Sid 9. AGENDASÄTTANDE Förra årets stora debattämne i inrikespolitiken var den misslyckade integra- tionen. Samtidigt som många branscher ropar efter kompetent arbetskraft står invandrare utanför den ordinarie arbetsmarknaden. SNS Välfärdspolitiska råd analyserade problemet och bidrog till förnyad kraft i debatten med Arbete? Var god dröj! Sid 13. ENGAGEMANG Vem fångar upp samhällsintresse och omvärldsengage- mang hos den yngre generationen i näringslivet? Under 2002 startade SNS Vision där yngre och mer seniora företagsledare träffas och diskuterar aktuella ämnen. Sid 20. GRÄNSÖVERSKRIDANDE På SNS Förtroenderådsmöten träffas makthavare från skilda samhälls- fält och diskuteras vetenskapliga studier om aktuella frågor. Sid 36. OBUNDNA Forskarna i SNS Ekonomiråd 2003 intog obekväma stånd- punkter för många av SNS traditionella stödtrupper. Debat- ten blev intensiv och engagerad. Årets studie är en god illus- tration av forskarnas totala frihet och integritet i delvis före- tagsfinansierade SNS-projekt. Sid 8. KOMPETENSUTVECKLING SNS projekt för fler kvinnor på ledande poster har rönt enorm uppskatt- ning bland såväl kvinnor som män. De studier som hittills publicerats och de seminarier som genomförts bidrar till en konkret höjning av kompe- tensen inom området chefsförsörjning i näringslivet. Sid 18, 21, 32.

A SUMMARY he Government company sphere contains companies of very diverse character, T involving operations ranging from the mining industry to opera, from property to gambling. The overriding objective for the Government is that the companies should create value and, where appropriate, make sure that stipulated public interest require- ments are fulfilled. The companies constitute a large part of the domestic economy, and, consequently, their operations have a strong influence on economic growth and employment. Considerable responsibility is therefore placed on the Government as regards being an active and professional owner. The annual report is a tool which can increase transparency as regards companies with Government ownership.

  • Socialists at the Gate: Swedish Business and the Defense of Free
    SOCIALISTS AT THE GATE Rikard Westerberg Twice in the last century, organized capital in Sweden clashed with organized labor on the issue of private ownership and state intervention. First, in the 1940s following proposals on increased regulation, higher taxes, and potential nation- alization. Thirty years later, when business interests felt pressured by radical- SOCIALISTS AT THE GATE ized politics and a threat of losing ownership to union-controlled wage-earner funds in the midst of an economic crisis. For the captains of industry, the perils SWEDISH BUSINESS AND THE DEFENSE of socialism were to be fought by convincing the general public of the benefits OF FREE ENTERPRISE, 1940–1985 of free enterprise and assisting the non-socialists parties to return to power. This study analyzes business counter-reactions: its attempt to influence public opinion through PR-campaigns, public protests, research financing, press sub- sidies, and political donations. Applying theories on interest group formation and with access to previously closed archives, it finds that it was the level of radicalism within the internationally uniquely strong Swedish labor movement which incentivized business to act. It also analyzes the previously unresearched connections between Swedish employers and pro-market organizations abroad, including the relationship between prominent free-market economists and pub- lic-relations experts within the Swedish business community. In addition to shedding new light on how organized business tried to reach its Westerberg Rikard political goals during the Cold War era, the thesis helps us understand how ideas of deregulation, competition, and individual choice got a foothold in a country so characterized by social democracy.

    ‘New Gustavians’: Sweden, Europe and the Return of the Eighteenth Century during the 1990s Crisis By Andreas Mørkved Hellenes Abstract The early 1990s saw Sweden severely hit by financial crisis, electoral upheaval and a swift reorientation within political elites resulting in an application to join the European Union (EU). Based on a case study of the Swedish blockbuster exhibition project The Sun and the North Star in Paris during spring 1994, this article argues that the early 1990s represent a key transition period for the renegotiation of the relationship between business, politics and culture in Swedish foreign promotion and cultural diplomacy. In a wide-ranging campaign launched in France ahead of the Swedish referendum on European membership, political communication, cultural heritage narratives, and export promotion were brought together in an ambitious national identity political project that showcased a new, liberal-conservative and inherently European Sweden. Keywords: Sweden, public diplomacy, European membership, material culture, Gustavianism, nation branding. Mørkved Hellenes, Andreas: “‘New Gustavians’.

Suspecting that Mitterrand was not keen to accept the deal, Rocard tried to sweeten the pill by alluding to Sweden’s advanced social organisation and welfare state.
