The Racist Legacy in Modern Swedish Saami Policy1
THE RACIST LEGACY IN MODERN SWEDISH SAAMI POLICY1 Roger Kvist Department of Saami Studies Umeå University S-901 87 Umeå Sweden Abstract/Resume The Swedish national state (1548-1846) did not treat the Saami any differently than the population at large. The Swedish nation state (1846- 1971) in practice created a system of institutionalized racism towards the nomadic Saami. Saami organizations managed to force the Swedish welfare state to adopt a policy of ethnic tolerance beginning in 1971. The earlier racist policy, however, left a strong anti-Saami rights legacy among the non-Saami population of the North. The increasing willingness of both the left and the right of Swedish political life to take advantage of this racist legacy, makes it unlikely that Saami self-determination will be realized within the foreseeable future. L'état suédois national (1548-1846) n'a pas traité les Saami d'une manière différente de la population générale. L'Etat de la nation suédoise (1846- 1971) a créé en pratique un système de racisme institutionnalisé vers les Saami nomades. Les organisations saamies ont réussi à obliger l'Etat- providence suédois à adopter une politique de tolérance ethnique à partir de 1971. Pourtant, la politique précédente de racisme a fait un legs fort des droits anti-saamis parmi la population non-saamie du nord. En con- séquence de l'empressement croissant de la gauche et de la droite de la vie politique suédoise de profiter de ce legs raciste, il est peu probable que l'autodétermination soit atteinte dans un avenir prévisible. 204 Roger Kvist Introduction In 1981 the Supreme Court of Sweden stated that the Saami right to reindeer herding, and adjacent rights to hunting and fishing, was a form of private property. -

1 —The Office of Lord Chancellor
Select Committee on the Constitution Inquiry: The Office of Lord Chancellor [email protected] (July 2014) —THE OFFICE OF LORD CHANCELLOR— Graham Gee Birmingham Law School The University of Birmingham In this evidence, I draw on research conducted between 2011-2014 with Robert Hazell (UCL), Kate Malleson (Queen Mary) and Patrick O’Brien (UCL) as part of an AHRC- funded project on The Politics of Judicial Independence in the UK’s Changing Constitution. This included 150 confidential interviews with judges, politicians, officials and others involved in the administration of justice in the UK. Although drawing on research conducted jointly with Hazell, Malleson and O’Brien, this evidence is my own interpretation of our findings. 1. What are the current functions of the Lord Chancellor (as distinct from those of the Secretary of State for Justice)? 1.1 There are eight main functions of the new-style Lord Chancellors: (i) to ensure that there is an efficient and effective court system, including by providing the necessary resources and accounting to Parliament for their efficient and proper use;1 (ii) to decide the framework for the organization of the court system, including determining the total number of judges after consulting with the LCJ;2 (iii) to determine the pay, pensions and conditions of judicial service, taking into account recommendations of the Senior Salaries Review Body;3 (iv) to determine (with the LCJ) the aims of HMCTS, to endeavour to agree its budget with the LCJ, and to supply sufficient staff and resources;4 (v) a shared responsibility (with the LCJ) for complaints, supported by the Judicial Conduct and Investigations Office, and accounting to Parliament for the operation of the complaints system as a whole;5 (vi) to accept, reject or request reconsideration of the individual selections made either by the JAC for vacancies in the High Court or by ad hoc panels for the most senior appointments (i.e. -

Nordic Health Care Systems pb:Nordic Health Care Systems pb 11/8/09 14:04 Page 1 Nordic Health Care Systems Recent Reforms and Current Policy Challenges European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies Series “The book is very valuable as actual information about the health systems in the Nordic countries and the changes that have been made during the last two decades. It informs well both about the similarities within the ‘Nordic Health Model’ and the important differences that exist between the countries.” Bo Könberg, County Governor, Former Minister of Health and Social Insurance in Sweden (1991-1994) “The publishing of this book about the Nordic health care systems is a major Nordic Health Care Systems event for those interested not only in Nordic health policy and health systems but also for everybody interested in comparative health policy and health systems. It is the first book in its kind. It covers the four “large” Nordic countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, and does so in a very systematically comparative way. The book is well organized, covers “everything” and is analytically sophisticated.” Ole Berg, Professor of Health Management, University of Oslo This book examines recent patterns of health reform in Nordic health care systems, and the balance between stability and change in how these systems have developed. Nordic Health Care Systems The health systems in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are investigated through detailed comparisons along a variety of policy-driven parameters. The following themes are explored: Recent Reforms and Current Policy Challenges • Politicians, patients, and professions Financing, production, and distribution • &Saltman Magnussen,Vrangbaek • The role of the primary health sector • The role of public health • Internal management mechanisms • Impact of the European Union The book probes the impact of these topics and then contrasts the development across all four coumntries, allowing the reader to gain a sense of perspective both on the individual systems as well as on the region as a whole. -
