Abstract

The essay examines which ideas the Swedish Democrats have about courts and government authorities between 2010 and 2020.

The method used is ideational analysis, which divides the thought-content into descriptions, values, and recommendations. Used material is government bills, public speeches, written documents from the Swedish Democrats website, interviews, debate articles, and the party leader’s book. Cas Mudde and Rovira Kaltwassers theory of populism are used as ideology’s basic level, related to the operational level. Also, the material is sorted and guided by Guy Peters and Jon Pierre’s article about populists’ relation to the public administration. The result is that the party criticizes courts for being underfunded, that their praxis is wrong, and that the courts should be safe. Government authorities are described as underfunded, politicized, activist, and that they should be thoroughly controlled. The descriptions are in some ways related to populism theory. (Less)
