Relevant material for the study was collected through text analysis of official documents and interviews with persons who were the key actors in the changes policy. The outcome of this study shows, that, in the end, it is not the most obvious policy’s suggestion that will be used, but rather the one that fits in the political framework at a given moment, like The Armed Forces´ suggestion was demonstrated to be implementable. The Swedish contribution was small but still important one, both in terms of domestic and foreign policy. (Less)
