Coloniality and Decolonisation in the Nordic region
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book advances critical discussions about what coloniality, decoloniality and decolonization mean and imply in the Nordic region. It brings together analysis of complex realities from the perspectives of the Nordic peoples, a region that are often overlooked in current research, and explores the processes of decolonization that are taking place in this region. The book offers a variety of perspectives that engage with issues such as Islamic feminism and the progressive left; racialization and agency among Muslim youths; indigenizing distance language education for Sami; extractivism and resistance among the Sami; the Nordic international development endeavour through education; Swedish TV-reporting on Venezuela; creolizing subjectivities across Roma and non-Roma worlds and hierarchies; and the whitewashing and sanitization of decoloniality in the Nordic region. As such, this book extends much of the productive dialogue that has recently occurred internationally in decolonial thinking but also in the areas of critical race theory, whiteness studies, and postcolonial studies to concrete and critical problems in the Nordic region. This should make the book of considerable interest to scholars of history of ideas, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, international development studies, legal sociology and (intercultural) philosophy with an interest in coloniality and decolonial social change.

Labour rights as human rights? : trajectories in the global governance of migration
- 2015. - 1
-
Ingår i: Migration, precarity, and global governance. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 9780198728863 ; , s. 223-244
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter Branka Likić-Brborić addresses the emerging global governance of migration. She scrutinizes the structuring of human and labour rights discourses and contingencies for their institutionalisation and implementation by discussing their prospects for the promotion of global social justice. Issues of accountability and contingencies for the implementation of labour and human rights as migrants’ rights are discussed in the wider context of the existing global governance architecture. The chapter questions assumptions that setting up a workable model for codification and institutionalisation of labour standards, human rights and migrants’ rights could be left to a currently asymmetric global governance regime or to a variety of codes of corporate social responsibility. Global and regional trade union confederations and other civil society organizations have an essential role in repositioning a rights-based approach to migration, labour standards and development onto the terrain of a just globalisation.

More than just a carding system: Labour implications of the EU’s illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing policy in Thailand
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Marine Policy. - : Elsevier BV. - 0308-597X. ; 127
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Globally, the EU plays a leading role in combating Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities. Specifically, the EU exercises normative power to influence regulatory strategies and governing frameworks in third countries. In 2015, the EU issued Thailand a yellow card, indicating that economic sanctions would be implemented unless IUU fishing practices were eliminated. Concurrently, revelations about ‘modern slavery’ in Thailand's fishing industry had received international attention, through media and NGOs, exposing slavery-like practices among migrant fishworkers. Conventionally, the EU IUU policy addresses only issues of catch and environmental sustainability. This paper explores how an initial bilateral dialogue was bifurcated into two dialogues: a Fishery Dialogue and a Labour Dialogue. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with involved actors, expert opinions, field-visits and secondary documents, we ask: How were labour issues integrated into the bilateral dialogue, and what consequences emerged from the IUU policy for Thai fisheries management? Tracing the bilateral dialogue between EU and Thai governments, we argue that Thailand's fisheries reform was a result of both fisheries’ sustainability concerns and the kind of labour rights valued by the EU. Our Normative Power Europe approach shows how norms of labour rights shaped the reform through policies and implementation. We maintain that this unique case-study reveals how the EU incorporates a broad-based normative approach that goes beyond catch sustainability.

Democracy and Populism: Testing a Contentious Relationship
- 2019
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The phenomenon of populism and its relationship with modern democracy has gained considerable attention in recent years. This paper aims at advancing our understanding of how populism affects different models of democracy and tests the proposed arguments empirically. Building on the large scholarly literature on populism and democracy, we take stock of existing arguments and theorize which democratic models may be affected by populism in a positive or a negative way. Moreover, we move beyond the normative debate and analyse the effect of populism in power on different models of democracy empirically. We do so by merging data on populist governments in Europe and Latin America from the 1995 until today with the Varieties of Democracy data set, which enables us to capture the relationship between populism and different democratic models in these regions.

Ingår i: Stjärnspäckat : Reflektioner från amerikanska presidentvalet 2020 av ledande forskare.. - Sundsvall : Mittuniversitetet. - 9789188527714

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vad som händer i USA antas påverka hela omvärlden. Stjärnspäckat är vårt bidrag till att snabbt analysera valresultatet och dess påverkan på svenskt samhällsliv. Titeln associerar både till stjärnbaneret och till kalibern på de medverkande experterna som generöst bidragit med sina respektive analyser av det amerikanska valet och dess konsekvenser.Den vetenskapliga analysen av val och valrörelser har långa traditioner. Inte minst svenska forskare var tidigt ute med omfattande studier av svenska val. Vi själva har också nära följt många val. Såväl här på hemmaplan som till Europaparlamentet och i USA. Vi menar att det finns goda skäl att återigen ge utrymme för akademiska analyser nära efter valets genomförande. I vanlig ordning ges perspektiv från medie- och statsvetenskap. Men då amerikanska val tilldrar sig ett enormt intresse och har stor påverkan på många aspekter av samhället menar vi att det finns anledning att bredda analysen till att inkludera expertis från även andra akademiska discipliner. I denna rapport tar vi således ett mångvetenskapligt perspektiv på det amerikanska valet. Med bidrag från såväl naturvetenskap som humaniora och samhällsvetenskap är vår övertygelse att vi kan nå en bredare förståelse för det amerikanska valet och dess påverkan på Sverige än vad en traditionell valanalys skulle bidra med. Rapporten är den tredje i sitt slag där vi samlar ledande forskare för att analysera val och valrörelser. I Snabbtänkt analyserades det svenska valet 2018 medan vi tog oss an Europaparlamentsvalet 2019 i Euroflections. Upplägget är enkelt. Varje medverkande forskare ges en sida för att med utgångspunkt i sin expertis analysera det amerikanska valet och i vad mån det har betydelse för Sverige. Stilistiskt är anslaget populärvetenskapligt och vårt mål är att texterna ska läsas av en bredare läsekrets än de som vanligtvis tar sig an veten-skapliga publikationer. Man kan läsa rapporten från pärm till pärm eller välja ut godbitarna.Även om framtiden står skriven i stjärnorna är vår förhoppning att denna volym ger läsaren insikter som kan underlätta tydningen av den.

Residents' collective strategies of resistance in Global South cities' informal settlements: Space, scale and knowledge
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Cities. - : Elsevier BV. - 0264-2751. ; 125
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines the strategies of resistance articulated by residents of informal settlements response to urban exclusion. Building upon resistance and urban social movements literature the paper is informed by the case of the Villa Rodrigo Bueno in Buenos Aires, a self-constructed villa miseria, and its residents' stories of resistance to attempts of evictions and upgrading programs. In the paper we show how resistance is mobilized, first through its simultaneous disconnection, due to its remoteness and isolation; and reconnection to local and global supportive networks. While disconnection facilitated self-construction, densification and the blooming of informal entrepreneurship; reconnection through relational and multiscalar sites enabled unexpected encounters with distant actors that contributed to resist evictions. Second, the long-term learning and development of self-knowledge (i.e. construction, or housing law), embedded in the remoteness of the informal settlement, contributed to shift expertise from city officers to residents; redefining the role of informal residents into active citizens and experts in policy making, and turning informal settlements into settings of wider social change.
