Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the present text, we introduce a classification scheme where we decompose democracies and autocracies into several categories. Based on this classification scheme, we create a global dataset covering the time period 1800–2016. In the dataset, we make yearly observations for all countries that have been independent at any point in time since the Second World War. Regarding democracies, we first distinguish between republics and monarchies. We then split the category of republics into presidential, semi-presidential, and parliamentary systems. Within the category of monarchies, almost all systems are parliamentary, but a few countries are conferred to the category semi-monarchies. Authors differ markedly in terms of how autocratic regimes should be classified. In the present dataset, we classify autocratic countries into the following main categories: absolute monarchy, military rule, party-based rule, personalist rule, and oligarchy. Within the categories party-based rule and oligarchy, we also identify a number of subcategories.

Past and Future Embedded in the Present : A Cultural History of a Local Shopping Street
- 2018
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Most of the literature accumulated around retail change derive a linear, progressive understanding, typically coined with the term “retail evolution”. Once it is formulated as such, a need for adopting a historical perspective to study present becomes superfluous, because the past is understood as something that is left behind, something incapable of making an impact on the present. In this research, taking a local shopping street, it is showed that present is an assemblage of different material and sensorial layers of past and imagined futures, and the street’s retail history has had a fluctuating, non-linear, circular and accumulative character. Likewise, it has been in dynamic relationship with cultural manifestations of consumers, and also their shopping performances. Södergatan is the main shopping street of the stigmatized district Söder in Helsingborg, a middle-size city in south Sweden. Söder was established as a working-class district in the mid 19th century, and thereby Södergatan functioned as a retail geography primarily serving the needs of the working-class families living in the area. Starting from the1910s, gradually, more modern retail formats, such as department stores, supermarkets, and national and international chain stores made an entrance, which enabled novel ways of shopping. After the 1980s, along with global trends, independent retailers and service stores expanded in the retail geography once again, this time it was transcultural migrant entrepreneurs who run the retail places. Finally, in the last couple of years, a number of new construction and renovation projects have been initiated in Söder, including a high-class hotel, a bohemian art gallery, and renovation of the old local shopping mall to upscale experience and residential center, which facilitated multiple future scenarios.The study is based on analysis of written and visual historical documents, and visual ethnographic research conducted on consumers’ shopping performances on the street.

Second-hand values and the production of ethical urban markets
- 2015
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We are seeing today an increased interest in ethics, the environment, and social responsibility at the same time as the individual is expected, in different ways, to realize him-/herself through consumption. These interests coincide with the establishment of ethical markets for re-use and second-hand. In this paper we investigate and map out the ethical shopping spaces in Helsingborg, and how these retail spaces are co-created by consumers, retailers and city planners. Helsingborg is a regional center in the south of Sweden. Challenged by recent retail reconstruction at the global and national scale, the city’s commercial center is struggling in maintaining its position against out-of-town shopping malls and growing e-commerce. The paper aims to describe and analyse how re-use and second-hand are organised. In retail planning, re-use is a partly problematic business that generates different types of value for a place. Which values are expressed in various re-use and second-hand practices? How are these values transformed into strategies in retail planning? The paper is based on empirical data gathered in the process of producing a digital map for ‘environment-friendly’ good assortment and shops in Helsingborg, as well as a survey conducted among retailers and in-depth interviews with city planners.
