The Political Incorporation of Women in Sweden (1921-1960)
FAMILY, GENDER NORMS AND SOCIAL CLASS: THE POLITICAL INCORPORATION OF WOMEN IN SWEDEN (1921-1960) (February 7th, 2021) 1 Carles Boix 2, Zsuzsanna Magyar 3 and Jordi Muñoz 4 Abstract Women’s voting behavior has been historically defined by three stylized facts: at the time of their enfranchisement, they voted less than men did; their participation varied with social status; and they gradually caught up with men, first among high-status urban groups and last in rural areas. To account for these tendencies, we develop a theory that links women’s probability to vote to their position in the family and type of gender norms that were prevalent in their social milieu. Among women in social environments in which traditional gender norms were more pervasive, political participation was highly dependent on marriage and intra-family mobilization: unmarried women voted infrequently; married women, however, internalizing the interests of their households and abiding by the norms that governed family life, approximated their husband’s voting rate. By contrast, for those groups that already displayed more modern norms and practices, mainly urban educated women, electoral participation was less dependent on their marital status, and the overall female-male turnout gap much lower. Our model integrates but moves beyond standard participation models that underline the role of individual resources (and the mobilization of political organizations) in the decision to vote. We test it employing a unique set of official turnout data for elections in Sweden between 1921 – the first election in which women had the right to vote – and 1960, recording participation by gender, occupational group, marital status, and (for some elections), regional district of all eligible voters. -
Politics & Science in Sweden
Politics & Science in Sweden VA Report 2006:5 Facts about the study Politicians can greatly influence the public’s attitude to science. It matters greatly how politicians view knowledge, science and science’s role in society. An active dialogue between politicians and researchers is essential and the success or otherwise of the interaction between the two groups can have a far-reaching impact. For these reasons, the For me, it isn’t a Swedish organisation Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Public and Science) hockey match that we are playing, but music, has carried out a three-part study into the relationship between poli- and that should be ticians and researchers: played together.

Technology • An analysis was carried out into the science-related material in a selection of publications from parliamentary political parties and their youth organizations aimed specifically at the party mem- bership. The analysis covered the extent of scientific reporting, subjects covered and how the material was presented. (VA-report 2006:3 Science in the Political Press). • A collection of in-depth essays and interviews was commissioned and published. Nine researchers and nine politicians discuss how they see the relationship between researchers and politicians. (VA- report 2006:4 Kunskapsbiten, 18 röster om relationen forskare – politiker). A summary of the study Politics and Science (VA-report 2006:5) will be presented here. It is hoped that these results will stimulate poli- ticians to ask questions about science and also intensify the dialogue between researchers, politicians and the public. -
Fredrik Reinfeldt
2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference. Possible further photo opportunities will be announced later. Accreditation is required through the MFA International Press Centre. Applications close on 4 June at 18.00. -

Press Invitation
2014 Press release 14 May 2014 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Press invitation: Stockholm Internet Forum This year's Stockholm Internet Forum (SIF14) will take place at the Brewery Conference Centre (Münchenbryggeriet) on 27-28 May. Some 450 participants from 90 countries will meet to discuss the theme 'The internet: privacy, transparency, surveillance and control'. Time and place 27-28 May Brewery Conference Centre (Münchenbryggeriet) Freedom and security on the internet is one of the major global issues of the future and one of the highest priorities of Swedish foreign policy. SIF is a unique forum for in-depth discussions on how freedom and openness on the internet promote human rights and development in the world. Decision-makers, civil society, businesses, academia and the technical community will be represented. Half of the participants will be from low-and middle-income countries - often from places where internet freedom is restricted and efforts to promote it can be downright dangerous. The many participants will include: Jillian York from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Shahzad Ahmad from the Pakistani internet freedom organisation Bytes4All, Anja Kovacs from the Internet Democracy Project in New Delhi, and OSCE media representative Dunja Mijatovic. See the link below for the complete list of participants. SIF is arranged by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Sida and .SE. All panel sessions will be broadcast live on stockholminternetforum.se. Those not attending in person can put questions to the panels via Twitter using the hashtag #SIF14. Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt will host the conference, but Minister for International Development Cooperation Hillevi Engström and Minister for Information Technology Anna-Karin Hatt will also attend. -

Amanda Schar Swedish Culture﹘ Swedish History Spring 2018 Dr. Tobias Berglund Uppsala University 2 This paper discusses several aspects of the Swedish welfare state and whether or not they represent a successfully feminist form of government. It compares these aspects of the Swedish government to the United State’s government. Therefore, this paper satisfies the parameters of this award as a culture studies piece. This paper discusses both modernity in Swedish society as well as the migration of ideas, particularly feminist ideas between Sweden and the rest of the Western world. It also helped to make Scandinavian Studies relevant to my life by looking at feminism in the government through a Swedish model.
