Using conceptual history as a method, the analysis explores the development of Swedish national identity from the 1950s to the 2020s. Conformism can be seen as a guiding principle of Swedish national identity, which encompasses freedom, equality, and the pursuit of security. What unites Swedish citizens and forms a shared frame of reference is the democratic tradition, consisting of lifelong learning in solidarity, personal responsibility and mutual consideration. A national cultural canon, could serve as a foundation in safeguarding Swedish national identity and realizing its ideals. (Less)
