- shops as well as participatory videotaping. The study discusses a) the institutionalization of grassroots organizations for the delivery of critical infrastructure and services and their need to gain, regain and maintain legitimacy; b) their flexible and nested structure facili- tating their resilience; c) their embeddedness in the communities’ knowledge and assets, and their role as social and institutional entrepreneurs to bridge informal settlements with city governance; d) the redefinition of the roles of the citizen, from passive into active agents, and its transformation into more autonomous and insurgent citizens; e) the blending of civic and material rationales and the construction of more fluid identities allowing citizens to draw pragmatically from a broader repertoire of roles and resources; f) and the creation of grassroots organizations as a collective process that emerge from different directions, with the ability to become gateways but also gatekeepers, or the top of the grass at their communities. It concludes with recommendations to informal settlements’ resident grass- roots organizations, public officers, NGOs, politicians, researchers and citizens in general, engaged in constructing a more inclusive city governance from below.

From policy to misery? The State Agricultural Farms vs. 'the rural'

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 1989 was a turning point within the socio-economic development in the former Eastern bloc, initiating a system transformation that affected the society at large. It also contributed to the crystallisation of certain cultural landscapes, hitherto largely illegible due to the inhibition of spatial processes encountered during Communism. In Poland, after a quarter-century of free market economy, the focus on social problems began to expand to the spatial realm as well. It became apparent that the progressive social polarisation that followed was most prominent in environments striated by a particular landscape type – the former State Agricultural Farm (PGR). Considering PGRs “the epitome of rurality” subject to ideas informing the direction of contemporary “rural development” prompts a different way of looking at the problem. In this paper, we investigate the concept of rurality in the discursive tenor of implemented policy and contrast it with contextualised empirical examples. Our findings suggest that efficient policy should be confronted with the expectations of residents at the local level, while introducing top-down actions usually ends in failure as in the case of post-PGR estates.

Speglingar av en förvaltning i förändring: Reformeringen av Försäkringskassan
- 2012
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Svensk statsförvaltning genomgår, precis som privat sektor, ständigt förändringar och omstruktureringar, drivna av olika samhällstrender, ledarskapsidéer och politiska styrfilosofier. Vid dessa förändringar ställs verksamheten inför vägval som på olika sätt kan påverka dess förmåga att leva upp till omgivningens krav och förväntningar. Samtidigt finns inte utrymme för risktagande, eftersom förvaltningens agerande och beslut kan vara avgörande för individers försörjning och framtid. Det ställer stora krav på dessa myndigheter, som balanserar ekonomimål, demokratimål och rättssäkerhetsmål. Denna bok avser att spegla olika organisatoriska dilemman och utmaningar som myndigheter i svensk och internationell statsförvaltning kan möta. Detta sker med utgångspunkt i en studie av Försäkringskassans enmyndighetsreform år 2005 och dess förändringsarbete under åren därefter. Bokens författare kommer från tre olika ämnesområden: företagsekonomi, nationalekonomi och statsvetenskap. Samtliga är knutna till Lunds universitet och till forskningsprogrammet ”Från många till en?” (2008-2012). Programmet finansierades av Försäkringskassan, men genomfördes självständigt. Med boken hoppas författarna kunna öka förståelsen – och intresset - för frågor om organisation, styrning och ledning i en statsförvaltning i förändring.

Avfallsförebyggande handlar om effektiv produktion och genomtänkt konsumtion – inte om avfall. Sju lärdomar från forskningsprojektet från avfallshantering till avfallsförebyggande
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna rapport sammanfattar de viktigaste lärdomarna från forskningsprojektet ”Från avfallshantering till avfallsförebyggande”. I forskningsprojektet har forskare från Lunds universitet och Göteborgs universitet, men också Umeå Universitet och Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, studerat avfallsförebyggande. Syftet med projektet har varit att identifiera och förklara svårigheterna med att förverkliga de avfallsförebyggandepolitiska målen. Forskarna har närmat sig projektets syfte genom innehållsanalys av avfallsplaner, kvantitativa och kvalitativa studier av avfallsförebyggande- initiativ, teoretisk kritik av stadsplanering, och kartläggning av hinder för avfallsförebyggande. Projektet har bedrivits i tät samverkan med kommuner, kommunala avfallsbolag, myndigheter, sociala rörelser och företag. Det har finansierats av forskningsrådet Formas (Dnr 259-2013-210). För den som vill veta mer finns källor refererade löpande i texten och redovisat i referenslistan i slutet av rapporten. Det går även bra att kontakta respektive forskare. Under Interna referenser redovisas de vetenskapliga artiklar, konferensbidrag, seminarier, uppsatser, reportage, debattartiklar, och nya forskningsprojekt som forskningsprojektet har lett till. På projektets webbplats www.ism.lu.se/mtp redogörs i detalj för projektet, till exempel de workshopar som har organiserats inom projektets ram.
