Swedish security policy has long been centered on a policy of neutrality. This has changed and is now centered on solidarity. A strong will of cooperation with other countries and organizations in order to create security for the nation. This paper aims to explain the current security policy of Sweden by using two of Graham Allison’s theories of decision making, the rational actor and organizational behavior. The paper is set up as a case study where material from the Swedish government, the Swedish contingencies agency (MSB) and the armed forces is analyzed.

However, further material is needed to fully understand the choice the government made about the security policy. (Less)
