After its successful EU election in May, the party is set to influence energy policies and both national- and EU levels. By global standards Sweden has long been seen as a leader in climate-friendly growth, and governments of both persuasions have pursued pro-climate policies. Indeed, in his farewell speech Carl Bildt celebrated Sweden’s achievements in low-carbon growth, citing that GDP has risen by 60 per cent since 1990 while greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 25 per cent, a period of time that spanned both Social Democrat and Alliance governments. But the introduction of the Green Party to Swedish government looks set to turn Swedish energy policy a much deeper shade of green. Sweden has been able to achieve this growth by utilising its plentiful renewables resources. Currently half of Sweden’s electricity production comes from hydro-power. Sweden’s forests have an abundance of biomass that can also be used for electricity and heating, and there are many good locations for wind-energy too. However, the country has also placed a heavy reliance on nuclear energy. About 40 per cent of Swedish electricity generation is made by 10 nuclear reactors that were built in the 1970s and 1980s. The oldest reactors are scheduled to be closed down in the 2020s, and despite a 1980 referendum which voted to phase out nuclear, the policy of the outgoing Alliance government was to allow Vattenfall, a state-owner utility to build new reactors to replace the ones being retired. Green Policies The emergence of the Swedish Green party , founded in 1981, was sparked by the anti-nuclear power movement following the 1980 nuclear power referendum. The Greens’ party platform describe their ideology as being based on "a solidarity that can be expressed in three ways: solidarity with animals, nature, and the ecological system", "solidarity with coming generations", and "solidarity with all of the world's people". The party is by its nature, anti-nuclear, and fighting climate change is high on its agenda. In contrast, the Social Democrats have been more equivocal on environment and energy policies, balancing their preference for a nuclear free, low-carbon Sweden with the need to create growth and jobs. Löfven has been quoted as saying that nuclear power would be needed for the foreseeable future. Given this, it should not have been a surprise that energy policy would be a core issue for the Greens to negotiate as they discuss forming the coalition government with their larger partner. An agreement has apparently been reached already, with the two parties announcing this week that they intend to set up an energy commission. After the announcement Löfven said that ‘The government's starting point is that nuclear power must be dismantled, we must have 100 per cent renewable energy’, while in their statement the Greens said that ‘An energy commission will be convened for cross-party discussions on energy policies with the aim of framing a long-term, sustainable energy agreement’. But, while there may seem to be an in- principle agreement about the direction of policy, there is less clarity about the pace and the depth of reforms. The Green Party’s election manifesto calls for two nuclear reactors to be closed down during this electoral period. The Greens’ spokesperson Åsa Romson said that this would easily be met, as increased safety and security requirements ended the functional life of older reactors. However, Mr Löfven seems to leave room for other interpretations on nuclear, saying ‘To have a long-term discussion that is going to lead somewhere, you shouldn't start by saying we should go this way or that way. Instead, you should keep the situation as it is now’1. 1 http://www.businessinsider.com/r-swedens-incoming-coalition-to-set-up-energy-commission-2014-10 3 The October issue, 2014 A heavy impact on Swedish industry? Whilst public support for the announcement may be positive, Swedish industry is far from enthused. And unlike some of its neighbours the Swedish economy still retains a significant proportion of heavy industry and manufacturing. Vattenfall, the company most immediately affected, claimed that closing nuclear plants would force Sweden to import ‘fossil energy’. An industry lobby group representing energy-intensive industries declared it ‘very worrying… Sweden's basic industry is put at risk if the door to new nuclear power is closed.’2 The Greens and the Social Democrats may find it easier to get aligned on renewables. Also included in Wednesday’s announcement was a commitment to increase the amount of renewable energy production by 2020 from 25TWh to 30TWh3. Sweden currently runs a marketplace for renewable ‘electricity-certificates’, and the parties have said that they will extend the schemes life from 2020 to 2030. EU ramifications? Under the Alliance Sweden has had one of the more ‘pro-climate’ policies within Europe. Sweden was one of the founders of the ‘Green Growth Group’ of EU countries, that has since grown to 14 countries, and the former Minister for the Environment, Lena Ek initiated the New Climate Economy project that was

  • 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.

  • Sweden and Ecological Governance
    lundqvist jkt 1/20/04 11:52 AM Page 1 ISSUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS Sweden is seen as a forerunner in environmental and ecological policy. Sweden andecologicalgovernance Sweden and ecological governance is about policies and strategies for Sweden and ecologically rational governance, and uses the Swedish case study to ask whether or not it is possible to move from a traditional environmental ecological governance policy to a broad, integrated pursuit of sustainable development, as illustrated through the ‘Sustainable Sweden’ programme. Straddling the fence The study begins by looking at the spatial dimensions of ecological governance, and goes on to consider the integration and effectiveness of sustainable development policies. It analyses the tension between democracy and sustainable development, which has a broader relevance beyond the Swedish model, to other nation states as well as the European Union as a whole. In this book the author offers the latest word in advanced implementation of sustainable development by a front-runner in environmental and ecological policy. It will be useful for students of environmental politics and sustainable development researchers. Lennart J.

  • The Ecology of Power in Sweden's Environmental Governance
    Implementation from Above: The Ecology of Power in Sweden’s Environmental Governance LENNART J. LUNDQVIST* This paper seeks to assess the tenability of Rhodes’ view of the “new gover- nance” as “governing without government,” as well as the validity of Pierre and Peters’ assertions that the state is still at the center of structures and processes of governance. The case used for analysis is Sweden’s ecologi- cal modernization and the implementation of Local Investment Programs for Sustainable Development. This case provides a crucial test of the contra- dictory propositions of Rhodes and Pierre and Peters. Contrary to Rhodes’ assertions, central government held the initiative in the process of imple- menting Sweden’s ecological modernization. In line with the arguments of Pierre and Peters, central government created new structures and processes of governance to keep its initiative over constitutionally independent expert agencies and municipal governments—exactly those actors that, in Rhodes’ view, could make central governmental steering well nigh impossible. As the paper illustrates, what government gains in direct control over the process, it may well lose in terms of the end results. The case of “new governance” analyzed here thus directs attention to the critical interplay between structure, process, and end results, and to government’s role in governance. FROM GOVERNING TO GOVERNANCE: CHANGING ECOLOGY OF POWER? The political landscape no longer seems familiar. Accepted notions such as “hierarchy,” “regulation,” and even “government” are held inade- quate to describe how society is governed. Instead, we are urged to use such concepts as “networks,” “mutual adjustment,” and “cooperative management” to outline and understand the structures and processes of governance.

Taxonomy of Minority Governments LISA LA FORNARA INTRODUCTION A minority government in its most basic form is a government in which the party holding the most parliamentary seats still has fewer than half the seats in parliament and therefore cannot pass legislation or advance policy without support from unaffiliated parties.1 Because seats in minority parliaments are more evenly distributed amongst multiple parties, opposition parties have greater opportunity to block legislation. A minority government must therefore negotiate with external parties and adjust its policies to garner the majority of votes required to advance its initiatives.2 This paper serves as a taxonomy of minority governments in recent history and proceeds in three parts.

  • Mr. Stefan Löfven Prime Minister of Sweden Government Offices Rosenbad 4 SE-103 33 Stockholm Sweden Open Letter to Heads of EU
    Mr. Stefan Löfven Prime Minister of Sweden Government Offices Rosenbad 4 SE-103 33 Stockholm Sweden Open Letter to heads of EU member states Subject: Human Rights in Azerbaijan on the eve of the Eastern Partnership Summit Brussels, 27 October 2017, Dear Mr. Stefan Löfven, We, the undersigned organisations, are writing ahead of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s visit to Brussels to participate in the 5th Eastern Partnership Summit on 24 November. We urge you to use any opportunity you will have during the summit to call on president Aliyev to end the human rights crackdown and commit to concrete and sustainable human rights reforms in Azerbaijan. These include releasing individuals imprisoned on bogus, politically motivated charges; and reforming legislation that effectively prevents independent non-governmental organisations from operating and accessing funding. Among the 20 Deliverables for the Eastern Partnership by 2020, the European Union has, notably, identified a vibrant civil society as a pre-requisite for “democratic, stable, prosperous and resilient communities and nations.”1 Yet in recent years, the Azerbaijani government’s actions sharply contradict the latter and the spirit of this important Eastern Partnership commitment. Azerbaijan has adopted and enforced laws and regulations that severely restrict, rather than foster, a vibrant civil society. It has eliminated independent media, heavily filtered internet, and imprisoned and otherwise sought to silence independent journalists, civic and political activists who are essential to any kind of civil society envisaged by the Eastern Partnership. The government’s continued crackdown on civil society and independent media has coincided with negotiations on the new, enhanced bilateral agreement between the EU and Azerbaijan.

An Analysis of Winning Minority Governments in Sweden. Torbjörn Bergman, Department of Political Science, Umeå University, S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden. ISSN 0349-0831, Research Report 1995:1 Distribution: Department of Political Science, Umeå University, S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden Abstract This study starts with two theoretical puzzles within the rational choice oriented literature on government formation in parliamentary democracies: the relative importance of constitutional rules and the existence of multiple party goals. From these puzzles stem the research questions that guide the study: First, what is the theoretical and empirical link between constitutional arrangements (including rules) and party goals? Second, what are the goals of political parties and how can these be studied? Third, relative to the goals of political parties and other constitutional arrangements, what is the importance of government formation rules for the empirical record of minority and majority governments? Coalition theory provides the theoretical starting point from which the research questions stem. The historical-institutional strand of new institutionalism is used to guide the general understanding of the importance of institutional context.
