Collective Corporate Power and the International Maritime Organization ( IMO )
The importance of international shipping in economic development, as well as its intersection with international security, environmental protection and other fields of global governance, has encouraged much interest in the rule‐making processes that govern the sector. While literature has often highlighted the centrality of corporate power in maritime policy processes, existing scholarship has lacked detailed accounts of how corporate power in th…
Integrated modelling and ontologies of energy futures: The decarbonisation of maritime transport
Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) represent an increasingly prominent tool in the governance of energy transitions. While scholars have often pointed to the dissonance between IAMs and the empirical realities they claim to project, studies of how integrated energy modelling interacts with the power relations of energy governance have been relatively scarce. Drawing on literature in Science and Technology Studies, this article explores how IAMs …
Practically becoming international: Expertise, Infrastructure and Classification Societies in Maritime Governance
Ocean governance is the subject of a vibrant and expanding literature in International Relations. Much of this literature has examined the role of rule-making sites in governing the seas, and the extensive role of private, commercial actors therein. While scholars point to expertise as one of the main sources of power and legitimacy for private actors in global rule-making, little scholarship has sought to explore how and why commercial actors ha…
Sources of military change: Emulation, politics, and concept development in UK defence
Judging by its doctrinal publications, the UK Defence establishment stands poised to begin a process of unprecedented change. The language of ‘multi-domain’ thinking is prominent within this discourse and is identified as being a key vehicle via which UK Defence will deliver upon its programme of reform. This article seeks to offer an initial evaluation of these claims and to assess them in light of the burgeoning literatures on Western defence ‘…
The customer is always right? Flags of convenience and the assembling of maritime affairs
The concept of 'flag of convenience' is ubiquitous in literature on maritime governance. First popularised by the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), it has served as a touchstone concept in maritime policy discourse, and as a metaphor for the interaction between state and corporate actors in both maritime affairs and the globalised economy more broadly. This article argues, however, that the conceptions of public and private as on…
The politics of future war: Civil-military relations and military doctrine in Britain
Tensions between civil and military authorities over issues such as budgets and strategic posture are unavoidable in pluralistic societies. Scholars of Civil-Military Relations (CMR) have identified a range of practices through which civil-military contestation occurs, and examined their implications for issues such as military effectiveness. This literature, however, has yet to incorporate critical approaches to knowledge into its analysis. Seek…
Sovereign control and ocean governance in the regulation of maritime private policing
In recent decades, new public-private policing assemblages everywhere have constituted new forms of authority and political order in the contemporary world. Part of a broader project exploring the politics of multilateral policing in maritime space, this article examines the complex of regulatory practices governing maritime security companies in the Western Indian Ocean. While literature on private maritime security has largely focused on the re…
Military Identities, Conventional Capability and the Politics of Nato Standardisation at the Beginning of the Second Cold War, 1970–1980
This paper uses equipment standardisation as a lens for examining power relationships and the importance of military identity in framing the development of NATO conventional capability. In the face of the Warsaw Pact's overwhelming military capacity the logic of standardisation was compelling. Standardising equipment and making military forces interoperable reduced logistics overlap, increased the tempo of operations and allowed partners to optim…
Global assemblages and counter-piracy: Public and private in maritime policing
There is wide agreement among scholars that the shift from government to governance in security has seen unprecedented levels of cooperation (and competition) between private security actors (PSAs) and law enforcement agencies in the policing of public spaces, and the formation of fluid, diverse policing assemblages. With the overriding goal of investigating how the politics of security governance vary across time and space, this article seeks to…
Good luck and you'll be welcome back’: Manual workers and study leave in Sweden
Sweden's law giving all employees the right to study leave was introduced in 1974. This article is a report of qualitative interviews carried out with 19 manual workers from five trade unions in an industrial town. Respondents had attended a wide range of academic, vocational and trade union courses in recent years. Few had experienced any problems obtaining leave from their employers. Courses lasted from three days to three years. Student financ…
Study leave in Sweden
This article investigates how well the Swedish law on Educational Leave, passed in 1974, functions. A 1994 Commission Report into different forms of employee entitlement to leave—including Study Leave—is outlined, as well as responses to its recommendations. An examination of two sources of statistical information shows that about one per cent of the work force is on study leave at any one time. Women are shown to benefit from study leave more th…
The Criminalisation of Buying Sex: The Politics of Prostitution in Sweden
While there are feminists in other countries who would like to see the buying of sex made illegal, Sweden is indeed unique for having done so. Sweden's popular form of radical feminism has shown itself to be highly effective in mobilising support and creating a broad consensus on an issue which can be very divisive. This article outlines the Swedish debate about prostitution, to find out why legislation was passed which is barely on the agenda in…

Nationalism, immigrants and attitudes towards drugs
Sweden: The Last Bastion of Social Democracy
If the crisis of welfare expenditure for many European countries occurred during the early and middle 1980s, in Sweden it came towards the end of the decade. As economic growth declined and unemployment and public sector debt increased, neither the Social Democrats nor their successors in the Bourgeois centre right coalition have found it easy to adjust to the changing world around them. The very forces, expectations and interests created by the …
Stability and Change in Welfare States: Germany and Sweden in the 1990s
This article examines recent changes in the German and Swedish welfare states and argues that, in contrast to Great Britain, welfare institutions, characteristics and structures have remained fairly robust. Despite retrenchment and some substantial cuts, a shift away from traditional welfare principles has not occurred. Indeed, it is likely that, at the start of the next millennium, social insurance will continue to be the hallmark of the ‘conser…

Sweden's Syringe Exchange Debate: Moral Panic in a Rational Society
The distribution of clean syringes to intravenous drug users has been accepted by many European countries as a necessary measure to prevent the spread of HIV. In Sweden however an official report recommending the widespread adoption of syringe exchange schemes was rejected after considerable debate in the press, at public meetings, in parliament and government. The medical consensus in favour of syringe exchange schemes was rejected by a much wid…
Opposition To Syringe Exchange Schemes in the Uk and Sweden
In 1988 official reports in England and Wales and Sweden recommended the widespread adoption of syringe exchange schemes (SES) to reduce the risk of HIV infection amongst intravenous drug users (IVDUs). The British Government accepted the recommendation and by the end of 1989 120 SES had been established in England alone. The Swedish Government did not accept the recommendation and by the end of 1989 the only schemes operating with official recog…
Social Totalitarianism: Children in care in Sweden and the British media
A number of articles in the British press have criticised the Swedish welfare state for taking a disproportionate number of children into care compared with other countries. These allegations are described and their origins investigated through an analysis of pressure group activity. Historical and comparative statistical data are presented to discover whether the allegations are justified. The author concludes that the Swedish child care rate is…
New Directions for Employment Policy
Many of the inequalities in our society result from the hierarchical divisions of labour. These can only be alleviated together with the associated problems of unemployment and de-skilling if employment policies in the future make schemes for work-sharing and improving the quality of working life, a priority. The author argues that similar schemes in the past have been viewed with suspicion as the redistribution of work and non-work envisaged was…
The Salaried Middle Class and the Welfare State in Sweden and Japan
This paper is an attempt to explore the ways in which the salaried middle class (SMC) in Sweden and in Japan, benefit from and influence social welfare policies. It is argued that in both countries members of the SMC benefit as consumers and producers of education, medical care and social security service; and that they advance their interests through corporatist institutions. Sweden’s SMC would seem to be larger, more cohesive and more powerful …
The Salaried Middle Class in the Corporatist Welfare State
While I recognise that there are many problems involved in defining what I choose to call the salaried middle class (SMC), I will take its constituent elements to be those non-manual career hierarchies which we tend to associate with private and public bureaucracies. Galbraith’s definition of a large corporation’s technostructure comes nearest to what I mean. ‘It extends from the most senior officials to where it meets ... the blue and white coll…
