Marine ecosystem bodies as entangled environments and entangled laws: drones and the marine environment
- 2023
-
Ingår i: American Journal of International Law Unbound. - 2398-7723. ; 117, s. 145-150
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The adoption of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the steady development of international environmental law in the twentieth century shaped the marine environment as an object of legal protection. However, the exponential growth of substantive obligations to protect the marine environment, conserve marine biodiversity, and prevent marine pollution, has been largely ineffective due to lack of enforcement. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed for marine environmental protection are seen, in scholarship and policy, as a means to close the enforcement gap, thereby revolutionizing the field by significantly increasing states’ maritime awareness. In contrast, our tentative analysis shows that while UAVs can translate complex environmental concerns into data readily available for analysis and action, such datafication of marine environments comes with high risks. More specifically, datafication enables multiple uses of gathered data, including for surveillance, military, and commercial purposes. These concerns tend to fall outside current debates on the international regulation of the use of UAVs in marine environments. In our essay, we explore whether international law recognizes the possibilities and risks involved in deploying UAVs into the marine environment. We draw on doctrinal and posthuman feminist legal approaches to analyze how UAVs interact with the wider context of “marine ecosystem bodies” in terms of international law, as well as how those terms may need to be reconfigured to accommodate the complexity of the many actors, agents, and materials of marine ecosystems.

AI, law and (anti)fascism
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Critical Legal Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Taking que from Maria Hlavajova and Wietske Maas (eds) Propositions for Non-Fascist Living: Tentative and Urgent this stream asks about the figuration of law and fascism embedded in the posthuman condition: What, where, how, and why do we need to attend to fascism in our everyday lives as living with the law? Why look to present iterations of fascism in emerging technologies which we, as already more-than-human, or humans +, are entangled with when state fascism from the past and present still haunts present democratic forms of governance? Specifically, the stream invites critical assessments of the relations between AI, law and (anti) fascism. How is fascism part of the posthuman legal condition and, conversely, how does anti-fascism take form as part of it? The stream takes as its starting position an understanding of (micro-) fascism in the posthuman condition as follows: Fascism is immanent to desiring-production: fascism "seems to come from the outside, but it finds its energy right at the heart of everyone's desire." (Guattari 1995: 245). Fascism is everywhere and to desire is to activate it in some measure at different scales within a microphysics of power relations. Fascism is not merely a historical phenomenon (with German, Italian and Spanish varieties) that has passed away and will never happen again; it is not outside, that is, retrievable and renewable like a complete artifact, in that respect. This is one of many ways in which to consider fascism in the posthuman condition.

Artificial Intelligence, Decision Making and International Law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351. ; 92:84, s. 1-8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The question how artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML), impacts on law in general, and on international law in particular, has gained more and more traction in recent years. Ensuing debates have mainly homed in on threats and opportunities posed to law by this technology, and remained on a rather abstract level. Our text gives an introduction to the field of AI, decision making and international law, narrowing our focus to what we see as a critical area of empirically grounded and granular research in AI, decision making and international law. The overarching question for the special issue of which this text is an introduction to, is how AI, including AI-supported and automated decision making, might impact on decisions we take in international law. This allows us to track how technologically induced practice makes its way into domestic law, and, potentially, from there onwards into international law. Our text sets out some core tenants of this field, and argues that more nuanced and empirically grounded inter- and intra-disciplinary is needed in order to respond to contemporary questions and concerns of AI, decision making and international law

Decision Making in Asylum Law and Machine Learning: Autoethnographic Lessons Learned on Data Wrangling and Human Discretion
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351 .- 1571-8107. ; 92:1, s. 56-92
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article avails an autoethnography of the authors’ attempt to construct a post hoc intervention machine learning (ML) system responsive to the problem of discrimination in asylum law decisions. In the article we revisit the conjunction of law as a slow hermeneutic, against the fast-paced pull of AI and commercial imperatives to ask whether a ML-driven post hoc intervention system such as the one set up in the research project, reduces the overall risk of discrimination emerging from human discretion in legal decision making on asylum. We conclude that a ML-driven ‘antidiscrimination machine’ will displace rather than reduce that overall risk. We warn that similar attempts at using ML as part of legal decision making, decision support, and post hoc interventions, in international law and beyond, may need to take seriously the risks of human discretion embedded in ML design and data selection.

Digital Echoes: Listening to New Normativities in International Law and Technology
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Völkerrechtsblog.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The first season of “Digital Echoes” brings together leading scholars in international law, international relations and legal theory to present their work and discuss the implications of an ever-increasing digitisation of socio-economic life from an (international) legal perspective. We have assembled a stellar group of thinkers who invite us to explore how Digital Technologies are changing and challenging the modes in which law and governance operate. How to formulate questions to address the relationship between international law and technology and its implications for governance? They invite us to think with them about what it means to talk about digital spaces or digital rights. To contemplate the topologies of normativity that these terms connote and to investigate how power operates in techno legal assemblages? Enjoy listening! In this podcast Andrea Leiter, Delphine Dogot, Matilda Arvidsson, Fleur Johns and Dimitri Van Den Meerssche explore different ways of how they came to engage with international law and technology.

Feminist legal scholarship’s turn to posthumanism, AI and technology: Hélène Cixous’ écriture feminine in contemporary feminist legal scholarship
- 2022
-
Ingår i: The Forgotten Foundations of Feminist Legal Scholarship. Part I: 1970-1985.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper considers Hélène Cixous’ écriture feminine (‘writing feminine’) in contemporary feminist legal scholarship, and especially its relation to the turn to feminist posthumanism, AI and technology. To write one self through écriture feminine is a feminist act in contestation to the ‘phallocentric’ search for the law’s (phallo-)‘originary first term or logos’. The article discusses the importance of ‘writing one self’ as legal scholars in our own time, and how this is and can be done in computer code as well as in other forms of writing in legal scholarship. Legal scholarship has often considered Cixous’ work in the context of ‘the linguistic turn’ – a turn that has been out of vogue for some time now. Hence, Cixous’ écriture feminine is rarely explicitly referred to as part of contemporary feminist legal scholarship. In this article, however, I show that Cixous’ scholarship, and her écriture feminine, is central to contemporary feminist legal scholarship in its turn to feminist posthumanism, AI and technology: The feminist tradition of écriture feminine continues to interrupt the phallocentric predatory imperative embedded in the world, regardless of ‘turns’ and ‘vouges’.

International Law and Posthuman Theory: Introduction to the Blog Symposium
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Planet Politics Institute.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this blog post symposium we are pleased to showcase our work and that of our authors of the International Law and Posthuman Theory (Routledge, 2024) on the Planet Politics Institute Blog. Over a series of forthcoming posts, several of our authors will discuss their work, exploring how their chapter speaks specifically to planet politics. While many of the chapters in the collection speak directly to environmental issues, most notably those in the section of the book titled ‘The Environment and the Nonhuman,’ what we found interesting, when reflecting on the works, is how each of them, in some way, speak back to the environment – be that through discussions of land, property and ownership or through a focus, for example, on the links between “old” and “new” materialism, or on racial capitalism. Interestingly, it seems that using a critical posthuman lens ensures that the environment, whether framed as nature itself or more broadly as matter, remains at the forefront of thought even when analysing topics that do not, on the face of it, seem to have much to do with environmental issues. This, for us, is one of the strengths of posthuman theory, in that it allows for a bringing together of multiple vectors of oppression and multiple issues of critical concern together, allowing for links to be drawn between, for example, between coloniality, capitalism and gender and the impact of those structures on the environment, legally, conceptually and practically.

Just urban space : street art and spatial justice
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Urban Creativity : Essays on interventions in public space - Essays on interventions in public space. - 9789188369925 ; , s. 21-40
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter presents the notion of spatial justice as a way of considering the relationship between law and street art in a manner beyond the legal/illegal dichotomy. Through a series of empirical examples, it is demonstrated how street art literally takes a place already taken and imposes itself in an already appropriated urban public space. Street art thus ´redefines the space in contestation to law. However, street art is ephemeral and its taking of space is not permanent. Street art points to an alternative spatial definition, one of spatial justice, before – and, indeed, while – withdrawing from the space it occupies. Street art creates a rupture in the lawscape which makes explicit the presence and claims of law, thereby also making the need for law’s other – justice – pronounced. The question of relationality between law and street art which we bring forth in the present article plays itself out as a production of space and spatial justice in an exchange of place-taking, withdrawal and pronunciation, law and street art. Spatial justice, as we perceive it here, is thus a way of thinking about law and street art not simply as polar opposites, but rather as co-dependent and bound together in an ongoing process of oscillation, mutual reinforcement and creativity.

Laugh all you Medusas! Écriture feminine as feminist legal translation, transformation, transgression, and translactation in the age of AI and the Anthropocene
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Australian Feminist Law Journal. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1320-0968 .- 2204-0064. ; 47:2, s. 283-297
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This text considers Hélène Cixous’ écriture feminine (‘writing feminine’) as one way to do feminist legal translation. It discusses the importance of ‘writing one self’ as legal scholars in our own time as a reflection both on what law as well as what the self is or can be. To write one self through écriture feminine is a feminist act in contestation to the ‘phallocentric’ search for the law’s (phallo-)‘originary first term or logos’. Drawing on Yoriko Otomo’s feminist legal scholarship, I show that écriture feminine writes the world differently through the writing of the self; something which is urgently needed in a time of, as Anna Grear puts it, ‘necrotic, predatory imperative of Euro-centric petro-capitalism and rampant industrial consumerism.’ Legal scholarship has often considered Cixous’ work in the context of ‘the linguistic turn’ – a turn that has been out of vogue for some time now. Hence, Cixous’ écriture feminine is rarely explicitly part of contemporary critical legal scholars’ efforts. In this text, however, I argue that Cixous’ scholarship, and her écriture feminine, is necessary to contemporary legal scholarship in its turn to new materialism, tech and AI: The feminist translation, transformation, transgression and translactation in écriture feminine interrupt the phallocentric predatory imperative embedded in the world such legal scholarship tries to make sense of and rework.

Law and Disorder in the Postcolony? Law, Missionaries, and the Utopias of Pre-colonial to Present-day Kongo DRC
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Law and Society Association Annual Meeting 2022.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Our panel turns to history to understand challenges to law and order in the present; examining the present-day ‘failed state’ of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Drawing on unique archival material, centring on the activities of Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (Svenska Missionskyrkan) in lower Congo, 1881–1961, we take on the well-established thesis that ‘disorder’ in the contemporary ‘postcolony’ flows from how the introduction of law and order was pursued during the pre-colonial and colonial era. In this panel Christian and Global North contributions towards the establishment of the Rule of Law, as well as the international legal interests and investments, in contemporary Congo DRC are examined through critical international legal, social-anthropological, and historical trajectories.

-
Ingår i: International Law and Anthropocentrism. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367858223 - 9781000892222 ; , s. 122-141
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyses the international humanitarian legal ordering of human and other relationships during armed conflict and disaster by looking at two examples, namely the ‘natural’ environment and human-scientific constructed AI-powered swarms of drones. Drawing on these examples, as well as post-anthropocentric and posthuman legal scholaship, we argue that International Humanitarian Law (IHL) has some potential in developing in a post-anthropocentric direction, specifically in reorienting its focus from armed conflicts to violent outbursts by making use of the Deleuze-Guattarian notion of ‘war-machines’. We argue that this will eable IHL to offer a better protection on a less anthropocentric and more inclusive and equal basis in a shared posthuman ecology. The chapter offers an overview of current legal regulations as well as a theoretical and practice-oriented outline for the development of IHL.

Pedagogy for the Psycho/Analytical Situation in PhD Supervision: A Framework for Practice
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Pedagogy in Higher Education at the University of Gothenburg.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter sets out a framework for what psychoanalysis can offer for PhD supervision pedagogy, focusing on the analytic situation. I suggest that the analytical situation, developed within the psychoanalytical field, is helpful for developing good pedagogical practices of PhD supervision. I explain what the analytical situation is and does, drawing on French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche. I expand on translation and transference-countertransference as well as more broadly the aim of (psycho)analysis. In conclusion, I relate the psychoanalytic situation to the pedagogy of the analytical situation in PhD supervision, with illustrations from my own PhD process. The aim is to guide those seeking to develop their pedagogical practices and capacities as PhD supervisors. For the PhD supervisee seeking to orient themselves within their project and processes, the aim is to offer tools for framing the PhD process towards meaningful ends (The main tool being: getting rid of a non-helpful/productive/boundary-breaking PhD supervisor).

Post-humanitarian Law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: More Posthuman Glossary. - Oxford : Bloomsbury. - 9781350231429
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminist theory post-humanitarian law takes seriously the ontological shift needed in order to move away from traditional International Humanitarian Law (IHL), towards a law able to better describe and work for our own time and condition. To this end post-humanitarian law offers a framework of norms applicable during situations of war, conflict as well as other instances of violent eruptions. Moreover, it moves from inter-national to transnational legal ordering. A central tenant of the ontological shift entailed in the move from IHL to a post-humanitarian law is the possibility to move beyond the human as law’s ultimate genesis, telos, primary object of protection as well as custodian of all things worthy of recognition. Post-humanitarian law thus builds on a critique of both humanism and anthropocentrism as it transgresses their binary distinctions and hierarchies.

- 2023
-
Ingår i: Law, Society and Digital Past, Present and Futures. - Lund : MediaTryck.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper takes on the question of how posthuman feminism may be helpful as a theoretical and methodological approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and international law. It argues that posthuman feminism is a theoretical and methodological approach particularly apt for describing, arguing and analyzing international law in a particular historical context – in the posthuman convergence, which is to say at the height of technological advancement, ‘advanced capitalism’, and in the midst of the sixth extinction in the Anthropocene – as well as through manifestations of relations in terms of both material and discursive characters. Taking AI as its main example, the paper draws out underlying tensions and concerns in international law, showing how AI brings out the uncanny (Freud’s Das Unheimliche) in international law and its scholarship.

Posthuman feminism as a theoretical and methodological approach to international
- 2024
-
Ingår i: International law and posthuman theory / edited by Matilda Arvidsson and Emily Jones.. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781032658032
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter foregrounds questions of methodology, showing how posthuman feminism can be used as a theoretical and methodological approach in international law. It sets out some fundamentals about what posthuman feminism is and does and what methods international legal scholars and practitioners working with posthuman theory – feminist and otherwise – use. Two arguments are pursued in the chapter. First, it is argued that posthuman theory is both a discursive-linguistic and a material mode of analysis. This is not a novel argument, yet it serves as timely a reminder against the incidental forgetting of a fundamental part of the theoretical and methodological design. Second, the chapter moves on to argue that – and show how – posthuman feminism can help international legal scholars and practitioners employ new ways of seeing and sensing the contemporary world: to cut the frames of analysis differently, and to probe international law’s categories in new ways to reconsider and reconfigure dichotomic and hierarchical notions of oppression, exclusion and predatory violence towards more inclusive and less violent ends. For these purposes, posthuman feminism avails a navigational tool for anyone seeking to make the world a better place, in our own time, as international lawyers or otherwise.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This site communicates the findings and activities in our project. In our project we turn to history in order to better understand challenges to law and order in our present time; specifically, examining the present-day fragmented and ‘failed state’ of Congo (DRC), often described as lacking in terms of the Rule of Law and adequate legal institutions is re-examined in light of the rule of law activities pursued in the lower Congo by Swedish missionaries from the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (Svenska Missionskyrkan), 1881-1961. Following the well-established thesis that ‘disorder’ in the contemporary ‘postcolony’ flows from how the introduction of law and order was pursued during the pre-colonial and colonial era, our project revisits the Swedish contribution to the establishment of the Rule of Law in contemporary DRC, in order to better understand legal fragmentation and pluralism was introduced in the pre-colonial and colonial era. We draw on unique archival material, as well as contemporary empirical data, with the aim to develop a substantiated holistic approach to legal fragmentation and state state-building initiatives in the contemporary DRC.

The swarm that we already are: Artificially Intelligent (AI) swarming ‘insect drones’, targeting and international humanitarian law in a posthuman ecology
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Human Rights and the Environment. - : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 1759-7188 .- 1759-7196. ; 11:1, s. 114-137
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the last fifty-odd years the US Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) has launched programs aiming at emulating and incorporating insect technologies in military technology. The US Army Unmanned Aircrafts Systems Roadmap 2010–2035 has specified insect swarming as a field of development for Unmanned Aviation Systems. While legal scholarship has paid substantial attention to drones, autonomous weapons systems and artificial intelligence (AI), developments based on insect swarming technologies have been largely ignored. This article takes emerging AI swarming technologies in military warfare systems as its starting point and asks about the significance of the swarming insect in and through contemporary International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and warfare. Taking up Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s notions of ‘the swarm’ and the ‘war machine’, and drawing on critical environmental legal scholarship, the article argues that rather than dispersing the human from its central position in the ‘targeting loop’, the increased interest in insects for commercial and warfare purposes is an intensification of transhumanist desires and an acceleration of late capitalism. As a counter-move, and as a contribution to a posthumanist turn in IHL, the article calls for becoming-insect, swarm and minoritarian as an epistemological practice and ontological shift in IHL and its critical scholarship, resulting in a posthumanitarian legal ordering of becoming.

- This chapter concerns the relation between time, progression and history in international law. It places the yearbook in a broader context of the ‘turn to history’ in international legal scholarship, and asks how the ‘year’ figures as a placeholder of meaning and authority in international law and its’ narratives. Drawing on recent scholarly debates on narration in relation to international law and emerging technologies – especially artificial intelligence (AI) – the article calls for a book of international law that knows of no year, no history, no beginning and no perpetually postponed end.

Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Gender and International Law
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Oxford Bibliographies in International Law. - Oxford : Oxford Universitty Press.
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ‘Gender’ as a specific topic of concern appeared gradually within international law and scholarship, initially by scholars drawing on feminist theories. A central concern in the scholarship is how gender relates to sex. For some scholars, gender is useful for distinguishing social constructions from biological sex. For others, this distinction is problematic as it conceals the way sex is also socially constructed. Reflecting these scholarly debates, the way gender is defined and relates to sex is not consistent in international legal instruments or scholarship. Another dividing question is how gender, sex, and ‘women’s situation’ relate. For some, gender means a focus on women. This conflation is questioned by others. The gender/woman question injects confusion and political force in international legal debates. More recently, gender identity has attracted attention, and while gender equality has long been a central topic of concern, states and scholars critical of what they consider ‘gender ideology’ in instruments such as the Yogyakarta Principles and the Istanbul Convention, have sought to advance ‘gender complementarity’ in its stead. For scholars committed to gender equality, ‘gender complementarity’ is conceived of as a backlash. These topics of concern do not reflect any specific theoretical or methodological approach and it is not possible to divide the theoretical and methodological approaches according to topic. Instead, the debates are pursued in a variety of ways: An early approach that remains significant seeks to identify structural biases in seemingly neutral or universal instruments. This can be contrasted to scholarship analyzing international instruments explicitly engaging with gender, the way international law partakes in forming gendered subjects, and processes of gender mainstreaming. The role of gender in gender based violence continues to be questioned. More recently, queer approaches have sought to question the normative in international law, and a theoretical focus on men and masculinity has emerged as a response to the focus on women in gender and international law debates. Aiming at granularity and ‘localizing’ gender, anthropological and ethnographic approaches contribute with narratives breaking with universalizing tendencies in international law. Similarly, intersectional, TWAIL and posthuman feminist debates approach gender as part of broader concerns, while some scholas have turned to history in order to rethink gendered aspects of international law. Natural science methods, including emerging technologies such as AI, are also used to analyze gender concerns. How gender is debated, analyzed, and questioned through different methodological and theoretical approaches demonstrate the political vibrancy of gender as a concept in international law.

Who, or What, is the Human of International Humanitarian Law
- 2021
-
Ingår i: S Pahuja & S Chalmers (eds) Routledge Handbook on International Law and the Humanities (Routledge, Abingdon 2020). - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367420741
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter considers who the human of international humanitarian law (IHL) is or can be. Traditionally IHL treats the human as its point of departure as well as its ultimate telos. The human is identified and categorized as either civilian or combatant, placing the various ways in which one can pass as human in focus of the targeting process. Moreover, the lawfulness of the targeting process has been made dependent on a ‘human in the loop’ who can be held accountable for warfare acts. In this chapter I show how IHL invites a gender bias and fails to take into account how military targets are identified through emerging technologies in practice, including artificial intelligence (AI), in contemporary intelligent warfare. Finding that the law fails to take into account how military targets are identified and killed through processes that are only to a limited degree controlled by human actors, the call I make for an international posthumanitarian legal ordering of the laws of war is an urgent one.

Gendering Public and Private International Law: Transversal Legal Histories of the State, Market and Women’s Private Property Rights
- 2024
-
Ingår i: American Journal of International Law. - 0002-9300. ; 118, s. 12-17
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay takes on Karen Knop’s suggestion to engage private international law (PIL) as ‘a lost side of international law’ (IL) to promote new transversal and disciplinary insights on gender and international legal history. It joins a growing scholarship on the interface of public and private law as mutually constituting dynamics, reconsidering the relationship between the state and the market, imperium and dominium. Its’ focus is on the changing fortunes (literally) of women’s private property rights in the long nineteenth century – a period characterized by the divestment and reinstatement of such rights in national law for both married and unmarried women. Often considered a domestic law matter - and a matter of the home (oikos), the private domain, of dominum - both within legislative frameworks and the academic literature, the differences and frictions in national law regarding the regulation of private property for women were brought to the fore through cross-border transactions, relationships and disputes related to marriage, succession etc. Drawing on Knop’s work, we take the development of women’s property law rights through PIL during the 19th Century in - focusing on Nordic legal history. We ask: what are the mutually constituting dynamics between PIL and IL in this development? And how should we understand the gendered aspect of the private (oikos)/public (polis) divide in relations between dominium and imperium in these transversal legal histories of women’s property rights? Tracing the PIL aspects of gender and property rights during this era not only expands the historical feminist legal cartography and its primary vocabulary of public law, but seeks to uncover new transnational legal elements to the history of women’s property rights.

Migrant Employment Integration and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 32nd annual workshop of the Swedish Artificial Intelligence Society (SAIS) online conference, June 16 – 17, 2020..
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Employment integration is a cornerstone of migrant integration into host society. Though many AI initiatives targeting migrants have been initiated, research is limited on the design, outcomes and effectiveness of such initiatives. Today, there is a lack of effective implementation protocols and opportunities to assess whether these technologies constitute successful intervention tools and actually contribute to migrant integration.This four-year interdisciplinary research projectseeks to gain a deeper understanding of thechallengesandopportunitiesthatartificialintelligence(AI)entailsforfacilitatingmigrantemploymentintegrationandworkplaceinclusion. We address the following research ques-tions:1. How is AI used by migrants, their co-workers and the actors involved in their employment integration process? 2. How does AI enhance migrant professional competences?and 3. What are pathways to success of AI interventions for integration and inclusion purposes?Acombination of qualitative and quantitative research methods (interviews, focus groups, shadowing and interactive workshops) is used. Insix work packages (WPs)we analyze and identify the challenges and opportunities thatAI entailforfacilitatingmigrantemploymentintegration. Apart from contributing to theorizing migrant integration and AI, we also aim at providing a robust evidence-base for ‘good’ policy-making, regulatory guidelines and administration of profession-oriented integration process.Finally, we want to contribute to better understanding of how AI can contribute to overcoming prejudice and discrimination, which, in turn, can lead to mutual learning and building sustainable, wel-coming and secure communities.

Constituent Power: Law, Popular Rule and Politics
- 2020
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Recent social and political developments, including the presidential elections in the United States, antidemocratic state policies in Hungary and Poland, and the political climate in the rest of Europe have brought questions relating to the position and composition of ’the people’ in constitutional democracies to the forefront. This book confronts these questions head on as leading scholars across the fields of law, legal theory, political theory and history explore the contemporary problems facing constitutional democracies. With a strong focus on constitutional law, this book examines the legal as well as the political power of ‘the people’ in constitutional democracies. Bringing together an international range of contributors from the USA, Latin America, the UK and continental Europe, it explores the complex relationship between constitutional democracy and ‘the people’. Contributors explore this relationship through the lens of radical democracy, engaging with the work of key figures such as Hannah Arendt, Carl Schmitt, Claude Lefort and Jacques Rancière.

Claiming Human Rights: The Reflexive Identity of the People

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter I try to discern the shape of a phantom. The phantom is the people in a democracy. The first argument which will be put forward is that democracy cannot exist without such a phantom. But this phantasmagorical presence of the people in society can threaten the very democracy which it makes possible, in two ways. First, the phantom can prove to be no more than that – a mere figment of the imagination, a fantasy without any substance. If that were the case, then any claim that law could be legitimated as popular rule would be a fraud. Second, the phantom could acquire a concrete existence in society. As any reader of ghost stories will know, where a ghost becomes flesh, becomes incarnated in the land of the living, things do not turn our well for those affected.There is another fate possible for this phantom – drawing on the theory of Claude Lefort, I will set out how ‘the People’ can remain in the transcendental realm, and act as a symbol, a symbol to which all can refer by no one can possess. It is only when the people is so understood that democracy is possible. The central argument presented in this chapter is that it is the act of claiming human rights which makes possible this symbolic existence of the people. In a democracy, constituent power is exercised not by those who invoke ‘the people’ in order to claim authority, but by those who invoke it by claiming their rights as equal members of the that people, in order to challenge authority’s claim of legitimacy.

Öppet brev till Tobias Billström om 7 oktober och rätten till självförsvar inom folkrätten
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Dagens Juridik.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Sedan Hamas attack den 7 oktober har vi vant oss vid att höra Sveriges regering uttrycka att Israel har “rätt till självförsvar inom folkrätten”. Det är inte en dålig utgångspunkt, men den förpliktigar och dess betydelse förändras också över tid. Vi menar att regeringen nu har kommit till en punkt där Sverige måste säga andra saker om vi fortfarande vill vara ett land som låter sin utrikespolitik styras av folkrätten. Låt oss förklara. Hamas attack den 7 oktober och de urskillningslösa raketangreppen efteråt är krigsförbrytelser. Folkrätten förbjuder attacker mot civila, gisslantagande och en lång rad andra handlingar som utfördes den dagen. Ett annat sätt att beskriva handlingarna är brott mot mänskligheten. När den svenska regeringen säger att Israel har en rätt till självförsvar inom folkrätten har man redan fattat beslutet att oavsett hur avskyvärda handlingarna den 7 oktober var, och hur de beskrivs folkrättsligt, så måste Israels svar förhålla sig till det internationella regelverket. Självförsvar är Israels officiella förklaring för sina handlingar efter den 7 oktober, och särskilt från den 14 oktober då krigshandlingarna i Gaza intensifierades. För en stor del av världens länder har det varit viktigt att hålla med. Ställd inför attacken den 7 oktober går ett sådant ställningstagande att förstå. Samtidigt har världens folkrättsexpertis debatterat vad en rätt till självförsvar i förhållande till Gaza egentligen innebär. Detta har att göra inte så mycket med attacken som sådan utan med Gazas folkrättsliga status. Det går att hävda att Israel inte har en rätt till självförsvar för att Gaza alltjämt är ockuperat. Men låt oss istället följa den svenska regeringens utgångspunkt att Israel har en rätt till självförsvar. En sådan rätt har nämligen både tillåtande och begränsande konsekvenser. De sedvanerättsliga kraven på rätten till självförsvar utgörs av nödvändighet och proportionalitet. De innebär i korthet att självförsvaret ska vara nödvändigt för att avvärja den attack som staten har blivit utsatt för och proportionerlig i förhållande till dess konsekvenser. Dessa krav gäller under hela den tid som självförsvaret utövas. Huruvida de är uppfyllda eller ej är således en bedömning som är föränderlig över tid. Det sätt på vilket israeliska regeringsföreträdare uttalade sig i samband med att den större operationen inleddes i Gaza gav anledning till oro. Hur ska Israel helt kunna göra sig av med Hamas? I takt med att vi har kunnat se denna ambition omformas till krigshandlingar, kan vi konstatera att Israels självförsvar går utöver nödvändighet och proportionalitet och således inte längre företas ”inom folkrätten”. Det finns folkrättsliga regler också kring hur krigshandlingar får företas på mer detaljerad, taktisk nivå. Detta är krigets lagar. En grundbult i denna är att anledningen till kriget är ovidkommande. Till stora delar är det också ovidkommande om motståndaren, som i detta fall, själv har begått krigsförbrytelser. Vi har många gånger hört att Gaza är extremt tätbefolkat. Vi har också hört om en stor mängd Hamas-soldater som är utspridda bland civilbefolkningen samt i ett omfattande tunnelnätverk under mark. Israel har använt en så stor mängd flygattacker efter den 7 oktober att tidigare krig som Israel har bedrivit i Gaza bleknar i jämförelse. Konsekvenserna för civilbefolkningen är ofattbara. Fler mål än tidigare angrips och mindre precisa vapensystem används. Men hur står sig dessa handlingar i förhållande till krigets lagar? Här duger inte några svepande bedömningar. Dessa normer befinner sig på en militärt taktisk nivå. Varje attack ska bedömas utifrån det specifika militära syftet och vad befälhavaren kunde veta vid tillfället för beslutet. Det höga antalet civila som har dödats är enbart indicier på att förbudet mot urskillningslöst våld kan ha överskridits och/eller att befälhavarens proportionalitetsbedömningar är så tillåtande att de är folkrättsstridiga. Men vi vet omständigheterna vid en del attacker, bland annat attacken mot sjukhuset al-Shifa, och även attacker där Israel på ett utförligt sätt har beskrivit vem eller vad man har angripit och där den militära nödvändigheten av attacken kan ställas mot civila offer. I dessa fall kan vi gå från indicier på olaglig krigföring till tydlig bevisning om att så är fallet. Sjukhus får inte angripas. Att undantaget om att medicinska enheter har använts på ett sätt som är skadligt för motparten skulle vara uppfyllt har inte kunnat påvisas. Ett fall där en av de påstådda angriparna för attacken den 7 oktober angreps i ett flyktingläger aktualiserar hur Israels proportionalitetsbedömningar verkar se helt annorlunda ut i detta krig jämfört med tidigare. Den israeliska militärens ”tolerans” mot civila dödsoffer har förvånat, för att inte säga chockat, även hårdföra experter i krigets lagar. De går långt utöver de gränser som jämförbara krigsmakter såsom USA har satt upp i exempelvis kriget mot ISIS. Vi vill här igen understryka att vad Israel blev utsatt för den 7 oktober och alltjämt blir utsatt för i termer av fortsatt raketbeskjutning och ej återbördad gisslan är betydelselöst i dessa rättsliga bedömningar. Så länge vi talar om ett självförsvar ”inom folkrätten” har anledningen till kriget ingen bäring på hur kriget får utföras. Attacker mot sjukhus, mot civila, eller mot militära mål där civila offer inte står i proportion till den militära nytta som eftersträvas, är, i allvarliga fall, som här, krigsförbrytelser. Ett ökande glapp mellan Israels krigföring och krigets lagar har förstärkt uppfattningen att ett eldupphör är nödvändigt. Sveriges stöd till den icke-bindande resolution i FN:s generalförsamling som kräver detsamma, var därför viktigt. En generös tolkning av de förtydliganden som regeringen gjort i samband med omröstningen ger intryck av att man står fast vid att inte bara båda parters, utan också alla handlingar, alltjämt måste ske ”inom folkrätten”. Sveriges position till den långsiktiga lösningen av Israel-Palestinakonflikten har under lång tid varit att en Palestinsk stat etableras vid sidan av den israeliska: En tvåstatslösning. Vi tvingas då påpeka att de specifika olagliga handlingar som skett under de senaste månaderna sker i ett sammanhang av en strukturell olaglighet som står i vägen för en sådan lösning. Vad vi talar om är den ockupation som har varat i mer än femtio år. Vi talar också om en bosättarpolitik som har delat upp ett framtida palestinskt territorium i smådelar och som har letts av ett etablerande av ”fakta på marken” i direkt strid med Israels internationella förpliktelser. En permanent ockupation slutar vara en laglig ockupation och att tillåta den egna befolkningen att tränga ut den ockuperade befolkningen, tillämpa militärlagar för palestinier och inhemsk lagstifning för israeliska bosättare ser alltmer ut som en olaglig diskriminerande enstatslösning. Vi ser hur den svenska linjen – ”inom folkrätten” – undergrävs eller direkt trampas på i såväl det specifika som det strukturella, i det kortare och i det längre tidsperspektivet. Att fortsätta upprepa imperativet “självförsvar inom folkrätten” som om man inte ser vad som sker, är inte längre gångbart. Israels självförsvar bedrivs inte längre inom folkrätten. Det finns tydliga indikationer på att krigsförbrytelser nu begås i Gaza. Till dessa specifika kränkningar av folkrätten ska också läggas strukturella olagligheter som undergräver den svenska långsiktiga tvåstatslösningen. Om folkrätten inte längre är utgångspunkt för svensk utrikespolitik bör regeringen sluta använda uttrycket ”inom folkrätten”. Frågan är vilka principer som den svenska utrikespolitiken ska formas efter då?

Drivers and Barriers to Deploy Microgrid in Sweden
- 2022
-
Ingår i: IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe. - 9781665480321 ; 2022-October
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper aims to identify drivers and barriers of microgrid deployment in Sweden for gaining insights on the upscaling potential of microgrid adoption in the country. Furthermore, two real-life distribution grids in southern Sweden are used to dimension the energy storage system (ESS) needed to enable island operation of the grids through power balance analysis. The results have also shown the benefit of interconnecting two adjacent distribution grids to form an interconnected microgrid. Through interconnection, the size of ESS can be reduced by around 23% as compared to operating two microgrids separately on their own. The analysis has also shown a potential to further reduce the ESS size if the weather information is considered.

International Law and Posthuman Theory
- 2024
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- From the vast environmental devastation being caused by climate change, to the increasing use of artificial intelligence by various international legal actors, to international law’s ongoing need to face up to its colonial past, international law is changing. Assembling a series of voices from across the field of international law, this book demonstrates how posthuman theory can be used to better understand and tackle some of the challenges that contemporary international law is facing. International law traditionally aims to regulate and preserve a stable global order in which states act as its main subjects, yet the sources availed for this ordering exercise – international legal statutes, customary international law, historical precedents and general principles of law – create a framework, reactive and conservative in character. International law’s perpetual turn towards its own past slows down its capacity to act on contemporary challenges and imagine futures yet to come – unless it is coupled with a theoretical framework worthy of that task. This collection maintains that posthuman theory can be used to better understand and tackle some of the challenges that contemporary international law is facing. Covering a wide array of key contemporary topics – from environmental law and the law of the sea, to issues of race and the continued power of colonialism in international law, to human rights law, to key concerns raised by conflict, and the impact of science and technology on international law – this collection is the first to bring new and emerging research on posthuman theory and international law together into one volume. This book’s posthuman engagement with central international legal debates, prefaced by Rosi Braidotti, the leading scholar in the field of posthuman theory, provides a perfect resource for students and scholars in international law, as well as critical and socio-legal theorists, and others with interests in posthuman thought, technology, colonialism and ecology.

Introduction to International Law and Posthuman Theory
- 2024
-
Ingår i: International law and posthuman theory / edited by Matilda Arvidsson and Emily Jones.. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781032658032
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this introduction to the edited volume International Law and Posthuman Theory posthuman theory is situated as sitting between the convergence of, on the one hand, critical post-humanism, i.e., the critique of the white, heterosexual, able-bodied man as the central focus of Western thought (including legal thought) and post-anthropocentrism on the other, i.e. the idea that the human sits in hierarchy over nature, matter, non-human animals and machines. Drawing on the growing body of posthuman international legal scholarship, the introduction shows how posthuman theory may be helpful to international law and legal analyses as well as how this body of scholarship enters into conversation with related concerns and ongoing debates in international law. Positioning the chapters of the volume in context of both posthuman and international legal scholarship and practice, this introduction, moreover, provides concrete examples of how to approach some of the most pressing concerns of our own time.

Subjecthood in Cyberspace and the Uncanny Valley of International Law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351. ; 92:84, s. 138-169
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article the authors build on Masahiro Mori’s 1970’s essay “The Uncanny Valley”, psychoanalysis and critical legal pluralism, to analyse how the uncanny in international law is exposed through law’s encounter with the a-human, non-human, and more-than-human phenomena challenging legal subjecthood in cyberspace. Discussing autonomous decision-making, dwellers and encounters in international law’s uncanny valley the article proposes that international law needs to cater to a spectrum of non-human subjectivities, entities, laws and normativities. In short, international law needs to ‘get over itself’ and its contstant anxiety in the face of the plurality of laws and Others.

Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence, Decision Making and International Law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351. ; 92:1
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The question how AI (including machine learning) impacts on law in general, and on international law in particular, has gained more and more traction in recent years. Ensuing debates have mainly homed in on threats and opportunities posed to law by this technology, and remained on a rather abstract level. With this special issue, we wish to add granularity to existing research by narrowing our focus to what we see as a critical area. Our question is how AI-supported decision-making might impact on the formation of international law through custom or treaty interpretation. This allows us to track how technologically induced practice makes its way into domestic law, and, potentially, from there onwards into international law. We base ourselves on the insight that all forms of practice rely, in one way or another, on enabling technologies, and that technological change therefore eo ipso garners changes in practice. Whether these changes are relevant under domestic and international law is what we set out to chart in a number of fields of international law. By selecting assisted and automatic decision-making supported by AI as a technology, we delimit this special issue to those practices that shape the social contract on which our societies rest.

Besvärligt kunskapande i högskolepedagogik : Difficult knowledge production in higher education pedagogy
- 2023

Ingår i: Högskolepedagogisk konferens, Göteborgs universitet 2023.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I detta samtal bjuder vi in till ett utbyte av erfarenheter och tankar om hur vi som pedagoger kan arbeta med kunskap som på ett mer grundläggande plan är utmanande för studenterna. Med utmanande menar vi i detta sammanhang inte att kunskapen är tekniskt svår eller komplex utan att den ger studenten skäl att ifrågasätta tidigare positioner. Ett ifrågasättande som direkt eller i förlängningen berör inte bara det ämne som är fokus för undervisningen utan studentens självbild, samhällssyn, ideologi mm. Vi talar om en typ av transformativ kunskap som på något plan är irreversibel (den enskilde studenten kan inte gå tillbaka till en position som förelåg kunskapandet) och vilken inte sällan kan ge upphov till ilska, irritation, och frustration hos studenter. Snarare än att få en ’lösning’ når studenten ett tillstånd av kunskapande som genererar nya frågor. Temat knyter an till det som Perkins benämnt ”troublesome learning” (Perkins 1999). Vi (Stendahl och Arvidsson) har båda från olika håll och med olika pedagogiska verktyg medvetet arbetet med besvärligt kunskapande i högskolepedagogiska situationer.
