Abstract
This essay intends to study the development of the official Swedish security doctrine between 1990-2022. The theoretical framework is based on Katarina Brodin's and Wilhelm Agrell's research on doctrinal analyzes. The theoretical framework is created based on a mixture of Agrell and Brodin's definitions and research. Thus, the variables examined are: worldview, goals and actions. Based on these, the purpose is then to study and describe whether there has been a doctrinal development in the official security doctrine of Sweden. The study is limited to studying three different years: 1990, 2000 and 2022. The method used in the study to answer the question is a qualitative text analysis, as it makes it possible to study the material in depth... (More)
This essay intends to study the development of the official Swedish security doctrine between 1990-2022. The theoretical framework is based on Katarina Brodin's and Wilhelm Agrell's research on doctrinal analyzes. The theoretical framework is created based on a mixture of Agrell and Brodin's definitions and research. Thus, the variables examined are: worldview, goals and actions. Based on these, the purpose is then to study and describe whether there has been a doctrinal development in the official security doctrine of Sweden. The study is limited to studying three different years: 1990, 2000 and 2022. The method used in the study to answer the question is a qualitative text analysis, as it makes it possible to study the material in depth and see variations over time. The material that will be used to make the text analysis is the Swedish government's foreign declarations, which are presented in February each year. The most prominent result in the study is that there is a development in the doctrine, but that a new completely revised security policy doctrine has not been developed. Furthermore, the conclusion argues that further nuances have changed in the doctrine, but that in most parts there is continuity, even if the degree of this varies. (Less)
