  • Political Youth Organisations and Alcohol Policy in Nordic Countries
    Political youth organisations and alcohol policy in Nordic countries Project report 2019/2020 Nordic Alcohol and Drug Policy Network www.nordan.org THIS is not a scientific study. It has never aimed to be one. This is advocacy groups attempt to analyse the developments in societies and in a way to predict where are we heading in the next five or ten years. The prediction aspect of this is because we are focusing on young people. And even more, on politically active young people. They are, at least theoretically, the ones making the decisions of tomorrow. Are they the future ministers, prime ministers, party leaders, high officials? Probably, yes. They are going to decide the future of the political parties, and as we are finding out, they give their best to do it already today. Perhaps more than ever, the youth voice is critical in today's policymaking. "Politics is in realignment. And perhaps the most underappreciated change is this: Based on recent research at Tufts University's Tisch College of Civic Life, young voters, ages 18- 29, played a significant role in the 2018 midterms and are poised to shape elections in 2020 and beyond." CNN on January 2, 2020, looking at the US presidential elections. Every Nordic country is discussing or already experimenting with lowering the voting age, thus involving younger people in our democratic processes. That will mean that political parties will listen more and more what young are saying, what they support and are interested in. Youth matter. Today more than ever before. For us, to understand the motives and interests of young people, it will be easier to predict the next steps and the future developments.

  • Monitoring Targeted Hate in Online Environments
    Monitoring Targeted Hate in Online Environments Tim Isbister1, Magnus Sahlgren1, Lisa Kaati1, Milan Obaidi2, Nazar Akrami2 1Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI), 2Uppsala University 1164 90 Stockholm, Sweden, 2Box 256, 751 05 Uppsala, Sweden fTim.Isbister, Magnus.Sahlgren, [email protected], fMilan.Obaidi, [email protected] Abstract Hateful comments, swearwords and sometimes even death threats are becoming a reality for many people today in online environments. This is especially true for journalists, politicians, artists, and other public figures. This paper describes how hate directed towards individuals can be measured in online environments using a simple dictionary-based approach. We present a case study on Swedish politicians, and use examples from this study to discuss shortcomings of the proposed dictionary-based approach. We also outline possibilities for potential refinements of the proposed approach. 1. Introduction lustrates the challenge in separating hate speech from other instances of offensive language.

  • Now We're Building Sweden!
    Now We’re Building Sweden! – Green successes in government a Green ministers: Per Bolund, Minister for Financial Markets and Consumer Affairs | Alice Bah Kuhnke, Minister for Culture and Democracy | Gustav Fridolin, Minister for Education | Åsa Romson, Minister for Climate and the Environment, Deputy Prime Minister | Mehmet Kaplan, Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Information Technology | Isabella Lövin, Minister for International Development Cooperation. Building Sweden! – Green successes in government Since October 2014, there is, for the first time ever, a Green party in the Swedish government. And you can tell. Hundreds of decisions, large and small, will make Sweden more sustainable and more modern. We invest in the environment, education and jobs – just as we promised ahead of last year’s election. These are the five green achievements we are the most proud of, so far: More climate-smart housing The government will invest 6.7 billion SEK annually in climate- smart, affordable housing for young people, energy efficiency and incentives for municipalities to build more housing. Aiming for 100 % renewable energy The government is investing heavily in renewable energy, and at the same time making the nuclear power generators take greater responsibility for their environmental and safety costs. As a result, old and unsafe nuclear power is being phased out and we are heading towards a 100 % renewable energy system. A fresh start to reach our environmental objectives The government is making major investments in the protection of forests and oceans, and a decrease in the use of chemicals. We strengthen efforts to reach the environmental objectives, increase the climate policy ambitions and plan to introduce a climate act to keep the climate emissions at a sustainable level.
