(2017) STVK02 20171Department of Political Science
- Abstract

The Swedish – Sami relationship is part of the darker chapters of the Swedish history. This study aims to understand parts of this relation from a postcolonial perspective. The postcolonial approach is built on postcolonial theories and the concept of internal colonialism. The focus of this study is the governmental report SOU 1999:25 as well as the latest parliamentary discussion concerning a Swedish ratification of ILO 169. This study gives a new perspective of how the Swedish non-ratification is affected by the process of internal colonialism that is characterized by irresolution. The capitalist market forces and history writing as a grand narrative also seem to have an effect on the Swedish non-ratification. (Less)
