    FINNISH NATIONAL DEFENCE UNIVERSITY SWEDISH STRATEGIC CULTURE IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA: A CASE STUDY OF SWEDISH MILITARY STRATEGIC DOCTRINE Diploma Thesis Captain Oscar Lassenius General Staff Officer Course 59 Army August 2020 Course Branch General staff officer course 59 Army Author Captain Oscar Lassenius Title SWEDISH STRATEGIC CULTURE IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA: A CASE STUDY OF SWEDISH MILITARY STRATEGIC DOCTRINE Research field Place of Storage Strategy Finnish National Defence University Library Date Text pages 95 Appendix pages 5 August 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on change in strategic culture. The research studied Swedish strategic culture in its normative form as coded in military strategic doctrine. Through a study of strategic norms, the research aimed at clarifying if Swedish strategic culture has changed during the Post-Cold War era. The aim of the research was thus to identify how change in Strategic Culture can be observed, in which way, how and why Swedish strategic culture has changed. The research draws from a fourth-generation interpretation on theory of strategic culture focusing on subcultures and change. Following an interpretivist approach a constructivist framework was adopted where strategic norms and their relationship with state identity, interests, policy and doctrine are central. Swedish strategic culture was described through the study of norms regarding threat perception, use of force and role of doctrine. Change in strategic culture was analyzed in changes of influence from three subcultures: policy, military and academic. The study was structured as a three- case case study. Subcultures of Swedish strategic culture, as well as the role and position of the Swedish military strategic doctrine were defined in order to enable an analysis of norms and their subcultural influences in cases constructed around each of the different versions of Swedish military strategic doctrine.
