Digitalisering i den offentliga förvaltningen : IT, värden och legitimitet

We live in a society where the importance of digitalisation grows in every day life as well as in the workplace. In this dissertation the development of the digitalisation of public administration is studiedthis development is usually referred to as e-government. The main focus of the analysis in this dissertation is to gain a better understanding of the meanings of values in these digitalisation processes in public organisations.Three qualitative, interpretative case studies make up the foundation for this analysis. The first case is an analysis of Swedish egovernment policies. The two other cases focus on organisational practices in public administration; the County Council of Östergöt-land and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. These case studies have been based on interviews, document studies and observations. Theoretically the analyses of the dissertation build on theories of public values, legitimacy and the interplay between organisation and technology. The analyses show which values are given importance in digitalisation processes and how digitalisation can affect basic democratic values in public organisations.The results of the dissertation can be summarised in three comprehensive conclusions: 1) The digitalisation of the public administration is context dependent and takes place in an interplay between technology, policy and administration and the specific values which constitute these different domains.2) The development towards egovernment comprises a multitude of values, and is inspired and shaped by different sets of values.3) The digitalisation can influence the role of the democratic values in public organisations, and therefore affect the legitimacy of the public administration.The main contribution of this dissertation is a deeper understanding of what implications e-government reforms can have for the administrations democratic values and its legitimacy. Processes of digitalisation are not value neutral, but are booth shaped by and shape values in the interplay between technology, political goals and the administrations particular organisational forms. Hereby, awareness of the values of digitalisation becomes crucial when e-government reforms are initiated and carried out. Further research on how technology and public organisations shape each other can contribute to uphold the legitimacy of public administration in a digitalised world.

“…But this poses less of a problem if we view representative democracy as comprised of a diverse ecology of institutions, and democratic legitimacy as a potential attribute of the entire political system rather than particular representative claims (Brown, 2009: 204-206;Parkinson and Mansbridge, 2012;Rosanvallon, 2011;Saward, 2010: 163-168). Modern democracies depend on many practices and institutions that are not themselves entirely democratic.…”

Speaking for Nature: Hobbes, Latour, and the Democratic Representation of Nonhumans

Environmental theorists have often considered how best to represent nature's interests. This essay develops an approach to the democratic representation of nonhuman nature by examining the relation between Bruno Latour's account of representation and that of Thomas Hobbes. Both Hobbes and Latour develop a constructivist theory of representation as an ongoing process that partly constitutes what it represents. In this respect, Latour's account complements the constructivist turn in recent democratic theory, and it suggests a promising avenue for representing nonhumans. However, Latour also follows Hobbes in viewing representation as a matter of unifying and replacing the represented. This aspect of Latour's approach obscures certain key features of representative democracy in pluralist societies. The last part of the essay takes up an aspect of Hobbes's theory neglected by Latour, the notion of representation by fi ction, which suggests a way of representing nonhumans that off ers more support for representative democracy than other approaches.

Enfranchising the future: Climate justice and the representation of future generations

Representing unborn generations to more suitably include future interests in today's climate policymaking has sparked much interest in recent years. In this review we survey the main proposed instruments to achieve this effect, some of which have been attempted in polities such as Israel, Philippines, Wales, Finland, and Chile. We first review recent normative work on the idea of representing future people in climate governance: The grounds on which it has been advocated, and the main difficulties that traditional forms of representation have encountered when applied to this particular case. We then survey existing institutional means to represent generations to come. We separate out representation in courts, in parliament, and by independent bodies, and review specific instruments including climate litigation, parliamentary commissions, future representatives, youth quotas, and independent offices for future generations. We examine the particular forms whereby each of these may suitably represent future people, including audience representation, surrogate representation, and indicative representation, and discuss the main challenges they encounter in so doing.
