Homepage: http://www.sida.se Acknowledgments A team of four researchers has prepared this report: – Alf Morten Jerve, social anthropologist and Director of Advisory Services at the Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI), has co-ordinated the study and is the main author of chapters 3, 5, and 8. Jerve has extensive experience from different types of aid projects and programmes; with regard to the present project, his main focus has been on organisational aspects and decision-making. – Irene Nørlund is a historian. She wrote her Ph.D. thesis on economic develop- ment in Vietnam and is a Research Fellow at the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) in Copenhagen. She is the main author of chapters 4, 6, and 7. With a background spanning more than 20 years of work in Vietnam, her main task has been to relate the story of Bai Bang to broader developments in Vietnam. – Nguyen Thanh Ha, economist and Deputy Head of Technology Department at the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy and Strategic Studies (NISTPASS), Hanoi, has collected data and conducted interviews with the principal actors in Vietnam, and has provided inputs on Vietnam- ese perspectives for all the chapters. – Astri Suhrke, political scientist with a Ph.D. in international relations, is a Senior Research Fellow at CMI. She is the main author of chapters 1, 2, and 9, and is the main editor of the entire report. The team bears sole responsibility for the findings presented in this study, as it does for any errors or oversights. To supplement the work of the core team, CMI commissioned three sub-studies: – Ulf Bjereld (1998). Striden om Bai Bang – En studie av de inrikespolitiska och utrikespolitiska faktorernas betydelse kring Bai Bang-projektet. – Anne Pandolfi (1998). Bai Bang i svenska medier 1980–1996. – Mats J. Svensson (1998). Projektorganisationen i Bai Bang. iii The results of these studies have contributed to the main report in various ways, which are not always directly acknowledged by reference. The sub-studies are available from Sida and CMI. Mats Svensson also assisted the team in arranging interviews and tracing documents in the Sida archive. Orgut Consulting AB, Stockholm, assisted CMI in the early design and later in contacting a number of key informants in Sweden. A special thanks to Tor Skaarud for his work. We wish to acknowledge the advice offered to the team by a number of people: – Lars Ekengren, Sida (reference person) – Sigvard Bahrke, Consultant, Stockholm (reference person) – Stefan de Vylder, Consultant, Stockholm (reference person) – Jan Cedergren, Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Stockholm (reference person) – Olav Stokke, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Oslo (advisor) – Helge Pharo, Department of History, University of Oslo (advisor) – Lars Chr. Blichner, Department of Public Administration, University of Bergen (advisor) – Martin Eide, Department of Media Studies, University of Bergen (advisor) – Pierre Frühling, Consultant, Stockholm (advisor) – Per Engelstad, Work Research Institute, Oslo (advisor) Special thanks to Chris Saunders for language editing, and to the team at CMI who assisted in the administration, editing, and final production of the study: Merete Leby, Armindo Miranda, Whyn Nguyen and Robert Sjursen. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous persons in Sweden and Vietnam who patiently submitted to interviews, sometimes on more than one occasion. Their contributions are evident throughout the study. A full list of persons interviewed is appended. Several people made special contributions to the study that were of particular importance: Ernst Michanek generously shared his recollections and notes; Birgit Öberg gave us part of the unpub- lished manuscript of Jean-Christophe Öberg, intended as Volume II of his book Varför Vietnam, as well as some of the documents from his personal archive; Harry Hermansson retrieved important archival material from the WP-System period; and Christer Ehnemark guided us through the archives of Scanmanage- ment. Special thanks to the management of the Bai Bang Paper Company who generously gave of their valuable time for interviews and access to the company archives. Eva Lövgren of Sida was an understanding and untiring source of support and advice throughout. iv Alf Morten Jerve Chr.

  • The Olof Palme International Center
    About The Olof Palme International Center The Olof Palme International Center works with international development co-operation and the forming of public opinion surrounding international political and security issues. The Palme Center was established in 1992 by the Swedish Social Democratic Party, the Trade Union Confederation (LO) and the Cooperative Union (KF). Today the Palme Center has 28 member organizations within the labour movement. The centre works in the spirit of the late Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, reflected by the famous quotation: "Politics is wanting something. Social Democratic politics is wanting change." Olof Palme's conviction that common security is created by co-operation and solidarity across borders, permeates the centre's activities. The centre's board is chaired by Lena Hjelm-Wallén, former foreign minister of Sweden. Viola Furubjelke is the centre's Secretary General, and Birgitta Silén is head of development aid. There are 13 members of the board, representing member organisations. The commitment of these member organisations is the core of the centre's activities. Besides the founding organisations, they include the Workers' Educational Association, the tenants' movement, and individual trade unions. As popular movements and voluntary organisations , they are represented in all Swedish municipalities and at many workplaces. An individual cannot be a member of the Palme Center, but the member organisations together have more than three million members. In Sweden, the centre carries out comprehensive information and opinion-forming campaigns on issues concerning international development, security and international relations. This includes a very active schedule of seminars and publications, both printed and an e-mail newsletter.

  • (American Swedish News Exchange, New York, NY), 1920S-1990
    Allan Kastrup collection (American Swedish News Exchange, New York, N.Y), 1920s-1990 Size: 19.25 linear feet, 28 boxes Acquisition: The collection was donated to SSIRC in 1990 and 1991. Access: The collection is open for research and a limited amount to copies can be requested via mail. Processed by: Christina Johansson Control Num.: SSIRC MSS P: 308 Historical Sketch The American-Swedish News Exchange was established by the Sweden-America Foundation in Stockholm in 1921 and the agency opened its office in New York City in 1922. ASNE's main purpose was to increase and broaden the general knowledge about Sweden and to provide the American press with news on cultural, economic and political developments in Sweden. The agency also had the primary responsibility for publicity campaigns during Swedish official visits to the United States, such as the Crown Prince Gustav Adolf's visit in 1926, the New Sweden Tercentenary in 1938, and the Swedish Pioneer Centennial in 1948. Between 1926 and 1946, ASNE was under the leadership of Naboth Hedin. Hedin increased the visibility of Sweden in the American press immensely, wrote countless of articles on Sweden, and co-edited with Adolph H. Benson Swedes in America: 1638-1938. Hedin was also instrumental in assisting many American writers with advice and information about Sweden; including Marquis W. Childs in his widely read and circulated work Sweden the Middle Way, first published in 1936. Allan Kastrup assumed the leadership of ASNE in 1946. He held this position until his retirement in 1964, at which time ASNE ceased to exist and its responsibilities were assumed by the Swedish Information Service.
