Environmental crises and the metabolic rift in world-historical perspective
- 2000
-
In: Organization & environment. - 1086-0266 .- 1552-7417. ; 13:2, s. 123-157

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article proposes a new theoretical framework to study the dialectic of capital and nature over the longue durée of world capitalism. The author proposes that today’s global ecological crisis has its roots in the transition to capitalism during the long sixteenth century. The emergence of capitalism marked not only a decisive shift in the arenas of politics, economy, and society, but a fundamental reorganization of world ecology, characterized by a “metabolic rift,” a progressively deepening rupture in the nutrient cycling between the country and the city. Building upon the historical political economy of Marx, Foster, Arrighi, and Wallerstein, the author proposes a new research agenda organized around the concept of systemic cycles of agro-ecological transformation. This agenda aims at discerning the ways in which capitalism’s relationship to nature developed discontinuously over time as recurrent ecological crises have formed a decisive moment of world capitalist crisis, forcing successive waves of restructuring over long historical time.

The Socio-Ecological Crises of Capitalism

In: Capital and its Discontents. - Oakland : PM Press. - 9781552663943 ; , s. 136-152
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I think the lesson is that Malthus was wrong because he took the problem of limits outside of history, outside the history that women and men make in the modern world. So the issue is not that there is no scarcity — of course, capitalism is a system that is premised on induced scarcity. That’s why markets in the capitalist era function the way that they do. So I think the mistake of the left has been in a certain reluctance to deal with the problems of scarcity, or in some cases back into an embrace of a neo-Malthusian scarcity mentality in which there are these “natural limits” that are outside of how capitalism functions historically as an ecological regime.

'Amsterdam is Standing on Norway', Part I : The Alchemy of Capital, Empire and Nature in the Diaspora of Silver, 1545–1648
- 2010
-
In: Journal of Agrarian Change. - 1471-0358 .- 1471-0366. ; 10:1, s. 33-68
-
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.

Ecology, Capital, and the Nature of Our Times : Accumulation & Crisis in the Capitalist World-Ecology
- 2011
-
In: Journal of World-Systems Research. - 1076-156X. ; 17:1, s. 108-147
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this essay, I elaborate the possibilities for a unified theory of historical capitalism – one that views the accumulation of capital and the production of nature (humans included!) as dialectically constituted. In this view, the modern world-system is a capitalist world-ecology, a world-historical matrix of human- and extra-human nature premised on endless commodification. The essay is organized in three movements. I begin by arguing for a reading of modernity’s “interdependent master processes” (Tilly) as irreducibly socio-ecological. Capitalism does not develop upon global nature so much as it emerges through the messy and contingent relations of humans with the rest of nature. Second, the paper engages Giovanni Arrighi’s handling of time, space, and accumulation in The Long Twentieth Century. I highlight Arrighi’s arguments for a “structurally variant” capitalism, and the theory of organizational revolutions, as fruitful ways to construct a theory of capitalism as world-ecology. I conclude with a theory of accumulation and its crises as world-ecological process, building out from Marx’s “general law” of underproduction. Historically, capitalism has been shaped by a dialectic of underproduction (too few inputs) and overproduction (too many commodities). Today, capitalism is poised for a re-emergence of underproduction crises, characterized by the insufficient flow of cheap food, fuel, labor, and energy to the productive circuit of capital. Far from the straightforward expression of “overshoot” and “peak everything,” the likely resurgence of underproduction crises is an expression of capitalism’s longue durée tendency to undermine its conditions of reproduction. The world-ecological limit of capital, in other words, is capital itself.

Nature and the transition from feudalism to capitalism
- 2003
-
In: Review: A Journal of the Fernand Braudel Center. - 0147-9032. ; 26:2, s. 97-172
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An epochal transformation of nature-society relations was inscribed in the transition from feudalism to capitalism. This article advances three central propositions. First, the origins of today’s global ecological crisis are found in the emergence of the capitalist world-economy in the “long” sixteenth century - not in industrialization, population growth, or market expansion, as the conventional wisdom would have it. Secondly, the crisis of feudalism was a general crisis not only of medieval Europe’s political economy, but in equal measure an expression of feudalism’s underlying ecological contradictions. Thirdly, the rise of capitalism effected a radical recomposition of world ecology. As early as the sixteenth century, we can see how the emergent logic of capital, which at once implies endless expansion and seeks to flatten socio-ecological diversity, undermined the possibilities for a sustainable relation between nature and society. Capitalism thus differed radically from feudalism and all other precapitalist formations. Where earlier ecological crises had been local, capitalism globalized them. From this standpoint, the origins of capitalism may shed light on today’s ecological crises.

The end of the road? : agricultural revolutions in the capitalist World-ecology, 1450-2010
- 2010
-
In: Journal of Agrarian Change. - : Wiley - Blackwell. - 1471-0358 .- 1471-0366. ; 10:3, s. 389-413
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Does the present socio-ecological impasse – captured in popular discussions of the ‘end’ of cheap food and cheap oil – represent the latest in a long history of limits and crises that have been transcended by capital, or have we arrived at an epochal turning point in the relation of capital, capitalism and agricultural revolution? For the better part of six centuries, the relation between world capitalism and agriculture has been a remarkable one. Every great wave of capitalist development has been paved with ‘cheap’ food. Beginning in the long sixteenth century, capitalist agencies pioneered successive agricultural revolutions, yielding a series of extraordinary expansions of the food surplus. This paper engages the crisis of neoliberalism today, and asks: Is another agricultural revolution, comparable to those we have known in the history of capitalism, possible? Does the present conjuncture represent a developmental crisis of capitalism that can be resolved by establishing new agro-ecological conditions for another long wave of accumulation, or are we now witnessing an epochal crisis of capitalism? These divergent possibilities are explored from a perspective that views capitalism as ‘world-ecology’, joining together the accumulation of capital and the production of nature in dialectical unity.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Projektet Förmoderna kustmiljöer. Natur, klimat och samhälle vid Östersjökusten före ca 1800 är en komparativ miljöhistorisk studie av lokalt resursutnyttjande och miljöpåverkan under förmodern tid (järnålder till tidigt 1800-tal). Projektets övergripande tema ”människoskapade miljöförändringarkontra naturprocesser” undersöks genom intensivstudier av några lokalakustsamhällens elasticitet och överlevnadsförmåga. Såväl långsiktiga somkortsiktiga förändringar studeras. Hur anpassade sig sådana samhällen tilllångsamma naturprocesser, och vilka strategier valdes för att hantera kortarehistoriska fluktuationer och förändringsförlopp? Vilka konsekvenser fick devalda anpassningsstrategierna för närmiljön? Projektet syftar till ett disciplinöverskridande samarbete mellan arkeologi, historia och geografi. Delprojekten behandlar kompletterande perspektiv, där yttre naturförhållanden(landhöjning, klimatförändringar och växlingar i den marinbiologiska faunanetc.), samt yttre samhällsförhållanden (närhet till stat och marknad) ställsmot lokalsamhällets inre anpassnings- och förändringsstrategier. Undersökningen är komparativ, med undersökningsområden i lokala kust- och skärgårdsmiljöer vid Östersjön. I första hand kommer Stockholms södra skärgård och Estlands kust, med Saaremaa (Ösel) och Hiumaa (Dagö), att studeras, men även områden i Finland och västra Ryssland.

Naturresurser, klimat och samhälle vid östersjökusten före 1800 - ett miljöhistoriskt projekt.
- 2006
-
Editorial collection (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Projektet "Förmoderna kustmiljöer" handlar om samspelet mellan kustmiljöernas förändring och människors liv huvudsakligen under de senaste 1500 åren. Projektet ställer naturprocesser mot samhälleliga förändringar i ett försök att förstå samspelet mellan människa och miljö. Kustens resurser bildar en fond mot vilken vi försöker förstå människornas verksamheter, strategier och tänkande. Naturens utmaning möter människors kamp och anpassning, och i den processen skapas landskap och miljöer. Förändringarna är ofta smygande, nästan omärkligt gradvisa, men ibland också kortsiktiga, tillfälliga och dramatiska. Projektet strävar efter att belysa utvecklingen ur båda dessa tidsperspektiv, i ett försök att se historiens riktning, upptäcka brytpunkter och eventuella "systemskiften".

- The project Pre-Modern Coastal Environments has as its objective the studyof local resource use in selected coastal regions along the Baltic Sea. Thestudy’s main purpose is to determine the correlation between the effects ofhuman activities on the environment and the effects of naturally occurringenvironmental change. This will be achieved by using case studies focussingon the elasticity and survival capacity of specific coastal societies in easternSweden and western Estonia. The project will study settlement patterns,trade and industry, in relation to changes in the physical environment in thecontext of offshore displacement, climate changes, and changes in marinebiota. The project is a multidisciplinary cooperative effort of six researcherswho represent the disciplines of history, archaeology, human geography andphysical geography.

Coloniality and Decolonisation in the Nordic region
- 2023
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)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.

Degraded and restituted towns in Poland: Origins, development, problems : Miasta zdegradowane i restytuowane w Polsce. Geneza, rozwój, problemy
- 2015
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- One of the less known problems in settlement geography is the issue of so-called degraded and restituted towns. This lack of reconnaissance, however, is perhaps less the result of the towns’ scarcity than their specificity of being ‘awarded’ or ‘deprived of’ an urban label by means of strictly socio-political actions. Degraded and restituted towns, hence, are spatial units made ‘urban’ or ‘rural’ instantaneously, irrespective of their de facto state along what is widely considered a gradual path of (de)urbanization. Instead, they become compartmentalized into two constructed spatial categories that have survived the onslaught of material transformations and philosophical repositioning through different whims of time. While ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ are conceptual binaries that certainly need to be treated with caution, their cultural salience may cause tangible consequences within national administrative systems that abide by a formalized rural-urban distinction. This issue becomes particularly important for settlements that clearly transcend any imagined rural-urban divide, i.e. those, whose material and immaterial characteristics seem counterfactual to their assigned category. It is also crucial in formal practices designed to avert such counterfactualities, but whose ran-domness of approach more creates confusion than helps straighten out a historical concoction. Both processes, nonetheless, lend ‘urbanity’ and ‘rurality’ a resonance of objectivity, justifying their use as guides for a host of developmental endeavors, despite subverting a much more intricate reality. Degraded and restituted towns are direct derivatives of this. Drawing on the above-mentioned irreconcilabilities, the aim of this book is to present and scrutinize degraded and restituted towns through the example of Poland, where these towns occupy a special niche. For one, Poland, due to its chequered and variegated history, is home to a conspicuously large number of degraded (831) and restituted (236) towns; for another, Poland’s relentlessness of formalizing ‘urbanity’ as a category of statistical, political and cultural guidance has a direct bearing on the lives of the towns’ residents. Realizing the intricacy of degraded and restituted towns in the face of commonplace ru-ral-urban ideations, the editors and the 17 contributing Authors of this book have made an effort to capture the towns’ complexity with special foci on their shrouded origins, developmental specificity and incurred problems. Owing to the involvement of researchers from different scientific disciplines and subdisciplines, the undertaken project has helped elucidate the problem from multiple perspectives: spatial, social, demographic, economic, environmental, historical, architectural, cultural, legal and philosophical. Allocated into 17 chapters, not only have the presented interpretations allowed for a first interdisciplinary synthesis on the topic, but they also helped outline some prospective directions for future research. Moreover, collecting materials of such diversity into an amalgamated whole has helped identify specific discourses that enwrap the concept of “urbanity” when seen through its oscillations within formal contexts, and to which degraded and restituted towns serve as expendable game pieces. By combining knowledge arrived at through ontologically and epistemologically different approaches, the incremental contribution of this book as a whole could be summarized in two attainments: a) extending theoretical frameworks used to study degraded and restituted towns in terms of definition, conceptualization and assessing predispositions for future de-velopment on account of their spatial, legal, socio-economic and historical charac-teristics; b) initiating an anticipated discussion on a number of important and current topics re-lated to the practices of degradation and restitution that have not received adequate attention, e.g., the urbanity-vs.-rurality paradox, the changeability of human settlement forms vs. the consequences of rigid spatial categorizations; the role of various actors in shaping the socio-economic reality under the guise of an ossified binary; or identifying spatio-conceptual conflicts as future challenges for local, regional and national policy.

- 2011
-
Book (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Syftet med denna skrift är att ge en kort introduktion till världens ekonomi åren omkring 2010. Våra ledande ekonomier analyseras och jämförs och de snabbt växande tiger-ekonomierna studeras mer ingående. Därtill presenteras hur ett land eller en större region industrialiseras och moderniseras. Några av de centrala frågeställningarna är: Har BRIC-länderna (Brasilien, Ryssland, Indien och Kina) någon chans att utmana USA som världens ledande ekonomi? Hur moderniseras egentligen olika länder? Vilka tekniska framsteg möjliggör industriella revolutioner? Vilka naturliga och kulturella förutsättningar ligger bakom industrialiseringsprocesser runtom i världen? Skriften vänder sig särskilt till studenter på universitetens grundläggande utbildningar, gymnasieelever som studerar ekonomi- och samhällsfrågor samt till en intresserad allmänhet. Christopher Lagerqvist är fil.dr i ekonomisk historia vid Uppsala universitet och är anställd som ekonomhistoriker vid Kungl. Myntkabinettet - Sveriges ekonomiska museum.

Vad är "högre" i den högre utbildningen? : Om den högre utbildningens kvalitativa mervärde inom historieämnet vid University of Oxford och Uppsala universitet
- 2010
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Under de senaste decennierna har debatten om och insatserna för att kvalitetssäkra svensk högre utbildning och forskning varit omfattande. Att garantera en miniminivå för samtliga utbildningar har varit vägledande för arbetet. Under Uppsala universitets forsknings- och utbildningssamarbete med University of Oxford har vi valt att angripa kvalitetsproblematiken från motsatt håll. Vi har medvetet sökt efter de mekanismer som erfordras för att kunna bedriva en internationellt erkänd och framgångsrik spetsutbildning. Den övergripande frågan har varit vad som i praktiken konstituerar den vetenskapliga optimumnormen inom historieämnet vid University of Oxford.Mer konkret syftar utbildningssamarbetet mellan Uppsala universitet och University of Oxford till att utveckla ännu mer stimulerande och utmanande undervisningsmetoder i ämnena historia, ekonomisk historia och utbildningshistoria. Samarbetet består av tre övergripande moment: (1) att genomföra Oxfordkurser vid Uppsala universitet, (2) att få till stånd ett utbytesprogram för doktorander, och (3) att arrangera årligen återkommande OXFORD—UPPSALA LECTURES AND SEMINARS. I föreliggande rapport belyses det förstnämnda momentet mer ingående, med ett särskilt fokus på utbildningens kvalitativa mervärde: Vad är egentligen ”högre” i den högre utbildningen? Målsättningen är att utveckla och explicitgöra en rad olika arbetsmetoder som alla var för sig dels underlättar och stödjer studentens lärande, dels rustar studenten med erforderliga kunskaper och färdigheter inför det kommande arbetslivet — oavsett om det är inom eller utom universitetsväsendet. Avslutningsvis ges förslag på hur befintliga grund-, master- och forskarutbildningar vid Uppsala universitet ska kunna få ett ännu tydligare analytiskt innehåll. Rapporten bygger på aktivt deltagande, käll- och litteraturstudier, kursutvärderingar samt åtskilliga intervjuer och samtal med forskare, lärare, studenter och administrativ personal i såväl Oxford som Uppsala.Vår ambition är även att föreliggande rapport ska kunna ligga till grund för en mer allmän diskussion om hur svensk högre utbildning ska kunna förbättras genom en tilltagande internationalisering.

Environmental Regulation in the Pulp and Paper Industry : Impacts and Challenges
- 2019
-
In: Current Forestry Reports. - : Springer. - 2198-6436. ; 5, s. 185-198
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose of ReviewIn this article, we review existing research addressing how environmental regulations have influenced the pulp and paper industry. These regulations appear in different forms and designs and address air and water pollution as well as climate change. The paper devotes particular attention to how various regulations have affected sustainable technological change and the prospects for inducing deep emission reductions without jeopardizing industrial competitiveness and future investments.Recent FindingsExperiences from key pulp and paper regions, not least the Nordic countries, suggest that gradually tightening performance standards have contributed to radical reductions in emissions, e.g., chlorine compounds and biological oxygen demanding agents, and without imposing excessive compliance costs. This outcome can largely be attributed to how the regulations have been designed—and implemented—in practice, as well as to the presence of efficient and legitimate institutions. Long-term emission reduction targets, in combination with extended compliance periods and trustful firm-regulator relationships, contributed to radical technological innovation and permitted radical emission reductions without excessive compliance costs. The development of alternative bleaching technologies is an apt example. In contrast, the impact of carbon pricing schemes, including the EU emissions trading scheme, on carbon dioxide emissions reductions and related technological change in the pulp and paper industry has however been modest. Self-regulation, certification, and community pressure have exerted relatively modest influences on the environmental performance of the industry.SummaryImportant avenues for future research are identified. These include the following: (a) comparative research on how policy mixes in various countries have influenced environmental compliance and innovation; processes; (b) future studies of environmental regulations, their design and implementation, in emerging pulp and paper producing countries, not least China; and (c) research on how environmental regulations can affect ongoing restructurings in the industry towards a broader palette of products in biorefineries.

The political economy of industrial pollution control : environmental regulation in Swedish industry for five decades
- 2022
-
In: Journal of Environmental Planning and Management. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0964-0568 .- 1360-0559. ; 65:6, s. 1056-1087
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper analyzes the prerequisites for a regulatory-driven transition toward radically lower air and water pollution in industry. This is achieved in the empirical context of the Swedish mining and metals industry, and by investigating the environmental licensing processes during two regulatory systems. The paper derives an analytical framework that explores under what circumstances such licensing processes can result in radical emissions reductions without seriously jeopardizing the competitiveness of the industry. Archived material covering six environmental licensing processes, three during each system, is used to illustrate the various design and implementation issues. The results suggest that regulatory-driven green transitions benefit from trust-based bargaining procedures in which companies are involved in repeated interactions with regulatory authorities, and which extended probation periods permit tests of novel abatement technologies (including innovation). The findings also illustrate the importance of abstaining from simplified normative notions about policy instrument choice (e.g. taxes versus standards).

Regulating a Controversy : Inside Stakeholder Strategies and Regime Transition in the Self-Regulation of Swedish Advertising 1950–1971
- 2015
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis concerns the development of the self-regulation of advertising in Sweden from 1950 until 1971. Self-regulation was initiated in the 1930s due to a business desire to regulate fair competition in marketing, and while it initially was a minor operation, the 1950s and 1960s were characterized by extensive development. When self-regulation was overtaken by state policies in 1971, it included several interlocking systems, of which parts survived the introduction of the state regime. The thesis’ aim has been to analyze how the rapid regime transitions in the self-regulation regime can be understood.The existing literature identifies four major transitions that occurred during the studied time period. To understand them, the thesis has studied the policy processes leading up to these transitions. Focus has been on the business interest organizations that controlled the regime and their regulatory strategies. Theoretically, the analysis has departed from the hypothesis that tensions between these organizations, due to their members’ different market interests and varying levels of exposure to regulation and public badwill, to a significant degree informed their strategic choices as well as policy outcomes.The results show that the policy processes preceding the regime transitions were characterized by internal tensions, whereby organizations representing advertisers, and to a lesser degree media carriers, due to their members’ higher level of exposure to regulation and public badwill, successfully supported stronger market policing, while ad agencies, being less exposed, as well as a peak industry organization for the proliferation of marketing largely opposed such measures, preferring a more lenient regulation. However, due to increased exposure to regulation and bad will, the ad agencies finally abandoned their opposition and took the lead in regulatory innovation through the introduction of an extensive clearance program that survived the launch of the state regime, becoming a key component in the co-regulatory structure that followed.

The Financial Revolution in Sweden, 1650 – 1900
- 2013
-
In: The Handbook of Key Global Financial Markets, Institutions, and Infrastructure. - : Elsevier. ; , s. 269-280
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapters looks at the Swedish financial revolution in a long-term perspective. It begins with the establishment of the first formal financial organization, the Stockholm Banco in 1656, and follows the financial development until the end of the nineteenth century. The development of each part of the financial system is described in relation to the financial, economic, and political development as a whole. Despite its long history, the important institutional fundamentals for the Swedish financial revolution were assembled relatively late in its history, during 20 years, 1850–70, and this led to a significant shift in financial services during the years 1868–72 and an accelerated growth of the financial system thereafter.

Sovjetekonomin med svenska ögon: svenska statens bild av Sovjetunionens ekonomi 1917-56
- 2009
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Boken skildrar svenska statsföreträdares bild av Sovjetunionens ekonomi åren 1917-56. Skildringen är främst baserad på utrikesdepartementets och militärens analyser under perioden. Statsföreträdarnas bild relateras till modern forskning om Sovjetekonomin och deras bild placeras även in i en historisk kontext, för att utröna vilken betydelse den hade för svenska förhållanden. Statsföreträdarnas bild av Sovjetekonomin var mångfacetterad, inte sällan felaktig och av betydelse för svenska förhållanden.

Private landowners’ relation to land and forest in two Estonian counties
- 2010
-
In: Journal of Northern Studies. - Umeå : Umeå University & The Royal Skyttean Society. - 1654-5915. ; 2010:2, s. 33-54
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This comparative study is based on two large surveys of privateland and forest owners in two Estonian counties. While more than half of Põlvamaa is covered with forests, Läänemaa has a potential for summer tourism and second homes. We explore different rationales for obtaining landed property and analyse the individual property holders’ relations to—and use of—landand forests. Based on the two interlinked restitution and privatisation processes from 1991 onwards, our surveys reveal two main rationales among the owners:emotional and economic. The owners’ relations to the property are connected with legacies from both the interwar independence and the Soviet period. In addition, different rationalities, ambitions and attitudes are also related to how the property was obtained. In spite of the demand for land, many resituated landowners have chosen to maintain or recreate family property, even if the property was not actively used. In both Põlvamaa and Läänemaa the emotional bonds to land are strong among the owners of restituted or inherited property, while this is a weaker factor among those who have obtained land or forest through privatisation.

Advertising of a national importance the Swedish Advertisers’ Association and the institutionalization of Sweden’s international advertising 1955-1972

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Swedish Advertisers’ Association role in institutional development of Swedish international advertising during 1955–1972.Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative analysis of organizational material to analyze institutional development of collective international advertising.Findings – A new postwar paradigm that focused on a consumer-oriented brand ideology enabled marketing nexecutives in the Swedish Advertisers’ Association to develop a new discourse on international advertising inSweden, which then was institutionalized within a national network on export promotion. The institutionalization process was supported by a corporatist system typical of smaller export dependent postwar European economies.Research limitations/implications – While based on a national case, this study points to the importance of understanding how advertising concepts are embedded within other economic, political and cultural systemsthan in those they originated in and how this contributes to a heterogenous implementation of similar ideas andpractices. This study also illustrates how members can use their association to institutionalize a new discourse on marketing and network with other actors to enhance the use and reputation of its ideas and practices.Practical implications – By highlighting the importance of analyzing both internal and external organizational relations, this study contributes to the research on history of marketing by making salient the importance of an institutional perspective to understand key processes in marketing. In practice neitherthe institutional perspective nor the explanatory power of discourse has received much attention, therefore the study results should be both interesting and valid for practitioners as well.Originality/value – The study of the historical development of international advertising is limited and often descriptive. This study contributes to the literature by using a theoretical and methodological approach to make salient how the interaction between discourse, marketing associations and other collective actors propelled the institutionalization of international advertising within a specific national context.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Purpose – To analyze the Swedish Advertisers’ Association role in the institutional development ofSwedish export promotion 1955-1972.Methodology/approach – Qualitative method, business interest organization theory, advertisingconcepts related to the historical development of marketing.Findings – Thanks to bottoms-up engagement of members in the mid-1950s, leading to the formationof the knowledge-exchange committee for members of the association (the E-group), the associationbecame crucial in enabling Swedish companies getting access to marketing resources when competingon foreign markets, as well as becoming a key player in supporting the collective export promotionefforts of the Swedish government. The E-Group increased member participation and knowledgeexchange among members, supporting professionalization and legitimacy of advertising practices.Limitations/implications – While based on a national case, the study illustrates how marketingassociations act in an institutional system, while being challenged by member demands to supplythem with adequate resources, highlighting the importance of analyzing both the collectiveorganizations and the political system they are part of to understand the historical development ofmarketing.Originality/ value – The history of export promotion and export advertising is not well studied on aninstitutional level. This study furthers knowledge of this significant aspect of marketing history aswell as the history of political economy, making salient the interaction between the state andorganized business interests in a key aspect of a national economy. This should interest the fields ofmarketing history as well as, business studies, economics and political science.Keywords – Advertising history, business history, export promotion, business associationClassification – Research paper
