Labour rights as human rights? : trajectories in the global governance of migration
- 2015. - 1
-
In: Migration, precarity, and global governance. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 9780198728863 ; , s. 223-244
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter Branka Likić-Brborić addresses the emerging global governance of migration. She scrutinizes the structuring of human and labour rights discourses and contingencies for their institutionalisation and implementation by discussing their prospects for the promotion of global social justice. Issues of accountability and contingencies for the implementation of labour and human rights as migrants’ rights are discussed in the wider context of the existing global governance architecture. The chapter questions assumptions that setting up a workable model for codification and institutionalisation of labour standards, human rights and migrants’ rights could be left to a currently asymmetric global governance regime or to a variety of codes of corporate social responsibility. Global and regional trade union confederations and other civil society organizations have an essential role in repositioning a rights-based approach to migration, labour standards and development onto the terrain of a just globalisation.

Democracy and Populism: Testing a Contentious Relationship
- 2019
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The phenomenon of populism and its relationship with modern democracy has gained considerable attention in recent years. This paper aims at advancing our understanding of how populism affects different models of democracy and tests the proposed arguments empirically. Building on the large scholarly literature on populism and democracy, we take stock of existing arguments and theorize which democratic models may be affected by populism in a positive or a negative way. Moreover, we move beyond the normative debate and analyse the effect of populism in power on different models of democracy empirically. We do so by merging data on populist governments in Europe and Latin America from the 1995 until today with the Varieties of Democracy data set, which enables us to capture the relationship between populism and different democratic models in these regions.

Addressing social sustainability for small-scale fisheries in Sweden : Institutional barriers for implementing the small-scale fisheries guidelines.
- 2017
-
In: The Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines. - Berlin : Springer. - 9783319550732 - 9783319550749 ; , s. 717-736
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Swedish coastal fisheries are not sustainable in terms of the status of their main fish stocks, their economic profitability, and as source of regular employment. Social sustainability commitments in fisheries governance advocated by the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines) have been so far mostly neglected. In this chapter, we bring attention to two institutional settings at different governance levels relevant for the implementation of the SSF Guidelines in the Swedish context. First, we look at the introduction of social goals under the perspective of the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Second, we consider national tensions between forces advocating or opposing a further application of market-based economic instruments, often portrayed as an effective cure for all ills, in fisheries governance. Taking into account the logic on which the SSF Guidelines rest, we evaluate in both cases current processes for stakeholder participation in the formulation of fishing policies and strategies in Sweden. We conclude that the inclusion of a social dimension and stakeholder involvement at the EU level face procedural and institutional limitations that prevent the small-scale fisheries sector from exploiting opportunities for change. Further challenges to the implementation of the SSF Guidelines arise when central national authorities’ interpretation of societal benefits opposes other interpretations, and consequently economic calculations take precedence over a participatory process-based, knowledge-accumulating approach to resource management. The SSF Guidelines, therefore, provide important material and intellectual resources to make the most of new chances that can lead to an increased likelihood of change in the direction of sustainable coastal fisheries in Sweden.

Sprickor i fasaden
- 2018
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Det råder på sina håll en oro och ett mörker i dagens Sverige. Några grupper ser en värld av kollapsande system och spruckna fasader, där folkvalda fattar beslut som utarmar människors trygghet och livsvillkor. Andra ser hur antide-mokratiska krafter, likt början av förra seklet, växer sig allt större och på sina håll ges legitimitet av världsledare. Somliga går så långt som att tala om en demokrati i kris, om obönhörligt växande sprickbildningar i samhällsbygget i spåren av vilka otrygghetens och rädslans landskap breder ut sig. Sprickor i fasaden knyter an till denna rådande debatt och föreställningar om samhällets tillstånd.Världen som vi en gång kände den tycks långsamt glida ur våra händer. Den välputsade fasaden spricker. Eller gör den det? Kanske skiftar samhällets palett i långt fler nyanser än mörkaste grått? Kanske spirar det rent av en värld med allt godare möjligheter för människor att leva och utvecklas? För i kontrast till bilden av samhällets rämnande grundvalar, kan också skymtas skiftningar i värdegrunden i riktning mot ökad tolerans, öppenhet och jämlikhet. Måhända är dessa skiftningar tecken på sprickor också i föreställningen om den spruck-na fasaden? Sprickor i fasaden är den 72:e forskarantologin från SOM-institutet och bygger på 2017 års nationella SOM-undersökning – den trettioandra i ordningen. Bokens innehåll knyter på många sätt an till frågan om sprickor i det svenska samhällsbygget. Flera kapitel belyser tilltagande polarisering och politisering inom (S)amhälle, (O)pinion och (M)edier. Samtidigt pekar resultaten i andra kapitel på en påtaglig stabilitet och förstärkt uppslutning kring centrala värde-ringar, samhällsfrågor och samhällsinstitutioner.Sprickor i fasaden är skriven av ett 30-tal forskare från olika discipliner vid universitet och högskolor i Sverige.

Sweden and the issue of NATO membership: exploring a public opinion paradox
- 2019
-
In: Defence Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1470-2436 .- 1743-9698. ; 19:1, s. 1-18
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The past decade has seen substantial shifts in Swedish security policy and major change in the domestic debate about NATO. For the first time, all of the right-of-centre “alliance parties” are calling for a full NATO membership, and popular support for NATO has increased. Yet public opinion contains ambiguities and paradoxes that complicate the picture. At the same time as support for NATO has increased, the public is overwhelmingly for continued military non-alignment. Drawing on previous research, longitudinal data from national surveys, and other sources on defence and security issues, this article aims to increase our understanding of the development and change in Swedish public opinion on NATO. A key argument is that Erving Goffman’s theatre metaphor, combined with neo-institutional decoupling theory, to a large degree can help understand the public opinion paradox.

Ecology and sociotechnical systems research – motivations for theoretical and methodological integration across fields

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Currently, we are witnessing a number of global trends that do not promise well for the future. Accelerating climate change, loss of biodiversity, chemical pollution, disappearance of natural forest and degradation of fishing grounds and agricultural lands are just a few of the serious environmental problems that threaten the functional and structural integrity of ecosystems, to an extent that also human societies risk collapse. The scale of human impact is now such that scholars suggest that we live in the Anthropocene. The trends are driven by several linked factors, which are not easily disentangled into manageable specific problems to be solved by specific policies. More than ever, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations are needed in order to address these urgent challenges. The objective of this paper is to argue for the importance of research on socio-technical-ecological systems (STES) rather than social-ecological (SES) and sociotechnical systems (STS) separately. Hence, we address researchers in both the social-ecological and sociotechnical fields. We organize the argument around six reasons why “technology” should be integrated into SES studies. We call these reasons: (1) the interface and mediation aspect, (2) ambivalence, (3) the agency aspect, (4) the question of scale, (5) the question of governance and politics, and (6) the question of epistemology and framing. We also highlight potential conceptual conflicts and mistranslations. Our discussion is primarily a theoretical argument, exemplified with empirical examples.Among the conceptual challenges, we note that SES scholars, if they consider technology in their analyses, generally treat it as an exogenous factor or as a passive background element. Similarly, STS scholars tend to neglect ecological dynamics and refer to the ecological domain mainly in terms of inputs and outputs, e.g. natural resources, environmental and health problems caused by human activities. In light of the discussion, we conclude that the importance of collaborating across the two fields goes beyond each field adding pieces together. We argue that integration and translation across these domains will lead to qualitative change in the theoretical and methodological approaches of both fields; and that technology, society and ecology should be given symmetric analytical attention.
