Lokalt självstyre i Blekinge : Participation och representation i Mörrum och Backaryd ca 1770-1800: en undersökning av den politiska kulturen i två Blekingesocknar.
(1992) In Scandia 60(2). p.155-208- Abstract
- The main aim of this study was to determine whether there were any differences in political culture between the parishes of Blekinge and parishes in the older parts of Sweden. The question has its point of departure in K. H. Johansson's now classic dissertation on the Swedish parish assernbles. He reaches the conclusion that the assemblies were democratic institutions, in which all the members of the congregation participated in the decision-making. In a brief section he also tries to show that the parish assemblies in Skåne, where the tradition of parish assemblies was not long, were more a forum for the authorities, while the parishioners had little say.

By studying two parishes in Blekinge - Mörrum and Backaryd - 1 have attempted to show that Blekinge quickly developed a vigorous political culture. But there were also significant differences which show that some of the parishes in the province developed a form of their own self-government, which differed sharply from what was the practice in the older Swedish provinces. This applies, for example, to Mörrum, which. like the other parishes with a church council. lay in the fertile valley district. Backaryd. which was in the forest district, had a more traditional self-government resembling that in the older parts of Sweden.
It can be observed that the local political culture shows both similarities
and significant differences vis--vis the old Swedish provinces. Despite this, political activity in the two parishes was vigorous. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Uppsatsens huvudsyfte har varit att utröna om det fanns några skillnader i
politisk kultur mellan de socknar som låg i Blekinge och de socknar som låg i
de gammalsvenska delarna av Sverige. Frågan tar sin utgångspunkt i K.H. Johanssons klassiska avhandling om de svenska sockenstämmorna. Han drar slutsatsen att stämmorna var demokratiska institutioner, där alla församlingens medlemmar fick delta och fatta beslut. I ett kortare avsnitt försöker han också visa att de skånska sockenstämmorna, med sin korta stämmotradition, mera var överhetens forum, medan församlingarna inte hade något att säga till
om.

Genom att undersöka två socknar i Blekinge, Mörrum och Backaryd har jag
försökt att visa att Blekinge snabbt fick igång en mycket livaktig politisk kultur.
Men det existerade också viktiga skillnader, som visar att en del av socknarna
i landskapet utvecklade ett eget självstyre som klart bryter mot det som
var praxis i de gammalsvenska landskapen. Detta gäller bl.a. för Mörrum som,
i likhet med de andra socknarna med kyrkoråd, låg i den rika dalbygden. Backaryd,som låg i skogsbygden, hade ett mer traditionellt självstyre som liknar
det gammalsvenska. (Less)
