The supply of labour to the green industries in Sweden: Inequality and Dependence Among Workers and Employers
Sweden's green industries along with public agencies have for a long-time expressed concern over labour shortage as a consequence of the depopulation of rural areas. Agriculture and forestry have seen increased employment of migrant workers which has been accredited to this shortage, especially in parts of the production that is accentuated by manual work and seasonality. Just as in the wild berry industry, these workers often face precarious con…
Bridging (over)tourism geographies: Proposing a Systems Approach in Overtourism Research
This paper utilises bibliometric data on peer-reviewed publications to examine the characteristics and dominant narratives in overtourism research to date. Departing from earlier state-of-the-art reviews, it introduces a spatial perspective with a distinct focus on spatial processes and geographical scales. The analysis identifies six overarching themes in the literature, which predominantly centre on metropolitan contexts and are characterised b…
A virtual geobibliography of polar tourism and climate change
The polar regions are increasingly at the center of attention as the hot spots of climate crisis as well as tourism development. The recent IPCC reports highlight several climate change risks for the rather carbon-intensive and weather-based/dependent polar tourism industry in the Arctic and the Antarctic. This study presents the scholarly state-of-knowledge on tourism and climate change in the polar regions with a literature survey extending bey…
Public funding and destination evolution in sparsely populated Arctic regions
This paper examines the role of public funding in transforming tourism pathways in sparsely populated Arctic destinations, comparing Northern Sweden and Finnish Lapland. Our theoretical framework considers destination path plasticity and moments of change through the lens of geographical political economy to understand patterns of uneven development. This perspective helps explain how regional development funding driven by multi-scalar political …

Exploring population redistribution at sub-municipal levels – Microurbanisation and messy migration in Sweden's high North
To contribute to more balanced perspectives on sub-municipal population change in sparsely populated areas (SPAs), this paper closely examines a local pocket of growth in a shrinking Northern Swedish municipality. Integrating Swedish register data with in-depth qualitative insights, the geographic study examines patterns and processes of uneven local population dynamics linked to life course migration. This is done through a socio-spatial cluster…

The Continuing Advance and Retreat of Rural Settlement in the Northern Inland of Sweden
In 1960, a range of leading rural geographers started a debate about population development and the “advance and retreat” of human settlement in sparsely populated rural areas, including in the inland north of Sweden. In what came to be known as the “Siljan Symposium,” they identified a number of key themes in relation to migration and human mobility that were thought to determine settlement patterns in the inland north, including: internal migra…

The last resort? Ski tourism and climate change in Arctic Sweden
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the external and internal factors that support or challenge a possible transformation of Arctic Sweden into a major ski destination under a changing climate. Design/methodology/approach The paper questions future availability of the physical and the human factors that foster ski tourism development in Arctic Sweden and suggests a comparative case study in relation to the already existing large resor…
Repopulating and revitalising rural Sweden? Re-examining immigration as a solution to rural decline
Increasing international immigration is often portrayed as a potential solution to persistent economic and population decline in rural areas. Based on longitudinal register data, this study examines the extent to which international migration has contributed to demographic and labour market changes in rural Sweden between 1990 and 2010. Results show that the urbanisation rate of international migrants is very high while their employment rate in r…
The Relevance of Cluster Initiatives in Rural Areas: Regional Policy in Sweden
The relatively weak performance of sparsely populated areas has been given substantial attention in many regional, national and European Union initiatives. Many rural areas are struggling with development problems such as depopulation, advanced ageing, industrial restructuring and high levels of structural unemployment. In Sweden these issues are mainly associated with the difficulties in the non-metropolitan sparsely populated areas in the north…
National Parks and Protected Areas and the Role for Employment in Tourism and Forest Sectors: A Swedish Case

The Controversy Over Protected Areas and Forest-Sector Employment in Norrbotten, Sweden: Forest Stakeholder Perceptions and Statistics
Even as environmental protection constitutes an aim of national policy, the conservation of productive forest may impact communities reliant on local employment, with one example being Norrbotten County in Northern Sweden. The study focuses on the perceptions of environmental protection among stakeholders in forestry and of its relation to employment and how these compare with quantitative impacts of environmental protection. Results show that al…
Books on Time in Nordic Countries
The Historian's Time
The article discusses two dichotomies in the analysis of time-conceptions and their relation to historiography. Regarding the absolute-relational dichotomy it is concluded that historiography has put far too much emphasis on the absolute conception of time when establishing chronological systems. The second dichotomy is the one between time as fundamentally an A- or a B-series in MacTaggart's sense; and regarding that, the conclusion is that the …
