Om kvinnorepresentation och rätten till heltid
- 2007
-
In: Kommunal ekonomi och politik. - Göteborg : Kommunforskning i Sverige. - 1402-8700. ; 11:4, s. 7-31
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Kommunernas dubbla roll som arbetsgivare och kanal för det politiska förverkligandet av sina invånares intressen gör dem till en ypperlig arena för att studera kvinnorepresentationens betydelse för kvinnors livsvillkor. Vi studerar politiska beslut att erbjuda alla kommunalt deltidsanställda heltid; beslut som framförallt gynnar kvinnor som grupp och som fattats i flera kommuner under senare år. Till skillnad från tidigare kvantitativa studier analyserar vi om kvinnorepresentation får större effekt när den innebär att kvinnor återfinns på högre, snarare än lägre, politiska poster. Våra empiriska resultat bekräftar att skillnader i förekomsten av heltidsbeslut kan hänföras till skillnader i kvinnorepresentation, men att detta samband framförallt återfinns då man ser till kvinnorepresentation på högre politiska poster.

Roads from Unemployment : Institutional Complementarities in Product and Labor Markets
- 2006
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Bringing down unemployment is a top priority for governments across the industrialized world, regardless of ideological bent. What is at issue in the political debate is not if unemployment should be combatted, but by what means. Two frequently discussed solutions to the problem of unemployment are corporatist wage bargaining and complete deregulation of all product and labor markets. This book maintains both these views are too simplistic. It shows theoretically as well as empirically that the particular configuration of institutions in a country is much more important for its employment performance than is the presence or absence of individual institutions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the study argues there is more than one road to full employment. What sets these different roads apart is mainly their distributional consequences. Based on the analysis of the employment effects of various configurations of institutions, the book also critiques the common practice of treating wage bargaining institutions as historical givens. Fighting unemployment requires an understanding not only of the effects of different labor market institutions, but also of the conditions under which certain institutions arise and remain stable. Toward this end the study develops and tests an explanation of why wage bar-gaining institutions are what they are in different countries. The main finding is that the influential view that current bargaining practices are much more the result of deep-seated historical development than of presently perceived need is considerably exaggerated.

The structure of conflict over EU chemicals policy
- 2008
-
In: European Union Politics. - London : Sage Publications. - 1465-1165 .- 1741-2757. ; 9:1, s. 31-58
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is a lively academic debate over whether political cleavages in the European Union ( EU) follow mainly territorial ( national) or non-territorial ( ideological) patterns. This article analyses the cleavages that structure the conflict over European chemicals policy, the so-called REACH system. Taking positions on this major policy as an empirical example, we test these competing theories on the nature of cleavages on environmental policy issues in the EU. We use data from an expert survey of more than 600 individuals to fulfil this aim. The results show that neither of the hypotheses is unequivocally supported. But the data indicate that cleavages based on non-territorial interests are much more important than territorial interests in explaining positions on REACH.

Who Knows Best What the People Want: Women or Men? : A Study of Political Representation in India
- 2009
-
In: Comparative Political Studies. - Thousand Oaks : Sage Publications. - 0010-4140 .- 1552-3829. ; 42:1, s. 31-55
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The notion of representation lies at the heart of liberal democratic thinking, and over the years considerable effort has gone into defining and measuring the concept. The least common denominator in the voluminous literature is that in a representative political system there should be a certain amount of attitudinal congruence between masses and elites. One much-debated strategy for obtaining a better match between elite and mass policy opinion is that of increasing the representation of women in important decision-making positions in society. Using data on nearly 5,000 elite-mass dyads within 24 Indian villages, the authors find strong support for the view that a more equal representation of women increases opinion congruence between masses and elites. The results are challenging because they show that women are not only better equipped than men to politically represent women but also that they are better at representing men—and the results are shown to apply in a variety of socioeconomic contexts.
