- Abstract
- This study has examined whether there is a link between the degree of social exclusion in society and the will to defend one’s country. The study was conducted through a survey of 102 Swedish high school students at Borgarskolan in Malmö where the respondents were asked a number of questions that measured their social exclusion in society based on three variables: trust in the state, national pride and descent, as well as questions that measured their willingness to defend Sweden. Subsequently, regression analysis was carried out in which the social exclusion variable’s effect on the respondents armed will to defend, i.e., their will to defend Sweden with arms if the kingdom was attacked, was analysed.

Subsequently, regression analysis was carried out in which the social exclusion variable’s effect on the respondents armed will to defend, i.e., their will to defend Sweden with arms if the kingdom was attacked, was analysed. After examining the control variable “gender affiliation’s” possible effect on the relationship between the social exclusion variables and the will-to-defend variable, the results show that national pride, i.e., whether one is proud to be Swedish or not and whether one feels like a Swede or not, had a significant relationship with whether the respondent has a high or low will to defend. At the same time, the respondents' descent and trust in the state do not seem to have had any effect on their willingness to defend their country, should it be attacked by foreign power. (Less)
