Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- China needs a substantial growth of modern-sector employment to absorb its huge supply of underemployed people and new labor market entrants. The present crisis with its massive layoffs of workers makes the issue even more pressing. Although the government has announced large public investments to deal with the business cycle downturn, less attention has been paid to the structural aspects of Chinese underemployment. One exception is the recent emphasis of technology development. However, Science and technology (S&T) can have both positive and negative effects on employment. Using information from a large sample of manufacturing firms in China between 1996 and 2004, we analyze how S&T affects employment. Our results suggest that S&T does not promote employment growth.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ett aktuellt ämne i den allmäna debatten är den bolagisering som sker bl.a. av statliga och kommunla organisationer. Bolagiseringsprocessen startade under början av 1980-talet i det svenska näringslivet. Bolagisering brukar sättas i samband med en ytterligare decentralisering som inleddes med att funktionsorganisationer ombildades till divisioner. Bolagiseringen skedde i ett flertal av de svenska storföretagen och innebar att divisioner eller andra avskiljbara företagsdelar ombildades till bolag (Holmberg, 1990).

Redovisningsmått vid bolagisering : utformning och effekter
- 1994
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Professor Lars Östman har tidigare i boken Styrning med redovisningsmått, EFI 1977, i en empirisk studie undersökt ekonomiska styrsystem i större divisionaliserade företag. Östman kartlade inställningen bland ledande personer i divisioner som hade ett resultatansvar utan några egentliga krav på finansiella aktiviteter samt hur de arbetade med styrsystemen. Sedan dess har nya typer av organisationsstrukturer växt fram. I Sverige har ett flertal svenska storföretag bolagiserats under 1980-talet, samtidigt som styrsystemen har anpassats. Bolagisering brukar sättas i samband med en ytterligare decentralisering av divisioner. Då denna studie kan betraktas som en fortsättning av Östmans arbete, har det ansetts naturligt att utgå från Östmans beteendeinriktade synsätt för att komplettera tidigare studier med de nya typerna av ansvar och hur dessa upplevs inom bolagiserade storföretag. Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka bolagiserade koncerners ekonomiska styrsystem och vilka effekter olika redovisningsmått har givit upphov till. Undersökningen avser perioden 1986-1989 och utfördes inom fyra koncerner: Alfa-Laval AB, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Sandvik AB och Stora Kopparbergs Bergslag AB. Undersökningen visar bl a aktörernas inställning till vissa redovisningsmått och vilka åtgärder som de bolagiserade enheterna vidtagit med anledning av styrsystemens utformning. En slutsats är att den gängse föreställningen om att ansvaret skall begränsas till det påverkbara inte skall uppfattas som helt allmängiltig. I situationer som de i avhandlingen studerade kan ett vidare formellt ansvar leda till positiva effekter utan att några direkt negativa effekter uppstår. Studien har genomförts som en praktikfallsstudie med intervjuer som den dominerande datainsamlingsmetoden. I boken redovisas ett relativt stort empiriskt material som kan vara användbart för bedömning av tänkbara effekter vid förändringar av ekonomiska styrsystem. Boken kan vara av intresse för såväl praktiker som teoretiker och kan närmast betraktas som en given referens inom ämnesområdet bolagisering.

CBL and living labs: towards a methodology for teaching sustainability transitions in urban planning education
- 2024
-
In: Journal of geography in higher education. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0309-8265 .- 1466-1845.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article looks at a challenge-based learning (CBL) approach that aims to engage students in sustainable transitions within urban and regional planning. Drawing on CBL, we focus on how living labs – the idea of using a city as a site for user-driven innovation and development – can be used as a site and methodology in education and research on planning for sustainability. The paper presents insight from teaching planning master’s students and a living lab initiative in Linköping, Sweden. We aim to contribute to research on how to teach sustainable transitions within urban and regional planning by focusing on CBL and propose a methodology using a challenge-driven living lab aimed at supporting sustainable transformation learning. We mean that educational engagement with living lab approaches can be both a study tool and potentially an arena for change. Our experiences from teaching a living lab exercise illustrate the value of working with challenge based-learning approaches and “real-life” challenges, the added value from projects consisting of various actors including external groups, and the need for constructive peer-based and student-led learning. We suggest that a challenge-driven living lab methodology can be useful in teaching sustainable transformation in Geography and Planning and have wider implications.

Eko Marina III - inventering, kartläggning och miljömärkning av Sveriges fritidsbåtshamnar
- 2021
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Eko Marina ett projekt i tre delar som påbörjades i oktober 2019. “Eko Marina I” startades som ett pilotprojekt med syfte att undersöka om ett miljömärkningssystem skulle kunna vara ett användbart verktyg för att få fritidsbåtshamnar att minska sin negativa miljöpåverkan. Som en del av Eko Marina I presenterades även ett första förslag på ett miljöindex (index 1.0) att basera en eventuell miljömärkning på. “Eko Marina II” fortsatte bygga på grunden till en miljömärkning genom att vidareutveckla indexet (index 2.0), presentera de förväntade positiva effekterna av användningen av en indexbaserad miljömärkning samt formulera ett första förslag till affärsmodell och format för miljömärkningen. Denna rapport redovisar arbetet i Eko Marina III, vilket syftat till att vidareutveckla prototypen samt affärsmodellen för en digital stödplattform och miljömärkning i ett app-format. Eko Marina III omfattar även en nationell inventering av Sveriges fritidsbåtshamnar, en kartläggning av fritidsbåtshamnars organisation, infrastruktur, närliggande aktörer, inställningen till en miljömärkning samt en utvärdering av vilka incitament som finns för fritidsbåtshamnar i omställningen till ett hållbart båtliv. Projektgruppen har bestått av personer med bred kompetens inom bland annat tillsynsarbete, juridik, drift av hamnverksamhet, marin ekologi, marin geologi samt utvecklande av miljöcertifiering inom sjöfartsområdet.

Soli, Sanguinis and Sinking States. The legal foundations of upholdning the right to nationality in the event of climate change turning sovereign territories uninhabitable
- 2021
-
In: Magisteruppsatser, GUPEA. ; 2021:71
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The argument of this paper is that the two main principles of nationality law used by nation states are not designed to handle the hypothetical scenario of states sinking due to climate change. With the consequence of its habitants having to seek haven elsewhere, the focus is to illustrate how the application of the principles ius soli and ius sanguinis stand in relation to the universal human right to a nationality in the event of a state becoming uninhabitable and/or physically extinct. The aim is to highlight the flaws inherent in the reading of the principles due to a neglect both of the complex intertwining of the nation states and human rights and due to an understanding of territory as spatially relative. Such aim originates from the notion that the international legal order ought to become more well-adapted to the climate changes ahead for the universal legal rights to remain purposive. Since the principles are established as customary law within the international community, a number of case studies such as the Bikini Atoll and the Swedish Alien Act are presented in order to describe their practical (in)applicability.

The art studio as archive : tracing the geography of artistic potentiality, progress and production
- 2013
-
In: Cultural Geographies. - : SAGE Publications. - 1474-4740 .- 1477-0881. ; 21:3, s. 505-514
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Despite artistic practices, sites and modes of production and expression being in constant flux, and artistic production being of fragmented and temporal, often precarious status, this article emphasizes how the studio is and remains an important instrument and base of contemporary artistic performance. Based on qualitative research on contemporary visual artists’ work practices in London, this study presents accounts on how artists come to perceive but also construct the work and studio environment in which they are located; how they recognize the potential opportunities of this relation as well as how they actively react in order to practice and use such space. The artist’s studio is a space from which the alchemy of an art form cannot be completely revealed. Yet, with all its material, the studio is a space whose materialities are manifestations, documentations and traces of studio processes and visual artists’ work. The studio represents collections of clues and traces of the artists’ working lives and, for the artists, the studio is not only a space for work in progress but also for storage and creative resources. It is a space where they filter, sort, store and appropriate active actants, remnants and traces of their working lives inside the studio as well as their inspirational journeys outside. The studio is a space where objects and documents are placed as a way to mark an end to a process, but it is also a space where things originate or are reinvented – it is a space where things begin. However, in its particular set-up there is a creative limitation; there is a limiting order of the material collected that can authorize and command the future development of artistic work. There is an archival notion of the making and thinking in the modern art studio.

The geographies of knowledge in (making) artwork : The field, the art studio and the art scene
- 2010
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis is concerned with the professional knowledge processes that contemporary visual artists develop and use in their construction of art as well as of their careers. In contributing to the geographical literature on professional learning and artistic labour, the thesis explores the question of how self-employed artists generate, apply and communicate their knowledge and skills in the context of individual work projects.Drawing on London-based visual artists’ narratives and on material traces of their work processes – such as sketchbooks, collected objects and prototypes – the thesis presents artists as actors who learn through embodied but also mobile and geographically-sensitive processes.I argue that knowledge practice in the visual arts is the outcome of embodiment and individual experience, and hence that understanding practical knowledge and skills in this sphere requires us to explore the corporeal embeddedness of learners’ perception and action in their local environments. We must be alert to the various characters of artistic knowledge, involving non-cognitive, affective, haptic and emotive as well as cognitive, rational and reflective elements. Knowledge within the visual arts, in short, is multi-dimensional. The generation of artists’ knowledge, understandings and insights are suggested to be dependent and encouraged by different resources and stimuli acquired from a variety of spaces.The thesis demonstrates this multi-dimensionality by showing how artists construct their art, knowledge, careers and professional development through moving between different workspaces, and by exploring the mobile agencies that connect and separate such spaces. I argue that it is through movements – not only of artists but also of their work material – that knowledge and pieces of art emerge. In illustrating these movements, this study explores the micro-geographical knowledge sites of the field, the studio and the art scene.

The role of the art studio in contemporary artistic production
- 2013
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This paper explores the modern art studio as a central space for individual creative actions and knowledgeproduction by focusing on the methodological and productive function of London-based studios. Drawing onLondon-based visual artists’ narratives and on material traces of their work processes – such as sketchbooks,collected objects and prototypes – the article presents the art studio as a microcosm of an artist’s self-directedwork in progress, creativity, knowledge, thought and expression. It is argued that the studio offers insights into amaking and knowledge that is investigative and experimental; into the practices and skills visual artists need inorder to transform initial plans, ideas into material work. The article presents the studio as a space where oldworks, works in progress and the fruits of the artist’s research activities mingle in controlled chaos. The studio isdiscussed as a space of discovery, where collected and selected objects and research materials and experiencesresonate with each other and provoke reflection and thinking. Furthermore, in contrast, the studio is alsopresented as a space of material engagement and enchantment, a workshop, where a large part of themethodological practice is based on the recurrence of manual labour. It is a space where artists persistentlypractice their craft until practical knowledge becomes embodied skill and the physical act of making becomessecond-nature. Experimentation and creativity in the studio is seen to rely on a productive and ambiguoustension based on the knowledge practices of contemplation and elaboration, critical thinking and bodilyengagement, instruction and improvisation: the studio is a personal laboratory. In the context of the culturaleconomy as well as the individualization of the economy, this paper highlights individualized and dynamicartistic production processes and reveals how micro spaces of work and creativity are arranged to engage withexperimentation, making and knowing.
