  • Nature identification and gender spill-over: An intersectional analysis of Umeå’s local climate policy

    Open Access•Angelica Lundgren, Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•Local Environment•2026

    The local level is increasingly recognized as crucial to the climate transition. National level climate objectives are often delegated by governments to be implemented by public authorities at the local level, and many of the actions required to reach climate objectives concern areas where municipalities have jurisdiction. We study the climate policies of Umeå, a municipality in Sweden. While most Swedish municipalities have developed climate pol…

  • Climate institutions matter: The challenges of making gender-sensitive and inclusive climate policies

    Open Access•Gunnhildur Lily Magnusdottir, Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•Cooperation and Conflict•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 12

    Climate institutions such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with its expert panel the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the European Union, as well as national and local authorities in various sectors (such as transport, industry, energy, and agriculture), play a central role in developing and enacting climate strategies. Climate institutions, particularly in the Global North, have however …

  • Role of local governments and households in low-waste city transitions

    Open Access•Ruth Lane, Annica Kronsell et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Innovation and…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 24

    Local governments are placing greater requirements on households to sort and reduce their waste. The research draws on experimental governance scholarship to explore the transformative capacity of local government in low waste sustainability transitions and how this is given form through engaging households in new waste management initiatives. Australia, a high-income county with one of the highest per-capita rates of waste generation globally, f…

  • Responsibility and innovation for low waste and circular economy transitions: What roles for households

    Open Access•Ruth Lane, Annica Kronsell et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Policy Studies•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 10

    The need for waste policy to embrace CE principles through measures to avoid waste generation and improve recycling rates can be understood within the broader context of sustainability transitions. We analyze three Australian waste policies to understand how households are framed as framing policy actors. Using a governance rationalities framework inspired by Hajer (2005) and Dryzek's (2013) work on environmental governance, we identified four di…

  • Cosmopolitanism and individual ethical reflection - the embodied experiences of Swedish veterans

    Open Access•Annika Bergman Rosamond, Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•Critical Military Studies•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 49

    This article aims to enable a conversation between cosmopolitan thought, with focus on individual ethical experiences and reflections, and research on embodied military experiences. While we derive our ethical reasoning from cosmopolitanism, we concede that it lacks sensitivity to individuals’ other-regarding reflections and acts. Moreover, it does not sufficiently problematize the ways in which cosmopolitan deliberations are mediated in consider…

  • Intersectionality and climate policy-making: The inclusion of social difference by three Swedish government agencies

    Open Access•B E Singleton, Nanna Rask et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning C…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 20

    Climate change effects, views and approaches vary based on geographical location, class, gender, age and other climate related social factors. It is thus relevant to explore how various government bodies/authorities involved in dealing with climate change represent and act on social difference across diverse societies. This article performs a discourse analysis of climate policy documents from three Swedish government agencies: the Transport Admi…

  • Achieving peaceful climate change adaptation through transformative governance

    Open Access•Hanna Leonardsson, Annica Kronsell et al.•ARTICLE•World Development•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 13

    Which form of governance is required to bridge tensions that stem from the urgent need of climate change adaptation (CCA) on the one hand, and the imperative of upholding peace and social stability in vulnerable areas on the other? This article proposes transformative governance as a framework and methodology for addressing this question. It recognizes that the increased pace of climate change requires urgent and thorough adjustments to actual or…

  • Masculinities and femininities in sustainable transport policy: A focus on Swedish municipalities

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell, Christian Dymén et al.•ARTICLE•NORMA•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 25

    Gender identities are relevant for sustainable transport. By analyzing the synergies between gender inequality (as a problem), and lack of sustainability (another problem), there is a potential to create an understanding of how these problems are linked. Our aim is to better understand how gendered norms find expression in transport policy and planning. Taking a starting point in gender studies we advance four ideal types on masculine and feminin…

  • Theorising feminist foreign policy

    Open Access•Karin Aggestam, Annika Bergman Rosamond et al.•ARTICLE•International Relations•2019•Cited by: 12

    A growing number of states including Canada, Norway and Sweden have adopted gender and feminist-informed approaches to their foreign and security policies. The overarching aim of this article is to advance a theoretical framework that can enable a thoroughgoing study of these developments. Through a feminist lens, we theorise feminist foreign policy arguing that it is, to all intents and purposes, ethical and argue that existing studies of ethica…

  • The green state and industrial decarbonisation

    Open Access•Roger Hildingsson, Annica Kronsell et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 22

    The large share of carbon emitted by energy-intensive industries in the extraction and processing of basic materials must be limited to decarbonise society and the economy. Ways in which the state can govern industrial decarbonisation and contributes to green state theory are explored by addressing a largely ignored issue: the green state’s industrial relations and its role in industrial governance. With insights from a Swedish case study, the te…

  • Experimental governance: The role of municipalities in urban living labs

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell, Dalia Mukhtar-Landgren•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2018

    Innovations in urban governance such as Urban Living Labs (ULL) are expected to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable and climate-resilient cities. This article reviews different ULL across Europe and explores the role and potential capacity of municipalities in the development of and/or facilitation of ULL as a form of experimental governance. It focuses on the role of the public sector in the multi-actor collaborations that often c…

  • At the nexus of problem-solving and critical research

    Open Access•Yahia Mahmoud, A Jerneck et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2018•Cited by: 2

    The analytical distinction between critical and problem-solving research is useful. At the onset of research, the latter takes the world as it is while the former questions it. Yet, in striving to integrate social and natural dimensions of sustainability such a distinction may surface as a methodological obstacle. We illustrate how combining critical with problem-solving approaches can help us imagine, understand, and enable transitions to sustai…

  • Cosmopolitan militaries and dialogic peacekeeping: Danish and Swedish women soldiers in Afghanistan

    Annika Bergman Rosamond, Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•International Feminist Journal of…•2017•Cited by: 12•References: 13

    Feminist security studies (FSS) scholarship advocates the analysis of women’s war experiences and narratives to understand conflict and military intervention. Here we add a non-great power focus to FSS debates on the gendered discourses of military interventionism. We zoom in on Danish and Swedish women soldiers’ reflections on their involvement in the ISAF operation in Afghanistan. Their stories are deconstructed against the backdrop of their st…

    This article advances feminist analysis in the study of European integration through a focus on gender power in relation to masculinity constructs. It takes issue with the fact that gender studies tend to equate gender with women. It sketches a feminist contribution to integration theory, where the EU is perceived as gender regimes at multiple levels. Gender identity constructs – masculinities and femininities – rely on difference and are shiftin…

  • Sexed Bodies and Military Masculinities: Gender Path Dependence in EU’s Common Security and Defense Policy

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•Men and Masculinities•2016•Cited by: 13•References: 56

    This article explores the European Union (EU)'s Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) through a framework based on feminist institutional theory that highlights the durability in the dynamics of gender relations. Path dependency based on historic features of military institutions-a strict sex division based on 'gender war roles'-has influenced the development of different CSDP bodies. The CSDP is sexed because male bodies dominate the organizations …

    This article explores the link between gender representation and climate policy-making in Scandinavia. We ask to what extent equal descriptive representation (critical mass) results in substantive representation (critical acts).

    Scholars have argued that the end of the Cold War and the War on Terror have radically changed the context of war and defense, diminished the role of nation-states in favor of multi-lateral defense activities, and placed a new focus on human security. International peacekeeping has superseded the traditional act of war-making as the most important defense strategy among wealthy, liberal-democratic nations. And, per UN Security Council Resolution …

    The ‘old’ forms of governance have been criticized for being neither sufficiently democratic nor effective. The popularity of ‘new’ modes of governance includes the embracing of values — integral to democratic processes — such as legitimacy, public accountability and trust. By relating parts of this ‘old‐vs.‐new’ distinction to March and Olsen’s dichotomy of aggregative vs. integrative political processes, the aim of this paper is to find pattern…

    Vital knowledge about gender relations can be gained through the study of military and defense organizations. Such institutions of hegemonic masculinity tend to represent and reify specific notions of masculinity in ways that make it the norm. The article suggests that such institutions can be approached through feminist methodology, for example, by using critical analysis to question what appears ‘normal’ in institutional practice and by listeni…

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•JCMS Journal of Common Market…•2016•Cited by: 22•References: 56

    This article advances feminist analysis in the study of European integration through a focus on gender power in relation to masculinity constructs. It takes issue with the fact that gender studies tend to equate gender with women. It sketches a feminist contribution to integration theory, where the EU is perceived as gender regimes at multiple levels. Gender identity constructs – masculinities and femininities – rely on difference and are shiftin…

  • Sexed Bodies and Military Masculinities: Gender Path Dependence in EU’s Common Security and Defense Policy

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•Men and Masculinities•2016•Cited by: 13•References: 56

    This article explores the European Union (EU)'s Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) through a framework based on feminist institutional theory that highlights the durability in the dynamics of gender relations. Path dependency based on historic features of military institutions-a strict sex division based on 'gender war roles'-has influenced the development of different CSDP bodies. The CSDP is sexed because male bodies dominate the organizations …

  • Cosmopolitan militaries and dialogic peacekeeping: Danish and Swedish women soldiers in Afghanistan

    Annika Bergman Rosamond, Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•International Feminist Journal of…•2017•Cited by: 12•References: 13

    Feminist security studies (FSS) scholarship advocates the analysis of women’s war experiences and narratives to understand conflict and military intervention. Here we add a non-great power focus to FSS debates on the gendered discourses of military interventionism. We zoom in on Danish and Swedish women soldiers’ reflections on their involvement in the ISAF operation in Afghanistan. Their stories are deconstructed against the backdrop of their st…

  • Experimental governance: The role of municipalities in urban living labs

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell, Dalia Mukhtar-Landgren•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2018

    Innovations in urban governance such as Urban Living Labs (ULL) are expected to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable and climate-resilient cities. This article reviews different ULL across Europe and explores the role and potential capacity of municipalities in the development of and/or facilitation of ULL as a form of experimental governance. It focuses on the role of the public sector in the multi-actor collaborations that often c…

  • At the nexus of problem-solving and critical research

    Open Access•Yahia Mahmoud, A Jerneck et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2018•Cited by: 2

    The analytical distinction between critical and problem-solving research is useful. At the onset of research, the latter takes the world as it is while the former questions it. Yet, in striving to integrate social and natural dimensions of sustainability such a distinction may surface as a methodological obstacle. We illustrate how combining critical with problem-solving approaches can help us imagine, understand, and enable transitions to sustai…

  • Theorising feminist foreign policy

    Open Access•Karin Aggestam, Annika Bergman Rosamond et al.•ARTICLE•International Relations•2019•Cited by: 12

    A growing number of states including Canada, Norway and Sweden have adopted gender and feminist-informed approaches to their foreign and security policies. The overarching aim of this article is to advance a theoretical framework that can enable a thoroughgoing study of these developments. Through a feminist lens, we theorise feminist foreign policy arguing that it is, to all intents and purposes, ethical and argue that existing studies of ethica…

  • The green state and industrial decarbonisation

    Open Access•Roger Hildingsson, Annica Kronsell et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 22

    The large share of carbon emitted by energy-intensive industries in the extraction and processing of basic materials must be limited to decarbonise society and the economy. Ways in which the state can govern industrial decarbonisation and contributes to green state theory are explored by addressing a largely ignored issue: the green state’s industrial relations and its role in industrial governance. With insights from a Swedish case study, the te…

  • Masculinities and femininities in sustainable transport policy: A focus on Swedish municipalities

    Open Access•Annica Kronsell, Christian Dymén et al.•ARTICLE•NORMA•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 25

    Gender identities are relevant for sustainable transport. By analyzing the synergies between gender inequality (as a problem), and lack of sustainability (another problem), there is a potential to create an understanding of how these problems are linked. Our aim is to better understand how gendered norms find expression in transport policy and planning. Taking a starting point in gender studies we advance four ideal types on masculine and feminin…

  • Intersectionality and climate policy-making: The inclusion of social difference by three Swedish government agencies

    Open Access•B E Singleton, Nanna Rask et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning C…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 20

    Climate change effects, views and approaches vary based on geographical location, class, gender, age and other climate related social factors. It is thus relevant to explore how various government bodies/authorities involved in dealing with climate change represent and act on social difference across diverse societies. This article performs a discourse analysis of climate policy documents from three Swedish government agencies: the Transport Admi…

  • Achieving peaceful climate change adaptation through transformative governance

    Open Access•Hanna Leonardsson, Annica Kronsell et al.•ARTICLE•World Development•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 13

    Which form of governance is required to bridge tensions that stem from the urgent need of climate change adaptation (CCA) on the one hand, and the imperative of upholding peace and social stability in vulnerable areas on the other? This article proposes transformative governance as a framework and methodology for addressing this question. It recognizes that the increased pace of climate change requires urgent and thorough adjustments to actual or…

  • Cosmopolitanism and individual ethical reflection - the embodied experiences of Swedish veterans

    Open Access•Annika Bergman Rosamond, Annica Kronsell•ARTICLE•Critical Military Studies•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 49

    This article aims to enable a conversation between cosmopolitan thought, with focus on individual ethical experiences and reflections, and research on embodied military experiences. While we derive our ethical reasoning from cosmopolitanism, we concede that it lacks sensitivity to individuals’ other-regarding reflections and acts. Moreover, it does not sufficiently problematize the ways in which cosmopolitan deliberations are mediated in consider…
