Uppdrag samverkan : om konsten att samarbeta när det gäller
- 2023
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ett effektivt totalförsvar är beroende av väl fungerande samverkan mellan olika aktörer. Idag används begreppet samverkan som ett magiskt ord. I visioner och regelverk beskrivs samverkan både som en nyckel till framgång och en lösning på komplexa problem. Men hur går samverkan till i praktiken?I boken berättar rutinerade aktörer från totalförsvarets olika delar om sina erfarenheter av samverkan. Här finns konkreta exempel där yrkesverksamma beskriver hur de ställts inför svåra utmaningar, överväganden och beslut inom ramarna för olika former av krishantering. Uppdrag Samverkan – om konsten att samarbeta när det gäller bygger på ett forskningsprojekt, ”Erfarenhetsforum Samverkan” som under åren 2019–2022 bedrivits vid Centrum för studier av militär och samhälle.

Uppdrag veteran : om svenska militära utlandsveteraner
- 2020
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- “In my daily life, I have ended up as chairman in all the associations I’ve been involved with. They can see that you’re solution-driven, get things done and are communicative, I guess.” The ambition of the Swedish Armed Forces is that a veteran should be perceived as someone with “a proven high physical and mental capability” and someone “well trained in leading and co-operating with others”. How is this ambition perceived in reality? The aim of the project “Veterans in Swedish Society – Proud, Respected, Valuable” is to provide a broader knowledge-base focusing on the veterans as a competent resource within the civil society and working-life. By means of qualitative methods, the research project explores questions like: What experiences do the veterans themselves have switching from military service to civilian working life? In what way has their knowledge and experiences as veterans been requested on the job market? Have they felt respected because of being a veteran? Preliminary results show that veterans are perceived as professional by civilian employers, being task-oriented and having the “right attitude”. But the veterans are also struggling to face ignorance and misconceptions about what their former military experience means.

Military Competence-in-Use in the Expeditionary Era : A Swedish Example From Missions Abroad
- 2024
-
In: Armed forces and society. - : Sage Publications. - 0095-327X .- 1556-0848. ; 50:2, s. 476-496
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In Swedish military policy, the concept of kompetens (competence) describes the skills and capability of military personnel. Furthermore, “competence-in-use,” a multidimensional conceptual tool, has been used for decades in Swedish military instruction and training without having ever been empirically proven. In this pilot study, designed as an exploratory case study, we will try to connect theory to practice by examining the actual situations in which military competence is used. This article has two aims: First, to examine the relevance of the concept of competence-in-use in Swedish military practice abroad, and second, to combine and evaluate two methods in an exploratory case study. To capture firsthand experiences of real combat situations, we selected a sample of 28 firsthand narratives from Swedish service members. Our mapping identifies the blurred transition between combat and noncombat situations. By way of conclusion, we suggest that our analysis tool is further tested, for example, in comparative studies between nations.

Transformations of the Military Profession and Professionalism in Scandinavia
- 2021
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- What characterises the development and social transformation of the military profession in Scandinavia? Has the broadening of tasks, function and scope of the military profession lead to changes in the values, outlook and behaviour of groups of the armed forces? And what kind of changes are the cultural and structural interpenetration of civilian and military spheres, including hybrid forms of professionalism, generating and what are the significance and implications of such changes? Transformations of the Military Profession and Professionalism in Scandinavia brings together a number of expert scholars within Military Studies and related fields to provide timely and updated answers to these highly important questions – answers with potential implications far beyond the Scandinavian case.

Den svenska veteranen : en kompetent resurs i arbetsliv och samhälle
- 2020
-
In: Uppdrag veteran. - Stockholm : Centrum för studier av militär och samhälle; Svenskt militärhistoriskt bibliotek. - 9789188885302 ; , s. 181-195

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- ”Många blir förvånade – är du veteran?! De tänker sig något annat.” Varannan svensk uppger att de inte vet vad en utlandsveteran är. Många svenskar associerar veteraner med ”någon som kan ha behov av stöd” samtidigt som svensk Försvarsmaktens ambition är att veteranen ska uppfattas som ”ansvarstagande” med en ”bevisat hög fysisk och mental förmåga” samt någon som är ”väl tränade i att samarbeta med och leda andra”. Syftet med projektet är att ta fram ett utvidgat kunskapsunderlag med fokus på veteranen som kompetent resurs i samhälle och Försvarsmakt. Med hjälp av kvalitativa metoder undersöks bland annat frågor som: På vilket sätt upplever du att din kunskap kommer till nytta? Hur upplever du samhällets/arbetsgivares/närståendes syn på dig som veteran? När har du haft användning av erfarenheter från din utlandstjänst? Upplever du att din utlandstjänst uppfattas som en merit? När har du känt dig respekterad som veteran? Vad får du för frågor om din utlandstjänst?

The Dynamics of Military Skills : The Role of Experience-Based Knowledge in Challenging Situations
- 2020
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies. - : Scandinavian Military Studies. - 2596-3856. ; 3:1, s. 55-67
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on narratives from Swedish officers’ experiences from challenging situations, the article investigates the role of experience-based knowledge in military practice. Officers must be prepared to act in situations in which they do not have full control, make decisions under uncertain circumstances, and master tasks with conflicting rules, objectives, and means. These conditions apply in an overseas warfare environment, and also back home. The officers’ ability to adequately interpret phenomena in a given situation includes a variety of inarticulable knowledge. The aim of this article is to examine two aspects of military practice: (I) what role experience plays when handling challenging situations, and (II) how different kinds of knowledge are active in forming a professional skill. Using a set of epistemological concepts (phronesis, knowledge of familiarity, skill acquisition model), the article presents an analytical framework that focuses on experience-based forms of knowledge. The results show that experience-based aspects of knowledge which are crucial in military practice run the risk of not being discussed, because established methods and research traditions are focusing on measurable forms of knowledge. Finally, the article discusses the risk of de-professionalization due to unilateral use of monitoring and evaluation methods that primarily focus on forms of knowledge that can be calculated and expressed explicitly.
