Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Earlier studies have proposed that Swedish refugee policy started to change around 1942, when a restrictive refugee policy became more generous and humanitarian. From a quantitative point of view this statement is true: there were about ten thousand refugees in 1941, compared to almost two hundred thousand by the end of the war. However, this does not tell us whether the well-known discourses of Swedish inter-war anti-Semitism, nationalism and xenophobia underwent the same changes. The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the public debate concerning foreigners, refugees and refugee policy in 1942–1947.The dissertation puts forward the hypothesis of The Nordic prerogative. In brief, this prerogative meant that Sweden primarily held itself obliged to accept ethnical Northeners as refugees, and looked upon this obligation as more important than other considerations, such as the refugee’s ideological views, need of protection or humanitarian needs. Symptomatically, the groups which could not be entirely encompassed within the idea of a Nordic prerogative, particularly the Balts and the Danish Jews, were perceived as the most problematical refugee groups, both on a general level of the debates, and in specific issues.The idea of a Nordic prerogative did not derive from a sense of ethnical fraternity and humanitarian considerations alone, however. Several undertakings were also brought about by pragmatic considerations. Sweden sought goodwill, and reception of refugees was seen as one way of winning it.The dissertation also shows that the idea of a Nordic prerogative seems to become less important when the refugee comes closer to the everyday life of Sweden, where the Nordic refugees too were referred to as ”foreigners”, ”aliens” etc. As such, they had to put up with being spoken of in negatively loaded expressions, in the same way as other foreigners.

Amatör eller professionist? : Studier rörande amatörfrågan i svensk tävlingsidrott 1903-1967
- 2005
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis studies the amateurism question within Swedish competitive sport from the perspective of the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF). As a background, a study is included about both the early development of Anglo-Saxon amateur sport, as well as the initial phase of the Swedish sports movement (ca.1870–1900), and the role the amateurism question played during this period. The actual research period is 1903–1967, i.e., the years when the RF, as the driving force in the issue, acknowledged amateur sport though its regulations. The main task has been to establish the position of the amateurism question between amateurism and professionalism.The research has involved examining three main perspectives for the amateurism question, which are discussed in the introductory chapter: large scope and significance, complexity, and uniqueness. The research has convincingly substantiated all three characteristics. The “amateur inquest” of the 1940s, a very far-reaching and complicated debate without parallel elsewhere, either within or outside the sporting world, constitutes the best piece of evidence.The four main questions, which also determine the disposition of the chapters, are: 1) What did the amateurism of sport entail? What reasons were behind this and how were the rules and regulations developed? 2) What important disputes (legal cases, practices) occurred with amateurism as the cause and what consequences did they have? 3) How did the different opinions view amateurism? What arguments were presented for and against? 4) In what way did the amateurism question reflect the sports movement’s autonomy, ideology and positioning within the dividing line between power aspirations and ideal/moral? Here, attention is given to the concepts of ‘parallel system’ and ‘hybrid system’. The complexity of the amateurism of sport has been illustrated using four aspects. They are to be seen as an attempt to categorise the values and the practice that together underpinned amateurism: 1) the moral aspect (ethics/moral); 2) the social aspect (class/occupation); 3) the economic aspect (income/compensation for expenses); and 4) the peripheral aspect (ethnicity/traditionalism). Through these aspects, the content and the changes of focus in the amateurism question have been highlighted.

Hundra år av välfärdspolitik : Välfärdsstatens framväxt i Norge och SVerige
- 2005
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den välfärdsstat som byggdes upp i Sverige och Norge saknade motsvarighet utanför Norden. Socialförsäkringarna utgjorde en central del av denna välfärdsstat och de norska och särskilt de svenska reformerna har väckt stor internationell uppmärksamhet.. I Hundra år av välfärdspolitik följs historien om hur det gick till när systemen byggdes upp från de första lagstiftningsförsöken 1880 tills systemen var fullt utbyggda omkring 1980. Här genomförs en bred, jämförande analys och en aktiv dialog mellan historia och samhällsvetenskap som saknar motstycke i tidigare forskning. Efterkrigstidens politiska strider i Sverige både mellan de politiska blocken och inom arbetarrörelsen om de grundläggande sociala rättigheterna jämförs med den norska konsensuspolitiken och med samverkan i socialförsäkringsfrågorna i Norge mellan de politiska blocken. Författaren visar hur det för de politiska aktörerna ofta blev viktigare att välja de lösningar som var möjliga än att genomföra det de helst ville – politik blev att välja, inte att vilja. Analyserna av den dynamiska maktutövningen med kompromisser, förhandlingar, eftergifter blir en nyckel till förståelsen av varför socialförsäkringarna kom att se ut som de gjorde.
