Identifying how autocracies begin. Looking at Sweden 2024

Andersson Sundman, Jennifer LU (2024) STVK12 20241
Department of Political Science
Abstract (Swedish)
This is a bachelor thesis with the purpose to find out if features of Sweden’s
current political landscape express signs of beginning autocratization. It is split
into two parts, first to map out autocratic beginning characteristics and later apply
them on Sweden. Thematic analysis has been used for the purpose and the essay
has been largely inspired by Tidöavtalet and different civil society advocates, like
journalists. Findings conclude that Sweden exhibit some common characteristics
with countries that have experienced beginning autocratization but at such a mild
degree that Sweden cannot be considered to be in a beginning autocratization
process.
