Thus, how may we democratise control over the means of rhetorical power? An answer may be found in rare cases of social movement communication impacting constitutional reform, such as the Alta dam conflict, 1970-1982, from an area where the Norwegian state overlaps with the Sápmi homeland. Social movement communication as democratic innovation is a research topic scattered between social movement studies (SMS) and strategic communication research (SCR). This chapter integrates both perspectives, firstly, (a) by identifying one shared approach, "empirically grounded critical theory"; and secondly, (b) by applying the empirical method typical to that approach, namely "comparative historical analysis"; and thirdly (c) by suggesting some empirically grounded amendments to existing theoretical concepts on social movement communication as democratic innovation.

The new multiculturalism is much debated. However, there is less problematization of the concept of cultural unity, what we might call "monoculturalism". For the old political sociology, Norway was used as an example of a successful unified society, but for the new political sociology, Norway can become an example of experiments with indigenous people's self-determination. The correlation between nationalism and democratization has been demonstrated by historians like Halvtan Koht and sociologists like Sten Rokkan. They wrote a history of progress, with milestones such as the adaptation of parliamentarianism in 1884 and the establishment of a welfare state in 1936. But during the same time, Sámis and Kväns experienced a heavy century. Suppression was intensified with the adaptation of racial hygiene in the 1880s and Sámi organizations lost their allies when the Labor Movement in the 1930s gave up their hope of international revolution. Glasnost towards indigenous peoples arrived gradually during the 1990s. Transnational social movements and new international laws produced state reforms. How can democratization continue in a way which no longer suppresses minorities?

This is relevant for policy makers in Europe and India, because the Norwegian case, in spite of its small size, is well documented. On this basis, the report theorizes how diasporas produce economic development. The report starts with a critical literature review, and proceeds with thematic chapters on history, demography, socio-economic integration, legal framework, and socio-cultural integration. For each topic, the report summarizes findings from all existing quantitative and qualitative research, showing the Indian diaspora to be a particularly successful non-Western minority in a Western host country. The report, therefore, gives some sense of why the Indian diaspora in Norway is interpreted as successful case of economic and cultural integration. But the report also addresses the level of international integration, in economic and cultural terms, between the areas of arrival and the areas of origin. Pushing beyond the limitations of methodological nationalism, the report conceptualizes diaspora communities as transnational social capital, which contribute to future economic development, within the historical context of geographically uneven development. The report discusses the conceptual implications regarding key issues like internal and external colonialism, intersectional discrimination, national cultural plurality, and remittances as development strategy. In sum, the report suggests an approach for future diaspora research. The phenomena of socio-economic and socio-cultural “integration” should be discussed not only within a national context, as an issue of inclusion within a host nation, but also transnationally, as an issue of ties or even fellowship between different nations.

Antonio Gramsci: Politisk teori. Utdrag fra Fengselsopptegnelsene., 2020
The first Norwegian translation of a selection from Gramsci's Prison Notebooks. Translated and ed... more The first Norwegian translation of a selection from Gramsci's Prison Notebooks. Translated and edited by Geir Lima. With a postface by Helge Hiram Jensen.
Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) regnes i dag som en av 1900-tallets viktigste politiske tenkere. Han er særlig kjent for tekstene han skrev i perioden 1929 til 1935, da han satt fengslet som opposisjonell til det fascistiske regimet i Italia.
I dette utvalget fra Gramscis Fengselsopptegnelser presenteres noen av hans mest sentrale tekster om politisk teori, med særlig vekt på hans forståelse av begrepene stat, politisk samfunn, sivilsamfunn og hegemoni. I disse tekstene kommenterer Gramsci filosofihistorien, de intellektuelles rolle i samfunnet og Machiavellis statsvitenskapelige teorier.
Geir Lima har valgt ut og oversatt tekstene, og har også skrevet innledningen til denne utgaven. Helge Hiram Jensen har skrevet etterordet.

The study is hypothesis-generative, based upon qualitative research. The cases are selected from one ongoing process of state transformation at the Arctic fringe of Europe. An indigenous rights struggle feeds into the ongoing re-constitution of the body of law. The study contributes to an ongoing re-thinking of concepts and methods in European Political and Social Sciences. The struggle for rights is also a struggle for proofs, which feeds into ongoing re-constitution of the body of knowledge.
Positive findings describe my attempts to observe some possible causal mechanisms whereby the indigenous human rights movement has enjoyed some limited success in its effort to decolonize the four states that have divided and conquered Sápmi, the homeland of the Sámi (formerly known as Lapps), the only group within the EU recognized by the UN as an indigenous people.
Negative findings describe my attempts to observe some limitations of my own observational capacity. Many questions of relevance to subaltern interest groups remain under-researched and under-documented: There is a great deal of colonial bias that must still be overcome, not only within European political science at large, but also within my own limited contribution, even though I strive to overcome such bias.
Seven empirical chapters, discuss two single-case studies: Alta Watershed, ca. 1970-1980, and Deatnu Watershed, ca. 1980-2012. The empirical foundation is qualitative data from field observation and historical archives, which is put ino context with some quantitative data from official registers. The different chapters operate within different disciplines: two are geographical, two are sociological, one is historical, one large one is anthropological, and one should be regarded traditional political science. Although multi-disciplinary, my empirical research continues what I call the major research tradition in the field. This focuses on collective action and social ecology, and informs human rights policies.
The theoretical discussion addresses observations by colleagues within another, rival, tradition, which emphasizes coercive force and geo-strategy, and serves public security policies. Transformative social movements need to be aware that both traditions remain limited by a heritage of colonial bias. They also need to be aware that both traditions may be used in a complimentary manner, to help overcoming either fatalism or over-optimism. The thesis concludes that transformative social movements need to avoid the dual pitfalls of naïve idealism and naïve realism, and pursue critical realism.

One part presents documention of paradigmatic examples of actionist art. Another part is a bag of tricks regarding how artistic techniques may be used by the active citizen to engage in public debate.

In different cities the downtown areas are changing, with more expensive ways of life in downtown areas - while the service proletariat and the ethnic minorities must comute longer and longer to the banlieus. Urban sociologists call it "gentrification". What is that? This publication explores the topic, with social science and documentary art. Starting with one particular site in Oslo, we visit several other sites in that city, then flying between many cities, providing a bird's eye overview over cities in the Euro-Mediterranean area. The analysis is sorted into pessimistic experiences, including escalating suppressive violence, and optimistic experiences, including the self-regulating pluralism in cities. The conclusion discusses two competing explanations, from the optimistic Jane Jacobs, and the pessimistic Sharon Zukin (etiology and prognosis), and on this basis we address tactics and strategy for urban social movements (treatment).

«Gramsci er ofte sitert, men tekstene hans er sjelden lest» lokker teksten på baksiden av denne lille boka. Navnet Antonio Gramsci blir nok gjenkjent av mange som liker å lese historie. Lesere med interesse for kommunikasjonsteori eller politisk filosofi vil nok også ha støtt på navnet.

De mest kjente italienske fenomener som renessansekultur, mafia, fascisme og brigantisme er godt forklart. Disse settes inn i en historisk sammenheng, på en måte som gjør det mulig å oppklare endel misforståelser som lett kan oppstå når man skal formidle historie på den andre siden av grensen. Her skal vi først gi et kort resyme av boken. Deretter vil vi gå inn på en kritisk diskusjon av utvalgte temaer fra boken. Boken er rik og dekker et svært langt tidsrom. Vi vil ikke gå i detalj når det gjelder verken renessansen eller fascismen, selv om dette er blant de mest berømte temaene fra italiensk historie. For slike spesifikke temaer anbefaler vi heller å lese boken. Det vi vil ta for oss er hvordan akkurat denne boken forteller historien, sammenliknet med andre måter å fortelle Italias politiske historie. Slik vil vi hjelpe leseren med å plassere forfatterens ståsted og perspektiv i forhold til andre mulige ståsteder og perspektiver. Kanskje kan vi inspirere til å lese både denne boken og andre bøker?
