About 60 million refugees were forced to flee their homes and about one third of them were seeking protection in Europe. Sweden was one of the countries that received most refugees per capita before they decided that they could not handle the situation any more. This paper examines the discursive representation of refugees by the Swedish government, and especially the discursive change that occurred in November, 2015. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, the study focus on four texts provided by the government. The study compares the discourse of these four texts with the drastic increase of refugees during the time period to examine how that affected the discourse. The analysis reveals that the government had the ambition to persist to their ideological standpoints in their discourse. However, since the actions they implemented strived against their ideologies their discourse became confound and repetitive. At the same time as the government tried to draw on their ideology of solidarity, they used discourse strategies connected to an elite racism discourse to defend their actions. Previous research says that discourse change is characterized by conversely or inconsistent elements, and this study has come to the same conclusion. The government seemed “forced” to change their discourse which led to an inconsistency of styles and vocabulary. The government still tried to use a humane discourse, but when they presented their new policy they distanced themselves from the refugees by using aggregation or simply removing them as actors.

Another 6.6 million Syrians are internally displaced. The war in Syria has created the biggest refugee and displacement crisis of our time (unhcr.org). The amount of refugees seeking asylum in EU put the fundamental principles for a regulated migration out of play. Since July 2015, the development has reached a dimension that puts higher demands on both the EU- cooperation, and individual countries ability to handle the massive increase of refugees. In Sweden, one of the most important political questions among the people during 2015 relates to immigration and integration issues (Sifo 1, 2015). At the end of August, the media reports about sunken boats in the Mediterranean Sea and hundreds of refugees found dead, and yet other reports regarding the finding of 50 asphyxiated refugees in a truck in Austria (Asplid, Lindén and Lundberg, 2015). Just one week later, September 2, 2015, the iconic picture depicting a three-year-old boy washed up on a Turkish beach made global headlines. The image of the drown three year old boy was an “eye-opener” for the western world about the war in Syria, and suddenly politicians and government´s all over the (western) world realised that they needed to shape a more human approach to immigration and integration issues (Kingsley and Timur, 2015). On September 6, 2015 Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven delivered a speech at a gathering for refugees stating “My Europe do not build walls” (regeringen.se, authors translation). Within only three months the Swedish government’s discourse on refugees changed drastically. From being one of the most open and supportive countries towards refugees, Sweden became

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.

  • State of Populism in Europe
    2018 State of Populism in Europe The past few years have seen a surge in the public support of populist, Eurosceptical and radical parties throughout almost the entire European Union. In several countries, their popularity matches or even exceeds the level of public support of the centre-left. Even though the centre-left parties, think tanks and researchers are aware of this challenge, there is still more OF POPULISM IN EUROPE – 2018 STATE that could be done in this fi eld. There is occasional research on individual populist parties in some countries, but there is no regular overview – updated every year – how the popularity of populist parties changes in the EU Member States, where new parties appear and old ones disappear. That is the reason why FEPS and Policy Solutions have launched this series of yearbooks, entitled “State of Populism in Europe”. *** FEPS is the fi rst progressive political foundation established at the European level. Created in 2007 and co-fi nanced by the European Parliament, it aims at establishing an intellectual crossroad between social democracy and the European project. Policy Solutions is a progressive political research institute based in Budapest. Among the pre-eminent areas of its research are the investigation of how the quality of democracy evolves, the analysis of factors driving populism, and election research.

I argue that leadership selection is dependent on both the electoral institution that a party finds itself in and the intra-party dynamics that constrain the party. Due to a high degree of seat- vote elasticity that is characteristic of majoritarian systems, replacing unpopular leaders is a feasible strategy for opposition parties in these systems to increase their seat shares. In contrast, in proportional systems, due to low seat-vote elasticity, on average opposition parties that replace their leaders su↵er from vote loss. My model of party leadership selection shows that since party members can provide valuable election campaign e↵ort, they can coerce those who select the party leader (the selectorate) into choosing their preferred leader.

En studie om riksdagsledamöters retorik angående asylsökande och flyktingar hösten 2015 utifrån Köpenhamnsskolans säkerhetiseringsteori.

En studie om riksdagsledamöters retorik angående asylsökande och flyktingar hösten 2015 utifrån Köpenhamnsskolans säkerhetiserings- teori. Josefina Wallin Sammanfattning Denna studie har undersökt om retoriken kring asyl- och flyktingfrågan ändrades bland riksdagsledamöter under hösten 2015 utifrån Köpenhamnsskolans säkerhetiseringsteori. Detta har möjliggjorts genom processpårning som metodologiskt tillvägagångssätt där riksdags- och regeringsdokument analyserats genom säkerhetiseringsteorin. Studiens analys visar att flyktingar och asylsökande framställdes som ett existentiellt hot gentemot det svenska samhällets funktionalitet i slutet av hösten 2015 och de sedvanliga politiska rutinerna frångicks i hanteringen av frågan. En fullständig säkerhetisering skedde således i december 2015 i samband med proposition 2015/16:67 ”Särskilda åtgärder vid allvarlig fara för den allmänna ordningen eller den inre säkerheten i landet”. Dock visar studiens resultat att det finns en otydlighet i säkerhetiseringsteorins definitioner av nyckelbegreppet säkerhetiseringsaktör.

  • Sweden: Prime Minister Steps Down Ahead of Next Year's Election
    22 August 2021 Sweden: Prime minister steps down ahead of next year’s election Torbjörn Isaksson Prime minister Stefan Löfven announced today that he will in November resign as party chairman for the Social Democrats as well as prime minister. Löfven resigns for personal reasons. The timing of his announcement came as a surprise. He has been head of the Social Democrats since 2012 and prime minister since 2014. Löfven’s resignation could make the already tricky political situation even more complicated as the government must step down if the new candidate for prime minister is not accepted by the Riksdag. It is uncertain whether the Left Party and the Center Party will once again accept a government with the Social Democrats and the Greens. However, the first challenge for the government is the budget bill for 2022 due 20 September. The budget process will be led by Löfven and Finance Minister Andersson. Löfven has emphasised that if the budget is not accepted by the Riksdag, then the government will resign. The current government has governed on the oppositions’ budget before, though. The red-green government’s budget proposal needs at least indirect support from the Left Party and the Center Party. The Center Party doesn’t accept any negotiations with the Left Party, while the Left Party has presented a list with reforms ahead of the budget. Thus, much suggests that it will be a turbulent autumn for Swedish politics. An extra election is still unlikely. The next general election to the Riksdag is scheduled for September 2022, which will take place even in the case of an extra election before that.
