Since then Göteborg has been struggling to transform itself into a successful post-industrial city. The political leadership has worked diligently at promoting Göteborg as a knowledge and event city with the goal of creating growth in the region. After the shipyard crisis an area on the waterfront called Lindholmen was planned for housing, green areas and the preservation of an historically valuable building. In 1997, however, this all changed when the pri- vate company Ericsson started to look for a new office location and showed interest in the area. The company demanded the establishment of an IT-cluster consisting of 10 000 workplaces on the pier. This started a process which re- sulted in Lindholmen Science Park, a growth environment for knowledge in- tensive, high-tech companies.

The Development and Quality of Financial Accounting: - Unnecessary Disruptions and Established Routines BJÖRN BRORSTRÖM PIERRE DONATELLA The Development and Quality of Financial Accounting The Development and Quality of Financial Accounting: - Unnecessary Disruptions and Established Routines BJÖRN BRORSTRÖM PIERRE DONATELLA Abstract This paper addresses financial accounting in Swedish municipalities and county councils and the quality of municipal accounting. The paper describes the ways in which municipal accounting has transformed over the last few decades towards accrual accounting and the development of the annual report to become more user-friendly. A study has been conducted of the quality of municipal annual reports with the purpose to find out whether they meet established criteria after 20 years of efforts to improve them. An operationalization of basic and crucial requirements for financial accounting has been done. In the next step the requirements have been compared with the actual content of the annual reports. The main result is that the annual reports are disclosed and provide accessible information, but is to some extent not up-to-date. Routines and institutionalized texts obstruct the reports’ newsworthiness and their informational content. The result of the study of the practice has apparent normative implications. Annual reports ought to be founded more firmly up-to-date if they should attract different kind of users.

  • Swedish Forest-Edge Farmers and Wolf Recovery
    [Downloaded free from http://www.conservationandsociety.org on Thursday, February 04, 2010] Conservation and Society 7(2): 130-140, 2009 Article Social-Natural Landscape Reorganised: Swedish Forest-edge Farmers and Wolf Recovery Annelie Sjölander-Lindqvist Centre for Public Sector Research, University of Gothenburg, Box 720, 405 30 Göteborg, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The politics and the underlying reasons behind the recovery of the Scandinavian wolf population are increasingly contested. According to official policy, wolves should be guaranteed a place in the Swedish natural world. However, the conflict over whether Sweden should host a wolf population sets views on biodiversity and sustainable development against the perspective that local traditions and livelihoods are threatened by the return of wolves. These diverging environmental visions can be seen as competing interests and understandings of nature and wildlife. The desire of the state and nature conservation organisations to implement measures to provide conditions fostering wolf survival are counterbalanced by local action groups and community residents struggling to maintain conditions for conserving summer pastures, opportunities for hunting with sporting dogs, and other recreational activities such as mushroom- and berry-picking. Not only are these activities considered to have high natural and cultural value, the European Union (EU) has stated that small-scale farming is important for maintaining the landscape and safeguarding the survival of values associated with ‘agri-environmental’ habitats. The conflict between the interest groups is essentially about the access to and use of environmental resources. Squeezed between policies safeguarding wolf populations, preventing cruelty to animals and implementing activities required by the EU agricultural programme, farmers in areas with resident wolf populations have come to take part in processes that may reinforce rural identity.
