In this thesis I have investigated the reasoning for the development of the Nordic defence cooperation from a Swedish perspective. Since the Cold War Sweden made some really big changes in their defence and security approach. A part in this change is the defence cooperation with the other Nordic countries. I have used two logics of actions, logic of consequences and logic of appropriateness to try to explain why Sweden has invested in the defence cooperation. What I have come up with is that it is possible to explain the Nordic defence cooperation from a Swedish perspective based on both logics of action. Based on logic of consequences you can say that it is more rational for Sweden to focus on the Nordic defence cooperation defence as it will be more efficient, reduce costs, and that there is a better alternative to cooperate with others because it poses a bigger threat to possible enemies. Based on logic of appropriateness you can explain the cooperation because the Nordic countries have a common identity where they share the same values and standards. Countries who identify with each other can more easily to cooperate. And Sweden can more easily achieve the goals they have, like spreading democratic values through cooperation with the Nordic countries. (Less)
