In this thesis I have studied Försvarsberedningens reports from 1998 to 2013, with the purpose of describing the change in threats and the Swedish security policy (hotbilden). The method for the thesis is a comparing qualitative text analysis, and the outset for the definition and reading of the reports has been the three theories used throughout the thesis, realism, Copenhagen school and human security. The conclusion is that the Swedish security policy has changed in line with the theoretical perspectives. The realistic perspective is present throughout the time period, but more present when the climate gets tough around the country. Swedish security policy has been very influenced by both the Copenhagen school and the human securitys look on threats and security policy. This has resulted in a change from a state centred basis to an individual basis for the Swedish security policy. The thesis further concludes that the threats described in the reports, gradually developed from being fairly easily to overview and with relatively few actors to more complex, multifaceted and unpredictable.
