  • Between Populism and Socialism: Slovenia’S Left Party Alen Toplišek
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge in The Populist Radical Left in Europe on 14 March 2019, available online: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315180823-4 Between populism and socialism: Slovenia’s Left party Alen Toplišek Abstract This chapter offers the first in-depth study of both structural and agential factors behind the emergence and electoral breakthrough of a new radical left party in Slovenia, the Left. It defines the party’s ideological profile and it analyses its tactics of party competition through a selection of concrete examples. It concludes by outlining two possible trajectories for the future electoral and organisational development of the party. Introduction The Left (Levica) is a relative newcomer in the Slovenian party system and the European Populist Radical Left (PRL) party family more widely. Formally established in March 2014 as a coalition party under the name of the United Left, it managed to surpass the 4% electoral threshold in the July 2014 parliamentary elections with 5.97% of the popular vote. The electoral result translated into six seats in a 90-member National Assembly, putting the new party on a par with the traditional party on the Slovenian Left, the Social Democrats, which was their worst electoral result since Slovenia’s independence in 1991. The novelty of the United Left was notable not only in terms of its electoral breakthrough in July 2014, but also regarding its founding organisational structure and its organic ties with new left social movements. The United Left was a coalition of three smaller parties and the ‘fourth bloc,’ which represented social movements and individuals: (1) Initiative for Democratic Socialism (IDS); (2) Democratic Labour Party (DSD); (3) the Party for the Sustainable Development of Slovenia (TRS); and (4) civil society movements and individuals.

  • The Illiberal Turn: Aid Conditionalis and the Queering of Sexual Citizenship
    PIA LASKAR The Illiberal Turn: Aid Conditionalis and the Queering of Sexual Citizenship ON MARCH 5, 2014, Sweden’s Minister for International Development Cooperation, Hillevi Engström (from right wing ruling party, Mo- deraterna), declared that Sweden would withhold their aid to Uganda because of the country’s new anti-gay law, denoting that ”repeated ho- mosexual acts” can bring life imprisonment (Svenska Dagbladet 2014).1 The Netherlands had, directly after Uganda’s president Yoweri Mu- seveni had signed the anti-gay bill into law on February 24, 2014 (Mor- gan 2014), announced that they would freeze aid, while Denmark and Norway said they would redirect its bi-lateral aid to non-governmental organizations and human rights groups. In a poll linked to a feature on the Ugandan law, conducted by the Swedish gay-magazine QX on February 27, 2014, a majority (65 %) of QX’s readers voted to stop Swed- ish aid to Uganda immediately, whereas 28 % wanted to stop only the bi-lateral aid (QX 2014). Only 3 % believed it was the wrong way to go. That states threatens or chooses to cut aid, to push for LGBT rights, is not something new. Already in late 2011, both the British Prime Minister David Cam- eron and the U.S. Foreign Minister Hillary Clinton declared that Brit- ish and U.S. aid to countries that do not recognize LGBT rights would be suspended. However, Cameron and Clinton’s threats resulted in that many African political leaders, after the statements, made it clear that they would not allow themselves to be dictated by foreign powers in this lambda nordica 1/2014 © Föreningen Lambda Nordica 2014 matter.

  • 4 Polisspåret
    SOU 1999:88 271 4 Polisspåret Kapitlets innehåll I detta kapitel redovisas vår granskning beträffande polisspåret. Inled- ningsvis diskuterar vi något kring begreppet, varvid vi gör en åtskillnad mellan polisspåret och de enskilda polisärenden, som förekommer i utredningsmaterialet. Vi har bedömt det som nödvändigt att uppehålla oss en hel del vid bakgrunden till den misstro som funnits mot delar av Stockholms- polisen, en misstro som enligt vår analys utgör en viktig del av diskussionen kring polisspåret. Kapitlet innefattar därför redogörelser för bl.a. den s.k. Norrmalmsutredningen och Stockholms polisstyrelses utredning angående högerextremism inom Stockholmspolisen. I kapitlet finns vidare en beskrivning av hur polisspåret på ett mer övergripande plan hanterats inom Palmeutredningen samt av den ut- redning som bedrivits och dess resultat. Vi har delat in framställningen i uppslag som är inriktade på enskilda polismän, teorier som berör polisen i allmänhet och sådant som inte nödvändigtvis behöver gälla polisen men som ändå kopplats till polisspåret. Polisspåret som term förekommer inte inom Palmeutredningen. En redogörelse för den utredning som kan sägas ha förekommit i denna del har därför inte någon självklar avgränsning. Vi tar upp sådant som vi uppfattat som någorlunda levande föreställningar i diskussionen kring polisspåret i den mån det återspeglas i Palmeutredningens material. Någon egen utredning av sådant som Palmeutredningen inte gjort men kanske kunde ha gjort har vi inte, här lika lite som i andra delar, engagerat oss i. Av det sagda följer att allt som sagts och skrivits om polisspåret inte tas upp i betänkandet. Det kan bero på att vi själva inte uppmärksammat det eller på att vi inte bedömt det som tillräckligt substantiellt för att beröra i ett sammanhang som detta och att det inte finns någon dokumenterad utredning att redovisa.

  • The Radical Right and the End of Swedish Exceptionalism
    Eur Polit Sci https://doi.org/10.1057/s41304-018-0159-6 SYMPOSIUM The radical right and the end of Swedish exceptionalism Jens Rydgren1 · Sara van der Meiden1 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Fifteen years ago, Rydgren (Scand Polit Stud 25(1):27–56, 2002) asked why no electorally successful radical right-wing party had yet emerged in Sweden. In this respect, Sweden was a negative case. Rydgren posited four main explana- tions: (1) social class mattered more in Sweden than elsewhere. Working-class vot- ers identifed strongly with their social class and with the Social Democratic party, making them largely unavailable to radical right-wing mobilization; (2) socioeco- nomic issues still structured most politics in Sweden, and issues belonging to the sociocultural dimension—most importantly immigration—were of low salience for voters; (3) voters still perceived clear policy alternatives across the left-right divide; and (4) the leading radical right-wing alternative, the Sweden Democrats, was per- ceived as being too extreme. Since 2010, however, Sweden can no longer be con- sidered a negative case, and in this article, we argue that in order to understand the rise and growth of the Sweden Democrats, we should focus on changes in the factors enumerated above. Keywords Class voting · Radical right · Realignment · Sweden * Jens Rydgren [email protected] Sara van der Meiden [email protected] 1 Department of Sociology, Stockholm University, 10691 Stockholm, Sweden J.

  • Generations at War Or Sustainable Social Policy in Aging Societies?
    Lindh, Thomas, Malmberg, Bo & Joakim Palme Generations at War or Sustainable Social Policy in Aging Societies? Forthcoming in the Journal of Political Philosophy, 14 (#3, Sept 2005) Arbetsrapport/Institutet för Framtidsstudier; 2005:15 ISSN 1652-120X ISBN 91-89655-73-7 Generations at War or Sustainable Social Policy in Aging Societies? THOMAS LINDH, BO MALMBERG and JOAKIM PALME1 Institute for Futures Studies, Stockholm 1 Authors wish to thank Bob Goodin and James Fishkin for very valuable comments, and Nic Southwood for excellent copy-editing. I. Intergenerational Justice: Judging the Unknown Future A popular legend recounts how a boy in ancient times accompanies his father and his grandfather as they embark on a ritual journey intended to end with the grandfather’s voluntary death, as he is no longer self-supportive. The boy takes pity on his grandfather and persuades his father to promise to support the old man until his natural death in exchange for a promise from the boy to do the same for his father when the time comes. The story reflects a social contractarian approach to generational equity based on reciprocity across generations. It is likely to have had little relevance for actual historical development. Anthropological and economic research indicates that the few persons surviving to old age in hunter-gatherer societies constituted a substantial asset to the community rather than a burden, not only supporting themselves but actually producing quite large surpluses to help care for young dependents. Following Laslett, we can observe that with the industrial revolution and the demographic transition people survived in increasing numbers into an age where capabilities had deteriorated to the point of becoming dependent on the younger generation.2 This created an old-age issue and contributed to the creation of statutory pension systems and other elements of what turned into the modern welfare state.
