Inflytandet av problemrepresentationer för jämställdhetsintegrering

- Abstract
- This thesis uses the ?What's the problem?-approach developed by Carol Lee
Bacchi. This approach studies how the problem that a certain policy is supposed
to take care of is represented. Each representation will rest upon certain
assumptions and will accordingly support certain solutions while other solutions
will be considered less suitable to the problem as it is represented.
The thesis therefore evaluates the competing problem representations for
gender mainstreaming in Sweden. The theory chapter explores two development
possibilities for gender mainstreaming, based on diversity and deliberative
democracy. The idea analysis of the problem representations will accordingly
consider the dimensions diversity and deliberative... (More) - This thesis uses the ?What's the problem?-approach developed by Carol Lee

democracy. The idea analysis of the problem representations will accordingly
consider the dimensions diversity and deliberative democracy. In consequence,
the question at issue is: How do the problem representations for gender
mainstreaming interact with solutions for diversity and deliberative mechanisms?
The problem representations are identified in newspapers, government bills
and in the policy for gender mainstreaming in the Swedish government office.
The main result is that the dominant problem representations mainly rest upon
assumptions that support the prevailing policy while they make the reform
proposals appear to be unsuitable for the problem. (Less)
