    Think Tanks In De-Democratizing Contexts: A Framework For Analysis2021In: Workshop on Policy Advice in De-democratizing and Undemocratic Contexts, 2021Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The last decade is marked by tendencies of de-democratization and autocratization (Lührmann & Lindberg 2019), often characterized by polarization of politics and society, by undermining facts- and expertise-based policymaking, and by decreasing transparency and accountability of political and policy processes. As part of these democratic erosion processes, civil society has also been increasingly under attack, particularly if critical of the incumbent government.

    Think tanks stand at the crossroads ofseveral ofthese tendencies, for several reasons. First, think tanks are members of civil society, and actors in this increasingly polarized political arena. Second, they are organizations that commonly contribute to policy processes with policy knowledge and expertise, which in de-democratizing and polarizing contexts appears to be increasingly troublesome. Third, think tanks are actors that traditionally claim independence beyond party and political lines in their activities. This position may be difficult to uphold in a context where governmental and specific party allegiance is of accelerating importance.

    Our research aims to bring together scholarship on de-democratization and polarization seen from the vantage point of think tanks, in an attempt to improve our understanding of the specificities of political knowledge production in the context of democratic backsliding. The context for the paper is a research project funded by the Baltic Sea Foundation on policy advice in electoral regimes. In the project we are focusing on how think tanks as knowledge producers, providers of policy advice and advocacy are relating to the broader processes of de- democratization We propose to do this through a comparison of two extreme cases of de- democratizing countries in Europe: Poland (classified by https://www.v-dem.net/en/ as electoral democracy) and Hungary (classified as electoral autocracy), both of which were downgraded from relatively high and solid democracy prior to 2010 and 2015 respectively.

    Proximity and distance: Think tanks handling the independence paradox2021In: Governance. An International Journal of Policy, Administration and Institutions, ISSN 0952-1895, E-ISSN 1468-0491, Vol. 34, no 2, p. 395-411Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The credibility of think tanks is grounded in their image as independent experts. In order to gain authority to act, think tanks must be seen as independent, but in order to exert influence and gain funding, think tanks are forced to compromise this independent image. We focus on how think tanks handle this independence paradox. How do think tanks use different resources to construct an independent image? The aim of the article is conceptual, as we develop a theoretical model of the independence paradox. This conceptual work is based on empirical analysis of attempts by think tanks in Poland and Sweden to create independence while maintaining influence. The two desirables central for think tanks, independence and influence, force them to make strategic choices about their relations with various actors. We conclude that the processes of keeping distance and arranging proximity are at the core of the independence paradox.

    Att vara eller inte vara på rätt plats: Om statushierarkier bland skådespelare2018Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The thesis Att vara eller inte vara på rätt plats – Om statushierarkier bland skådespelare is a qualitative study, conducted by me, Therése Jirek, with the purpose of investigating the status hierarchies between actors educated at the public Swedish theater universities and actors educated at private/non public/other theater schools. The study also investigates how the hierarchies affect the work, social relations and dynamics between the actors. The study also looks at the professional pride and identity in relation to this.  The information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with six Swedish actors of different age groups and with different educational backgrounds. The theoretical framework with which the information was interpreted is the theories of the field and habitus by Pierre Bourdieu. The results and analysis are presented in three different parts (chapters): Part 1 – about production and reproduction of status, part 2 – about practices that preserve status and part 3 – about professional pride and identity. The study shows that the actors status is determined for the most part by his or her educational background and if and where he or she works. The status preserving practices are largely performed through silent agreements and self-regulatory behavior. The professional title is characterized by a strong sense of pride and is often rooted deep in the personal identity.

    Nära men långt borta: Fallstudie i den mediala diskursen kring sjukdomsfallen i Järvaområdet under coronaepedimin våren 20202020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Med denna uppsats har jag undersökt nyhetskildringen av de boende i Järvaområdet i Stockholm, i samband med fallen av insjuknade och avlidna där i coronasmittan, i mitten av mars 2020. Överrepresentationen av insjuknade och avlidna just där rönte stor medial uppmärksamhet under våren. Området i fråga är sedan tidigare känt i mediala diskurser som ett utsatt och invandrartätt bostadsområde som ofta har figurerat i media med ett tydligt narrativ av social utsatthet, hög brottslighet och segregation. Jag ville undersöka om man i tre av reportageartiklarna, från två av Sveriges största nyhetstidningar, kunde ana spår av sedan tidigare etablerade mediala narrativ med diskriminerande stereotypiserande avbildningar av de boende i dessa redan rikskända så kallade utsatta förorter. Det jag fann var att det fortfarande anas spår av dessa narrativ och stereotyper, men även att det finns en medvetenhet från mediearbetares håll att skildringen historiskt sett har varit skev. Det görs försök att ge röst och skildra de boende på ett inkluderande vis och man lyckas ibland, men övergripande förekommer det fortfarande exkluderande och ihopklumpande skildringar av samt tillskrivande av stereotypa egenskaper till de boende i områdena.

    ‘’Man är ju en del av någonting som är väldigt mycket större än sig själv’’: En kvalitativ studie om fotbollssupporterskap ur kvinnors perspektiv2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this essay is to examine how female football supporters experience their social position within the supporter culture surrounding Herrallsvenskan. The focus is to present a deeper understanding of how female supporters experience the male dominated supporter culture, what experience they have of interactions within the culture and how they experience the supportership itself. The study is based on qualitative research, collected using semi-structured interviews with seven female supporters of AIK, Hammarby IF, Djurgårdens IF, Malmö FF and IFK Göteborg. Randall Collins (2004) theory of Interaction ritual chain, Yvonne Hirdmans (1988) theory of the genus system and Raewyn Connells (1999) theory of hegemonic masculinity were applied as a theoretical framework for the study. The result of the study shows that women's experience of football, but the supportership in particular, has a great impact on their identity by contributing with a sense of community and solidarity. In a supporter culture that is numerically dominated by men, the gender situationally becomes relevant for female supporters and their social position. These situations are characterized by restrictions and expressions of power by male supporters, this results in strategies that the female supporters must use to be recognised as real supporters.

    Multilevel Strategies for Political Influence: How and Why Do Domestic Civil Society Organisations Seek Political Influence at National and EU Levels?2018In: Journal of Contemporary European Research, E-ISSN 1815-347X, Vol. 14, no 2, p. 68-86Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article addresses domestic civil society organisations (CSOs) and their multilevel strategies for gaining political influence in the European Union. Drawing on a theoretical framework identifying different ‘routes’ that CSOs can take in a multilevel system of EU governance, this article analyses which routes or combination of routes CSOs take and investigates what organisational factors can explain similarities and differences among domestic CSOs’ multilevel strategies for political influence. Factors like type of organisation, organisational resources, level of activity and perceived relevance of national and EU political levels are combined. The article shows that CSOs tend to choose a combination of routes and that most of them also participate at the national level when trying to influence EU policy. The article furthermore finds that domestic CSOs seek to influence EU policies above all when they organise around issues that face potential conflicts between national and EU policies, illustrating the analytical significance of how CSOs perceive different political levels.

    Social Movements and Interest Groups Compared: How organisational type matters for explaining Swedish organisations’ advocacy strategies2019In: PArticipation and COnflict, ISSN 1972-7623, E-ISSN 2035-6609, Vol. 12, no 2, p. 353-381Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The divide between interest groups and social movement studies runs deep, but present developments call for a renewed focus on the relevance of these analytical categories. Both of these two forms of collective action relate to organisations that are assumed to follow distinctive logics and strategies for political influence. This article aims to contribute to the debates on the analytical difference between interest groups and social movements by comparing their political strategies and addressing the relevance of the typology for explaining organisations’ use of political strat-egies. The paper draws on a dataset resulting from a large survey among Swedish civil society organisations among which clear cases of interest group organisations and “old” and “new” social movement organisations (SMOs) were identified. The results show that the distinction between interest groups and social movement organisations has some analytical value when it comes to explaining the use of different types of strategies: e.g. direct lobbying and media-based and protest-based strategies. Also, the distinction between old and new SMOs is shown to be relevant because old SMOs seem to be in a way “in between” interest groups and new SMOs suggesting that social movements tend to develop over time and to become more similar to interest groups.

    Den endimensionella etnicitetens reproduktion i en kommunal strategi2016Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this essay is to investigate if Botkyrka municipalitys policy Strategi för ett interkulturellt Botkyrka (Strategy for an intercultural Botkyrka), reproduce a previously discovered discourse about swedishness, etnicity and culture as something static and one-dimensional. How they tackle the challenge to n’either homogenise nor culturaly essentialise their citizens. This is examined with the use of a social constructivist approach on the strategy. By using this approach and with the frameworks from discourse analysis and governmentality, this study shows that despite rethinking in goals and course of action, the examined material follows the previously demonstrated discourse, through their use and articulation of the investigated concepts.

    "För min egen vinning och för organisationens vinning”: En sociologisk studie av hur medarbetarsamtal kan påverka individers upplevelser av motivation, tillfredsställelse och välmående2018Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the employee interview affects the employees’ motivation, work satisfaction, psychosocial work environment and the opportunity to develop. To find out how the employees experience this, the study is of a qualitative nature. The employees’ experience of employee interviews is investigated through semi- structured interviews with consultant managers at various companies. The theoretical framework used to analyze the results is Karasek and Theorell's (1990) theory of stress in working life, Herzberg's (1993) theory of hygiene factors and motivational factors at work, and finally Maslow's (Maslow och Frager 1987) hierarchy of needs. The result shows that the employee interview increases motivation by discussing the employees result, offer support and talk about the opportunity to develop. It also leads to an improved relationship with the boss which increases the work satisfaction. The psychosocial work environment is indirectly affected, since the interview makes room to talk about the employees’ mood, the colleagues and the workplace. Development opportunities are also affected in a positive sense, as the employee can lift his or her long-term goals during the employee interview. The consultant managers in this study have a positive picture of the employee interview and believe that it is necessary to do feel good and do a good job.

    Abstract [en]

    Abstract

    This qualitative study, "Why get involved?” by Josefine Ekenstein and Erica Mogel examines what motivates the individual to engage in the voluntary organization Missing People and examine what the individual gets in reward. Based on two research questions we gathered our empirical material through semi-structured interviews and were then analyzed through the theoretical frameworks. The theories used are Gagné & Decis Self-determination theory, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory and Bourdieu’s theory of disinterested actions. The study concludes that there are both internal and external factors that primarily motivate the respondents for their involvement in Missing People. It also concludes that the respondents felt good to help others which could be seen as a form of reward.

    Suicide in Russia: A macro-sociological study2013Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This work constitutes a macro-sociological study of suicide. The empirical focus is on suicide mortality in Russia, which is among the highest in the world and has, moreover, developed in a dramatic manner over the second half of the 20th century. Suicide mortality in contemporary Russia is here placed within the context of development over a longer time period through empirical studies on 1) the general and sex- and age-specific developments in suicide over the period 1870–2007, 2) underlying dynamics of Russian suicide mortality 1956–2005 pertaining to differences between age groups, time periods, and particular generations and 3) the continuity in the aggregate-level relationship between heavy alcohol consumption and suicide mortality from late Tsarist period to post-World War II Russia. In addition, a fourth study explores an alternative to Émile Durkheim’s dominating macro-sociological perspective on suicide by making use of Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems. With the help of Luhmann’s macro-sociological perspective it is possible to consider suicide and its causes also in terms of processes at the individual level (i.e. at the level of psychic systems) in a manner that contrasts with the ‘holistic’ perspective of Durkheim. The results of the empirical studies show that Russian suicide mortality, despite its exceptionally high level and dramatic changes in the contemporary period, shares many similarities with the patterns seen in Western countries when examined over a longer time period. Societal modernization in particular seems to have contributed to the increased rate of suicide in Russia in a manner similar to what happened earlier in Western Europe. In addition, the positive relationship between heavy alcohol consumption and suicide mortality proved to be remarkably stable across the past one and a half centuries. These results were interpreted using the Luhmannian perspective on suicide developed in this work.

    Att leva med en världsomfattande pandemi: En studie om människors oro kopplat till covid-19 i Sverige2021In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 58, no 1-2, p. 103-131Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Covid-19 började som en hälsokris och växte snabbt till en omfattande samhällskris – i det privata och offentliga livet, nationellt och internationellt, lokalt och globalt. Syftet med denna artikel är att bidra med kunskap om människors oro under covid-19-pandemins första fas i Sverige. Oro studeras utifrån sociodemografiska faktorer, socialt kapital samt människors bedömningar av nationella åtgärder och potentiella hot. Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgår från begrepp och teorier om oro och socialt kapital. Data samlades in i Sverige under april–maj 2020 med hjälp av en webbaserad enkät om människors erfarenheter av covid-19-pandemin. Genom multipel regressionsanalys och multipel korrespondensanalys fann vi att graden av oro är nära kopplad till bedömningen av nationella åtgärder som felaktiga, samt till uppfattningen att själva viruset covid-19 är det största hotet (i jämförelse med ekonomiska eller sociala konsekvenser av pandemin). Dessa faktorer var även relaterade till högre ålder, kronisk sjukdom samt lågt socialt kapital. Artikeln pekar på ett behov av mer sociologisk forskning – både kvantitativ och kvalitativ – om pandemins olika konsekvenser i vardagslivet.

    The historical development of suicide mortality in Russia, 1870-20072015In: Archives of Suicide Research, ISSN 1381-1118, E-ISSN 1543-6136, Vol. 19, no 1, p. 117-130Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Russia has one of the highest suicide mortality rates in the world. This study investigates the development of Russian suicide mortality over a longer time period in order to provide a context within which the contemporary high level might be better understood. Annual sex- and age-specific suicide-mortality data for Russia for the period 1870-2007 were studied, where available. Russian suicide mortality increased 11-fold over the period. Trends in male and female suicide developed similarly, although male suicide rates were consistently much higher. From the 1990s suicide has increased in a relative sense among the young (15-34), while the high suicide mortality among middle-aged males has reduced. Changes in Russian suicide mortality over the study period may be attributable to modernisation processes.

    Age, period and cohort effects on suicide mortality in Russia, 1956-20052017In: BMC Public Health, E-ISSN 1471-2458, Vol. 17, no 1, article id 235Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Russian suicide mortality rates changed rapidly over the second half of the twentieth century. This study attempts to differentiate between underlying period and cohort effects in relation to the changes in suicide mortality in Russia between 1956 and 2005.

    METHODS: Sex- and age-specific suicide mortality data were analyzed using an age-period-cohort (APC) approach. Descriptive analyses and APC modeling with log-linear Poisson regression were performed.

    RESULTS: Strong period effects were observed for the years during and after Gorbachev's political reforms (including the anti-alcohol campaign) and for those following the break-up of the Soviet Union. After mutual adjustment, the cohort- and period-specific relative risk estimates for suicide revealed differing underlying processes. While the estimated period effects had an overall positive trend, cohort-specific developments indicated a positive trend for the male cohorts born between 1891 and 1931 and for the female cohorts born between 1891 and 1911, but a negative trend for subsequent cohorts.

    CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the specific life experiences of cohorts may be important for variations in suicide mortality across time, in addition to more immediate effects of changes in the social environment.

    Do I Qualify for a Love Relationship?: Social Norms and Long-Distance Relationships in Post-Soviet Latvia2015In: Sexuality & Culture, ISSN 1095-5143, E-ISSN 1936-4822, Vol. 19, no 2, p. 388-406Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Not all couples live together; some partners live far from each other, causing potential challenges to relationship maintenance in terms of keeping the relationship ongoing. In the present study, complications in relationship maintenance experienced by heterosexual long-distance partners in post-Soviet Latvia are analysed. The complications are examined in the light of social norms as conceptualized by Parsons and Shils (Toward a general theory of action. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 1962) in their notion of dominant value orientations. The article suggests that the norm conflicts experienced by the long-distance partners are illustrative of the value transitions in societies undergoing rapid social change, such as in Latvia. The analysis is based on 19 in-depth interviews with individuals with long-distance relationship (LDR) experience. The social norms complicating or hindering LDR maintenance were found to be generation-specific and gender-specific. The interviewees born and raised in Soviet Latvia referred to collective-oriented norms while the interviewees born in the independent neo-liberal Latvia referred to their own interests that complicated their LDR maintenance.

    I Imagine You Here Now: Relationship Maintenance Strategies in Long-Distance Intimate Relationships2015Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Today, individuals can relatively easily meet and communicate with each other over great distances due to increased mobility and advances in communication technology. This also allows intimate relationships to be maintained over large geographical distances. Despite these developments, long-distance relationships (LDRs), i.e. intimate relationships maintained over geographical distance, remain understudied. The present thesis aims to fill this knowledge gap and investigates how intimate partners who live so far away from each other that they cannot meet every day make their relationship ongoing beyond face-to-face interaction.

    Theoretically, this study departs from a symbolic interactionist viewpoint that invites us to study phenomena from the actor’s perspective. Conceptually, the thesis builds on the recent development in sociology of intimate lives that sees intimacy as a relational quality that has to be worked on to be sustained, and that focuses on the practices that make a relationship a relationship. Empirically, the thesis is based upon 19 in-depth interviews with individuals from Latvia with long-distance relationship experience.

    The thesis consists of four articles. Article I studies the context in which LDRs in Latvia are maintained, focusing on the normative constraints that complicate LDR maintenance. Article II analyses how intimacy is practiced over geographical distance. Article III examines how long-distance partners manage the experience of the time they are together and the time they are geographically apart. Article IV explores the aspect of idealization in LDRs. Overall, the thesis argues for the critical role of imagination in relationship maintenance. The relationship maintenance strategies identified within the articles are imagination-based mediated communication (creating sensual/embodied intimacy, emotional intimacy, daily intimacy and imagined individual intimacy); time-work strategies that enable long-distance partners to deal with the spatiotemporal borders of the time together and the time apart; and creating bi-directional idealization. The thesis is also one of the few works in the field of intimate lives in Eastern Europe and analyses the normative complications that long-distance partners face in their relationship maintenance in Latvia.

    Samhällsvetenskapliga perspektiv på Black Lives Matter2020In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 57, no 3-4, p. 363-379Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Sociologisk Forskning bad tre samhällsvetenskapliga forskare, verksamma i Sverige och USA, att svara på några frågor om rörelseprotesterna under parollen Black Lives Matter (BLM), antisvart rasism och dödligt polisvåld mot svarta människor. Deras svar grundar sig i egen och andras forskning inom områden som relationen mellan rasifiering och kriminalisering, postkoloniala perspektiv och kritisk kriminologi, erfarenheter av polisiär kontroll bland människor med afrikanskt ursprung i Stockholm, Malmö och New York samt sociala rörelser och politisk aktivism – särskilt olika former av antirasism.

    En av tidskriftens redaktörer, Lena Sohl, redigerade svaren till ett gemensamt samtal, där de tre forskarna kunde ändra och göra tillägg i sina egna svar. Den slutgiltiga texten färdigställdes den 10 december 2020.

    De medverkande forskarna är Jan Jämte, statsvetare och lektor i samhällskunskap vid Örebro universitet, som forskar om sociala rörelser och politisk aktivism, i synnerhet olika former av antirasism; Jasmine Kelekay, doktorand i sociologi vid University of California, Santa Barbara och gästdoktorand vid Kriminologiska institutionen, Stockholms universitet samt Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism vid Uppsala universitet, vars avhandling handlar om relationen mellan rasifiering och kriminalisering, med fokus på konstruktioner av svarthet och polisiär kontroll av svarta människor i Sverige; samt Leandro Schclarek Mulinari, doktor i kriminologi, vars forskning uppehåller sig vid skärningspunkten mellan kriminalitet och kriminalisering, i synnerhet förhållandet mellan denna skärningspunkt och frågor om rasism.

    Radical Left Movements in Scandinavia, 1980–2020: Straddling Militant Counterculture and Popular Movements2023In: The Palgrave Handbook of Left-Wing Extremism, Volume 1 / [ed] Zúquete, José Pedro, Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2023, p. 281-304Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter describes the development of radical left activism in Scandinavia in the post-war period, with a particular focus on the last four decades. During this period, the main tendency in radical left activism shifted from party-based Marxism-Leninism to network-based, direct-action activism based on libertarian socialist ideals. Combining secondary literature with original quantitative and qualitative data on the radical left-libertarian movements (RLLM) in Sweden and Denmark, this chapter shows how RLLM activism emerged, expanded, and ultimately declined between the early 1980s and late 2010s. While there are key differences between the countries in terms of timing and issue foci, the chapter emphasizes the similarities between the countries. Tracing the movements’ development through sequential phases, the chapter shows them shifting from direct-action networks that engaged in a variety of political issue—anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, feminism, animal rights, etc.—to more “conventional” networks of organizations and initiatives through which activists intervened in local politics and neighborhood and workplace conflicts. The same period also saw the RLLM become less disruptive and violent, in favor of tactical pragmatism and conventional forms of protest. The chapter explains these changes as a combination of four main processes: (1) movement-internal developments, (2) changes in the countercultural milieus surrounding the movement, (3) the political institutionalization of the movement’s main counterpart, the far right, and (4) new patterns of protest policing and state repression.

    When Do Radical Flanks Use Violence? Conditions for Violent Protest in Radical Left-Libertarian Activism in Sweden, 1997–20162023In: Terrorism and Political Violence, ISSN 0954-6553, E-ISSN 1556-1836, p. 1-20Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Descriptions of social movement factionalism are often based on the dichotomous conception of lawful moderates and violent radicals. In this article, we nuance this distinction by illustrating the complexity of radical flanks through an empirically grounded analysis of protest tactics, in which we ask under what conditions radical flanks are likely to use violent protest tactics. Exploring dominant explanations of political violence, the article shows the necessity of understanding the use of violent protest tactics as part of cognitive and relational processes. The use of violent tactics varies greatly across frames and protest issues, pointing to how different logics of protest are tied to different frames. Also, the use of violence is affected by the presence or absence of moderate allies; the likelihood of violence clearly decreases when radicals and moderates form coalitions when organising protests. The analysis is based on a protest event data set covering over 3,900 nonviolent and violent events by the Radical Left-Libertarian Movement in Sweden, 1997–2016. Notably, the results hold over this entire twenty-year period, suggesting that they are robust and provide a better explanation than historically contingent causes.

    Why Did It Not Happen Here?: The Gradual Radicalization of the Anarchist Movement in Sweden 1980–902016In: A European Youth Revolt: European Perspectives on Youth Protest and Social Movements in the 1980s / [ed] Bart van der Steen and Knud Andresen, Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016, p. 97-111Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter examines the development and role of the anarchist movement in Sweden during the 1980s. In relation to many other parts of Northern Europe – which had seen an upsurge in radical left-libertarian activism, squatting and urban unrest at the turn of the 1980s – such social movements and confrontations remained a marginal phenomenon in Sweden, at least until the end of the decade. However, by the late 1980s a new generation of younger activists, often with roots in the anarchist milieu, formed the basis for a radical squatter and autonomist movement, which proved very similar to the movements that had developed throughout Europe almost a decade earlier.

    Brief Report : Best Discriminators for Identifying Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder at an 18-Month Health Check-Up in Japan2015In: Journal of autism and developmental disorders, ISSN 0162-3257, E-ISSN 1573-3432, Vol. 45, no 12, p. 1447-1453Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    To determine the best discriminative items for identifying young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), we conducted a secondary analysis using longitudinal cohort data that included the Japanese version of the 23-item modified checklist for autism in toddlers (M-CHAT-JV). M-CHAT-JV data at 18 months of age and diagnostic information evaluated at age 3 or later from 1851 Japanese children was used to isolate six highly discriminative items. Using data from two different community samples (n = 1851, n = 665) these items were shown to have comparable psychometric values with those of the full version. Our results suggest that these items might work as a short form screener for early identification of ASD in primary care settings where there are time constraints on screening. © 2015 The Author(s)

    Singelskapet, ett privilegium eller ett misslyckande? :   En kvalitativ undersökning om unga kvinnors upplevelser av singelskap  2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study is qualitative and has been conducted using semi-structured interviews. The study aims to investigate how young single women experience being single in Sweden today. The essay examines the reasons behind singlehood, how singleness affects single women's identity, and how the couplenorm in society affects how women perceive their own singlehood. The theoretical framework consists of the concepts of stigma, individualization, and the theory of performativity. The results indicate that single women experience singlehood as freedom, but also as loneliness. The study also shows that there are several different reasons behind singlehood, for example that the women have not found the right person or because of previous couple relationships that have been destructive. Moreover, the study indicates that there are both positive and negative identities that are created by singlehood. Findings suggest that the couplenorm affects how women perceive their own singleness in generating negative ideas about singlehood and expectations that women should be in a couple relationship. This means that single women feel different from the couplenorm. Accordingly, it appears that the couplenorm is still strong despite the fact that Swedish society is characterized by individualism.

    Organisering av lojalitet: en litteraturöversikt2021Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Hur organiseras lojalitet i en individualiserad tid? I en ny satsning från Score utforskas hur värdegemenskaper skapas och upprätthålls genom organisation som kan, men inte måste, ske inom ramen för formella organisationer. Särskilt fokus läggs vid diverse elitutbildningar och företag, och deras alumninätverk. I denna rapport presenteras en preliminär litteraturöversikt med syfte att ge en första bild av inom vilka sammanhang som denna organisering av lojalitet kan ske samt hur lojalitet i denna kontext kan förstås.

    För att få grepp om studiens objekt inleds litteraturöversikten med en presentation och diskussion av hur lojalitet kan förstås teoretiskt. Därefter redogörs för hur lojalitet, värdeskapande och identitetsskapande inom olika typer av organisationer har förståtts och studerats tidigare. Utifrån satsningens fokus på medlemskap som en del av partiell organisation och därmed ett viktigt analytiskt redskap berör litteraturöversikten också huruvida tidigare forskning intresserat sig för och givit några svar på frågan om det går att organisera lojalitet efter ett avslutat medlemskap, genom så kallade alumninätverk.

    Organizing the Voice of Women: A study of the Polish and Swedish women's movements' adaptation to international structures2019Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The European Union has become an important arena for international politics. Various actors try to influence the European-level executive and legislative authorities. Lobbyists in Brussels are not the only type of actors promoting the interests of others. Today, national-level social movement actors too are present at the European level, pushing the interests of various citizen groups and social issues. To do so, however, they need to adapt to the European Union’s multilevel governance system by speaking with one voice. As this thesis demonstrates, at the national level this adaptation may entail a number of organizational challenges for movements.

    Organizing the Voice of Women regards national-level social movements adapting to international structures. Taking the cases of the Swedish and the Polish women’s movements and their relation to the European Union as examples, the analysis follows two separate, yet similar, processes of forming and maintaining nationwide meta-organizations – that is, organizations of organizations – that can speak for the two respective movements. Through the cases of the two women’s movements’ adaptation to international structures, the study explores the challenges involved when a new layer of organization is added to a social movement.

    The results show that organizing the voice of the Swedish and the Polish women’s movements has been particularly challenging when conditions such as a tradition of umbrella organizing and stable financial resources are absent at national level. The results also show that competition and conflicts are apparent in both cases and inherent in meta-organizations, and that they have been possible to deal with differently depending on the two movements’ national settings. With an organizational perspective on social movement coalitions, this study contributes to the classic question of institutionalization, formalization and bureaucratization of social movements. It ultimately asks what it means to organize a field of social movement actors and what happens at the junction of organization and social movement, at the intersection of national and international interests. A wider implication of the study is that the issues it highlights are to be expected whenever the internationalization of national movement activities takes the form of meta-organization.

    A Meta-organizational Perspective on the Europeanization of Civil Society: The Case of the Swedish Women's Lobby2015In: VOLUNTAS - International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations, ISSN 0957-8765, E-ISSN 1573-7888, Vol. 26, no 4, p. 1438-1459Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    As a consequence of European integration and the EU's expanded social policy, more citizens' interests are today organized at EU level. In the case of the women's movement, there is an umbrella organization-the European Women's Lobby (EWL)-in place in Brussels coordinating national women's movements. The EWL demands from its members that they be nationwide and representative umbrellas, which has structuring effects on the women's movements at domestic level. This article proposes to study the Europeanization of civil society through the lens of meta-organization theory (Ahrne & Brunsson 2008). Europeanization can thus be understood as a process which imposes meta-organizational structures on civil society. Through a case study of the Swedish Women's Lobby, this article analyses the consequences for the women's movement in Sweden of the meta-organizational structure brought into being by Europeanization.

    Civil Society Challengers in the European Union Gender Policy Field2021In: Sociological Knowledges for Alternative Futures, 2021Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The European Women’s Lobby (EWL) is one of the key actors in the EU gender equality policy field. Claiming to represent 2000 women’s organizations across Europe, the EWL is regularly consulted by the European Commission and the European Parliament for its “gender expertise” (Cullen 2020; Seibicke 2019; Strid 2009), being legitimized and financially supported by the Commission. However, other transnational civil society organizations representing women also organize at the EU level, including ethnic minority women, migrant women, disabled women, religious women and women within various professions. The EWL’s position has also been questioned by conservative women (Rolandsen Agustín 2012). Moreover, women’s organizations are not the only ones active in this “field of gender”; LGBTQ, human rights, SRHR organizations and others also participate, making it a diverse and contentious field. This paper investigates how the elite position of the EWL is challenged by other civil society actors and by ideological differences and contentious issues, conceptually approaching this gender field as a “field of contention” (Crossley 2006). Given that civil society organizations mainly have discursive power, the analysis focuses on how they participate in a discursive space and struggle in which they try to produce meaning and contest who the gender experts are. We explore this question through the contentious cases of transgender issues, prostitution/sex work, and how to represent such a diverse group. The analysis is based on interviews with organization representatives and experts as well as textual sources.

    Risk and protective factors for peer victimization: a 1-year follow-up study of urban American students2014In: European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, ISSN 1018-8827, E-ISSN 1435-165X, Vol. 23, no 9, p. 773-781Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examined whether internalizing problems, parental warmth and teacher support were associated with adolescents' experience of future peer victimization in school. Data were drawn from two rounds of the longitudinal Social and Health Assessment (SAHA). Study subjects comprised 593 US urban adolescents (aged 13.8 +/- A 0.8 years; 56 % female). Results showed that there was a substantial degree of continuity in peer victimization over a 1-year period. The presence of internalizing (anxiety, depressive and somatic) symptoms at baseline was associated with an increased risk of peer victimization over time. Both parental warmth and teacher support were uniquely associated with a lower risk for peer victimization. Implications of these findings for prevention efforts are discussed.

    Medias framställning av unga kvinnor i marginaliserade områden: En kritisk diskursanalys av medieporträtteringen av unga kvinnor i tre Stockholmsförorter2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Media’s representation of places and individuals shape public understanding of these places and of their residents, as well as shaping residents’ own understanding of their communities and themselves. Media discourse about marginalized areas is often male dominated and focused on violence and crime which has attracted much attention in previous research. The purpose of this dissertation has instead been to study media discourse about young women living in three marginalized suburban areas south of Stockholm. By studying which discourses about young women in these areas are (re)produced in media we can gain knowledge about the opportunities and obstacles young women face. The study is based upon a critical discourse analysis of a large empirical material of media texts, informed by theory on territorial stigmatization. The analysis has an intersectional perspective. The texts cover a wide range of topics, with three recurrent subdiscourses described: “owning one’s place”, “safety” and “otherness”. The results are in line with previous research in some respects, but also deviate in important ways. Young women in these texts are on one hand, not depicted as responsible for the problems often associated with marginalized areas, but on the other hand, are depicted as responsible for their parents’ integration.

    Protestens röster: En kvantitativ studie av utrikesfödda demonstrationsdeltagare i Sverige2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    With this paper I intend to contribute to the ongoing research on political participation through the participation of foreign-born demonstration participants in Sweden. Research on political participation of immigrants show that they generally participate less than natives. One theory is that recruitment networks and organization membership have more importance for immigrants than for natives due to higher thresholds for political participation. Research has also indicated differences in participation of immigrants depending on country of origin, such that participants from non-western repressive regimes tend to participate less than participants from western non-repressive regimes. The results of the study are based on survey data from 1748 participants in two types of demonstrations, May day marches and climate change demonstrations. Analysis led to three main findings. First, participants not born in Sweden participate less in both demonstration types than the those born in the country. Second, there are few, if any, differences between the groups in the same type of demonstration and also often between the two demonstration types when it comes to factors that favor political participation. Finally, the group not born in Sweden is not representative of the group in the population, based on country of birth.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose with this study, is to examine how consultants within the finance industry perceive their working role and their opportunities to influence their work situation. Furthermore, this study concerns whether the consultants experience any differences in how they are treated compared to permanent employees at the client company. The study has qualitative focus, where semi-structed interviews have been conducted with six consultants in the financial industry. Theoretical concepts from Herzberg (1993) and Elias and Scotson (2010) have been used to analyze the results. The result shows that the consultants in general are satisfied in their work roles, but deficiencies also became clear with reason in their form of employment as consultants. This is mainly evident in practical differences compared to permanent employees, where the consultants need to be more flexible to their colleagues and their staffing company. It also becomes clear how the consulting role is divided, where long-term missions are desirable for a better work situation. Shorter assignments often implicate that consultants get a lower autonomy in their work and faces a more socially exposed position, while longer assignments tend to lead consultants to be better integrated with the client company.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study is to examine what motivates students to work alongside their ongoing full-time studies. This study intends to clarify the factors that are motivating the students to work and how their work affects their ongoing studies. This study has a qualitative approach, where six students who are working alongside their studies have been interviewed. Theoretical perspectives from Ryan and Deci (2000) and Herzberg (1993) have been central and used to analyze the interview material. The results of this study shows that the students work alongside their studies mainly to make them more competitive in the labor market, which is a part of the external motivation. They experience an inner motivation regarding their work assignments where they get responsible task and develop, which leads to positive impact on their learning and competence. Their work affects their full-time studies by less attendance at important parts of the education and less reading of the course literature. It also affects the students mental health where they experience increased stress during hectic study periods.

    Occupy Narratives in Sweden and Latvia: How Mainstream Media tell the Story of a Movement2016In: Interactions: Studies in Communication & Culture, ISSN 1757-2681, E-ISSN 1757-269X, Vol. 7, no 1, p. 23-39Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Occupy movement, which started with a group of activists in New York, soon grew into a global movement with protesters gathering and occupying public spaces worldwide. This article provides a critical discourse analysis and examines the representation of the global as well as local expressions of the Occupy movement in Latvian and Swedish major newspapers. It shifts the lens from the financial centres to the European periphery and asks how the movement is recontextualized in Latvia and Sweden. In the analysis four main discursive strategies are identified and discussed comparatively for the two countries; nomination, predication, perspectivation and mitigation. Although the discursive strategies in both contexts are similar, the recontextualization in Latvia and Sweden reflects the distinct historical and cultural circumstance in which the mediation of the Occupy movement emerged.
