Warranty for a better world? The politics of environmental knowledge in bioeconomic sustainability certificates
Sustainability certificates are increasingly used as tools for shaping bioeconomic production processes and trade. However, their specific effects are subjected to debate. A multitude of certificate schemes and standards are currently in use, defining and measuring sustainability in the bioeconomy in highly varying ways. Different representations of environmental effects, resulting from the use of different standards or scientific methods in cert…
Law Abiding Citizens: On Popular Support for the Illegal Killing of Wolves
Conflicts over wolf management are a stable feature of Norwegian public debate. In some segments of the population, nature management, and especially predator management, have a very low legitimacy. A strong expression of these controversies is the illegal killing of wolves, a practice sufficiently extensive to impact wolf population size. In several studies, the killing of wolves is interpreted as politically motivated resistance/crime of dissen…
Hunters who will not report illegal wolf killing: Self-policing or resistance with political overtones
Illegal killing of wildlife is challenging conservation efforts worldwide. Ecological research has shown that illegal killing is severely affecting the transboundary Swedish-Norwegian wolf population. A previous study indicated that unwillingness to report illegal killing of wolves among Swedish hunters contains an element of protest against perceived unjust treatment of hunting and hunters but that it could also simply be a reflection of ineffec…
The Political Dimensions of Illegal Wolf Hunting: Anti-Elitism, Lack of Trust in Institutions and Acceptance of Illegal Wolf Killing among Norwegian Hunters
Qualitative studies have indicated that the illegal killing of wolves is often attributed a protest dimension. However, we have limited knowledge about the factors that impact this judgement. The present study investigates views on illegal wolf killing among Norwegian hunters and connects these views to background factors, hunting cultures, anti-elitism and the legitimacy of environmental institutions, probing the existence of a 'counterpublic' w…
The Persistence of an Economic Paradigm: Unintended Consequences in Norwegian Wolf Management
Most conservation conflicts have "material cores" in the sense that interests tied to economically motivated landscape transformation are pitted against conservation. These aspects of the conflict resemble issues that are regularly handled within established political and bureaucratic contexts, such as those regulating the interaction between the state and the agricultural sector. Mitigation efforts normally target such conflict issues, which can…
Locating Human-Wildlife Interactions: Landscape Constructions and Responses to Large Carnivore Conservation in India and Norway
People's reactions to large carnivores take many forms, ranging from support and coexistence to resistance and conflict. While these reactions are the outcome of many different factors, in this paper we specifically explore the link between social constructions of landscapes and divergent responses to large carnivore presence. We compare case studies from four different landscapes shared by people and large carnivores, in India and Norway. We use…
Property and Possession: Hunting Tourism and the Morality of Landownership in Rural Norway
As forest areas have become increasingly relevant to the public as recreational landscapes, and outdoor recreation is increasingly diverse and specialized, we explore how notions of property and issues of public access are made relevant in controversies over hunting rights in Norway. Focusing on responses of local hunters to landowners’ recent promotion of hunting tourism, one central finding is that the hunters tend to engage with the hunting gr…

When the lads go hunting: The 'Hammertown mechanism' and the conflict over wolves in Norway
Rural communities are changing. Depopulation and unemployment is accompanied by the advance of new perspectives on nature, where protection trumps resource extraction. These developments are perceived as threatening by rural working-class people with close ties to traditional land use - a situation they often meet with cultural resistance. Cultural resistance is not necessarily launched against institutionalized power, nor does it necessarily imp…
Social representations of the wolf
Restoring species to their former range has become a major goal in official environmental policy. Under strict protection, the expansion of a new wolf population has been taking place on the Scandinavian Peninsula since the late 1980s, leading to much controvery in rural areas. Most research on conflicts concerning wolves has taken antagonistic attitudes as a point of departure. In this article we question such an approach. Taking social represen…

Selective Identification, Quiet Distancing: Understanding the Working-Class Response to the Nordic Daycare Model
In Norway, our empirical case, enrolment of children under three years old in formal daycare has increased rapidly during the last 5–6 years, especially among the working class. This has happened despite working-class parents' traditional reluctance to use such childcare services for the youngest children. As a pedagogical project, formal daycare mirrors middle-class cultural traits that seem to clash with traditional working-class notions about …

Cry Wolf: Narratives of Wolf Recovery in France and Norway
A bstract Due to strict protection through the last decades, wolves have returned to many areas from which they have been absent for a long time. This is a conservation success story, but the wolves also cause conflicts wherever they arrive. We have studied the situation in southeastern Norway and in the French Alps, where the conflict patterns are similar. Diverging interpretations of the situation are supported by narratives, and two varieties …
Reflexive tradition: Young working–class hunters between wolves and modernity
This article is based on a qualitative study of young working–class men who are dedicated hunters and hardcore wolf adversaries. Our aim is to make sense of their attitudes and practices regarding the re–appearance of wolves. They see the wolves as impeding their life projects: being hunters and outdoorsmen. Therefore, we discuss attitude formation in the light of theories of identity, paying special attention to the idea that identity formation …
Wolves in Context: Using Survey Data to Situate Attitudes Within a Wider Cultural Framework
Studies of public attitudes toward wolves tend to be descriptive in nature, and few sophisticated analyses of complex attitude patterns have been conducted. Drawing on findings from qualitative studies, the present study analyzed nationally representative survey data from Norway in order to probe the relationships between attitudes toward wolves and such factors as education, urban/rural place of residence, cultural capital, and various value ori…
Wolves and eco-power. A French-Norwegian analysis of the narratives on the return of large carnivores
The reappearance of wolves has led to conflicts in many rural areas. This paper focuses on South-Eastern Norway and the French Alps, where the conflict patterns are similar. Diverging interpretations of the situation are supported by narratives that are shared to varying degrees among those who occupy different positions within what we might term the « wolf field ». Among tliese narratives there are two varieties in both Norway and France that ca…
Loups et éco-pouvoir. Une analyse franco-norvégienne des récits sur le retour des grands prédateurs
Le retour des loups s'est accompagné de conflits dans de nombreuses régions rurales. Cet article porte sur le sud-est de la Norvège et sur les Alpes françaises, où ces conflits sont, dans leurs grandes lignes, similaires. Des récits, diversement partagés par des personnes qui occupent des positions variées dans ce que l'on peut appeler le « champ du loup », véhiculent des interprétations divergentes de la situation. Certains de ces récits, qui co…
People and Wildlife: Conflict or Coexistence?
Human-wildlife conflict is a major issue in conservation. As people encroach into natural habitats, and as conservation efforts restore wildlife to areas where they may have been absent for generations, contact between people and wild animals is growing. Some species, even the beautiful and endangered, can have serious impacts on human lives and livelihoods. Tigers kill people, elephants destroy crops and African wild dogs devastate sheep herds l…
Adapting Adaptive Management to a Cultural Understanding of Land Use Conflicts
Adaptive management models are designed to include a variety of stakeholders, but they may still exclude significant groups. Drawing on two Norwegian studies of conflicts over large carnivores, one such group is identified as working-class men with strong ties to local hunting and "outdoorsman" culture. For them, the carnivore controversies are part of a conflict between dominant and subordinate cultural forms and bodies of knowledge. Representin…
A Wolf at the Gate: The Anti-Carnivore Alliance and the Symbolic Construction of Community
Controversies over the return of large carnivores (e.g. wolves) are often interpreted as clashes between rural traditionalism and urban modernity. Rural communities, however, have never been culturally monolithic, and modernization increases their diversity. However, the popular image is one of rural communities united against vermin and urban romantics. An important reason for this is probably the successful construction of the anti-carnivore fr…
Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf? Young People's Responses to the Conflicts Over Large Carnivores in Eastern Norway
Controversies over large carnivores are often interpreted as clashes between rural traditionalism and urban modernity. Rural communities, however, have never been culturally monolithic, and modernization will increase the diversity. To probe such diverse and changing attitudes towards nature, I conducted a qualitative study of young people in a rural community in eastern Norway. Contrary to popular images of such communities as unified against “p…
Environmentalism among Norwegian Youth: Different Paths to Attitudes and Action
Based on a survey of three cohorts of youth in Oslo, aged 14-16 (N 5 11 425), the relevance of gender, class, cultural capital and political orientation to developing a pro-environmental orientation and joining an environmental organization was analysed. Cultural capital appeared to be of importance for developing strong environmental concern as well as for joining an environmental organization, while traditional measures of class background were…
Another Look at Culture and Nature: How Culture Patterns Influence Environmental Orientation among Norwegian Youth
To what extent are young people's attitudes toward environmental issues part of broader culture patterns? Based on a survey of 3,810 Norwegian young people aged 15-22, four culture profiles were identified through factor analysis. Environmental orientation was measured by means of the New Ecological Paradigm scale, the importance ascribed to sustained economic growth and to fighting pollution, and membership in environmental organizations. Differ…

Young Environmentalists: Post-Modern Identities or Middle-Class Culture
The dominance of certain fractions of the 'new middle class' within the environmental movement seems beyond dispute. As regards youth, on the other hand, involvement in 'new social movements' is often interpreted as part of identity-formation processes typical of the 'postmodern' era, where class background allegedly do not have the same impact as before. However, the latter position seems somewhat lacking in empirical foundation. A study of 5,62…

Delinquency in the wilderness: Patterns of outdoor recreation activities and conduct problems in the general adolescent population
Based on a sample of 5412 Norwegian adolescents, this study identified two patterns of outdoor recreation activities. These patterns were differently related to three patterns of conduct problems that emerged in the same sample. Negative associations were found between an outdoor recreation pattern labelled ‘exercise/appreciation’ and the conduct problem patterns, whereas the associations between a pattern labelled ‘adventurous’ and the conduct p…
