Although the first Polish research facilities on Svalbard were established back in the 1950s (by virtue of being a party to the Treaty concerning Spitsbergen) and the country has been involved in the Arctic environmental cooperation since its inception in the early 1990s, it was not until 2006/2007 when a policy shift ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-21)Inspirert av det faghistoriske skillet mellom funksjonalisme og konfliktteori introduserer og forsvarer denne artikkelen et rammeverk for en positiv sosiologi; en sosiologi om det som fungerer godt i samfunnet.

Post-Petroleum Security in a Changing Arctic: Narratives and Trajectories Towards Viable Futures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-04)In this paper we explore how post-petroleum security is continually shaped by both the micropolitical practices of everyday life as well as the changing geopolitics of energy landscapes. We focus in particular on the two-decade long struggle over access to hydrocarbon deposits outside the Lofoten, Vesterålen and Senja archipelago groups (LoVeSe), and show how local security perspectives permeate ... -
Post-Petroleum Security in Lofoten: Why Identity Matters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-26)Based on over 60 interviews and fieldwork in Lofoten, Norway, over a five-year period (2008 – 2013), this paper argues that local identity is a ‘missing link’ with significant explanatory value when analyzing the contested matter of whether to open for oil drilling in this region. Through a Giddensian approach to ontological security, we identify a major discrepancy between local and national ... -

The professional project of graphic designers and universities' visual identities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-19)Contrary to earlier research on why universities change their visual identities from traditional to more abstract ones, resting on a demand-side approach, we offer an explanation based on a supply-side approach. We argue that universities’ change of visual identities toward abstract symbols reflects a professional logic shared by graphic designers and discuss the mechanisms and institutional agents ... -
Progressive cities: Urban–rural polarisation of social values and economic development around the world
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)In contrast to the conservative values of rural populations, cities are often seen as bulwarks of more tolerant, liberal and progressive values. This urban–rural divide in values has become one of the major fault lines in Western democracies, underpinning major political events of the last decade, not least the election of Donald Trump. Yet, beyond a small number of countries, there is little ... -
Promoting and Protecting Values through Leadership Agency: Experiences from Disaggregation and Autonomisation of Waste Management
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)Disaggregation and autonomisation of public service procurement have been at the cutting edge for the last two to three decades, not least due to the importance that reform programmes inspired by New Public Management (NPM) have acquired. This development has led to widespread corporatisation and increasing emphasis on leadership and managerial freedom. In this article, we explore the role of ... -
Quota Policy and Local Fishing: Gendered Practices and Perplexities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008)In April 1989, the Norwegian fisheries authorities declared a moratorium on fishing by the Norwegian fleet for Barents Sea Cod (Gadus morhua). It subsequently introduced a multi-level boat quota system within the coastal cod fishery north of the sixty-second latitude in 1990. This paper treats the quota regime as a national manifestation of neo-liberal globalising processes. It provides a ... -

Inspired by the phenomenology of the body, feminist phenomenology and gender theory, the analysis shows how the participants ...
