    New steering methods in regional policy: transforming the alliance of  ‘state feminism’2012Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 35, nr 3, s. 166-172Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    In this article, the theory of ‘state feminism’ is applied on the area of regional development policy, supplementing existing research about state–citizen relationships in northern and southern Europe. Based on Swedish data, it is argued that the former alliance between the women's movement and the welfare state has been transformed as a result of new steering methods in regional development policy in a way that is best understood as a paradox. This paradox includes both stronger and weaker relations. The public support to Women Resource Centres (WRCs) in Sweden is used as an example of ‘state feminism’. The ability of the WRCs to affect policy has changed over time, however, due to the adoption of new steering methods based on networks and market-orientation in Swedish regional development policy. The conclusions induce further development of ‘state feminism’ theory, making it more up-to-date with the prevalent interaction between women's movements and European welfare states.

    An economy of protection: agency, responsibility and the criminalization of HIV2018Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 69, s. 171-179Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This article analyzes the protection logic that legitimizes criminalization and investigates how this logic affects gender and state-citizen relations. Viewing criminalization as a political response to the challenge HIV poses to the post-Cold War security state, the article examines the intersection between protection as a pretext for controlling vulnerable groups and criminalization as a way to withdraw protection. The article analyzes the constructions of those in need of protection (referents) and the providers of protection according to HIV-specific state laws and media reports of arrests and prosecutions, and it shows that the requirements for being considered worthy of protection are highly gendered. The article argues that laws and the media construct the idea that a popular demand for protection exists and that criminalization practices are produced as the supply needed to meet this demand.

    Feeding children and protecting women: The emergence of breastfeeding as an international concern2009Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 32, nr 3, s. 240-248Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This article examines the emergence and development of breastfeeding as an international concern, focusing on its basis of legitimization and what discourse it (re)produces regarding breastfeeding and gender relations. Using official documents, such as conventions and declarations from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) that are often prepared in cooperation with the UNICEF, the article seeks to answer how policies are legitimized and how gender is construed. The study shows that discourse develops towards stressing medical arguments and individual behavior. This development is crucial for the construction of breastfeeding as a universal practice. Further, the idea of protection of mothers/women is found to be a key to understanding the discourse. An important feature of the article is how breastfeeding policies facilitate constructions of hierarchy among nations framed in terms of the ability to protect women and children.

    Opposition to gender quotas in Sweden and Spain: Debates about gender equality in the film industry2022Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 93, artikkel-id 102599Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This article analyses how gender quotas in film policy are debated in the Spanish and Swedish film industries. By analysing public records, media material and interviews with industry stakeholders, four categories of arguments are found: (1) Arguments for quotas, articulating the problems women face in the industry; (2) Arguments against quotas related to the specificities of the industry; (3) Arguments for and against quotas which refer to women's shortcomings, and; (4) Arguments problematising quotas by feminists who want more transformative reforms. While policies are designed differently and have different conceptualisations of gender, arguments discussing quotas are similar in both countries. Gender equality policies in both countries seem unable to change the male norm in the industry. Arguments put forth by opponents tend to point to women's lack of talent and how quotas will jeopardise the industry, whereas feminist arguments problematising quotas point at the limitations of the reforms to seriously question structural inequalities.

    Militarized nationalism as a platform for feminist mobilization? The case of the Burmese women's movement2019Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 76, artikkel-id 102263Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Feminist scholars have convincingly demonstrated how militarism and nationalism rely on the (re)production of gendered hierarchies. As a result, feminism is often assumed to be at odds with these political projects. In this article, we demonstrate that this is not always and not necessarily the case: in contrast, militarized nationalism may even constitute fertile ground for the mobilization of feminist organization and activism. We make this argument drawing on an in-depth case study of the emergence and evolution of an exiled Burmese women's movement from within armed ethno-nationalist struggles in the borderlands of Myanmar. Drawing on interviews with women activists, we examine when and how militarized nationalism can provide a space from which feminist agendas can be articulated and successfully pursued. This case demonstrates that militarized nationalism does not only have the potential to mobilize women's participation, but can provide a platform for feminist organization and activism that transcends, challenges, and eventually reshapes militarized nationalist projects in ways that advance women's rights and equality. These findings call into question generalized assumptions about the conflictual relationship between feminism, militarism and nationalism, and contributes to advance feminist debates about women's mobilization in contexts of armed conflicts and nationalist struggles.

    Fifty shades of freedom: Voluntary childlessness as women's ultimate liberation2015Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 53, s. 182-191Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Freedom is an often mentioned motive for remaining childfree. However, there is a lack of systematicapproaches attempting to disentangle the situated meaning of freedom in voluntary childlesswomen's lives. This article draws on qualitative semi-structured interviews with 21 Swedishchildfree women in order to further research how they understand and define freedom. Theanalysis identifies two different discourses of freedom relevant for the construction of thechildfree position. The first discourse includes positive experiences of freedom aspects thatthe childfree women enjoyed in their everyday lives. This discourse also defines freedom aspart of a deep-rooted identity that also involves other life choices, besides rejecting mother-hood. The second discourse comprises negativeopinions about children as risk, motherhoodas time-consuming and parents as“trapped”. The article contextualizes these discourseswithin the contemporary Swedish welfare society.

    Inequalities, isolation, and intersectionality: A quantitative study of honour-based violence among girls and boys in metropolitan Sweden2021Inngår i: Women's Studies: International Forum, ISSN 0277-5395, E-ISSN 1879-243X, Vol. 88, artikkel-id 102518Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    The paper examines the prevalence and patterns of honour-based violence and oppression by documenting and analysing self-reported experiences among youth in contemporary metropolitan Sweden. The material is gathered via three surveys of 15-year-olds in metropolitan Sweden (N6002). The analysis draws on feminist intersectional violence studies and situates honour-based violence at the intersections of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. It develops the concepts of isolation and mobility within and between groups at family, community, and societal levels.

    The paper finds higher levels of multiple forms of violence and control, including physical, psychological and sexual violence, among youth who live with honour norms. The prevalence of violence is higher with each of the forms of isolation explored in the paper.
