    Is a Strong Indigenous Industrial Base a Necessary Condition For

    Responding to the crisis: Are policies aimed at a strong indigenous industrial base a necessary condition for sustainable economic growth? Bernadette Andreosso-O’Callaghan and Helena Lenihan1 Abstract We examine whether a strong indigenous manufacturing base is a necessary condition for sustainable economic growth in the case of two small, open economies, Ireland and Sweden. Sweden has been impacted by the economic crisis to a lesser degree than Ireland; we explore (through a manufacturing activity lens) the reasons for the asymmetric impacts and ask if the nature of the shock is related to ‘Economic Sovereignty’ and to the type of industrial policy. We argue Sweden was less affected given that its indigenous firms control the highly export-focussed and technology- based engineering sector whereas in Ireland high-technology sectors are controlled by foreign firms. In terms of policy implications, we suggest that industrial policy should aim for sustainable economic activity and growth such that industrial activity within the economy should be able to minimise the impact of asymmetric shocks such as the current global economic recession. keywords: manufacturing base; economic vulnerability; shock; economic crisis; industrial policy. 1 Department of Economics, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, Ireland.

Such developments have put into question the sustainability of Ireland’s industrial policy which, we argue, has focused most of its efforts on FDI/MNEs to the detriment of an indigenous (largely SME) sector.
  • Was Swedish Approach Regarding COVID-19 Successful in the Term of Economics?

    Was Swedish Approach Regarding COVID-19 Successful in the Term of Economics?

    Was Swedish approach regarding COVID-19 successful in the term of economics? 1 Abstract On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared that Covid-19 is a pandemic. At that time the total number of cases were 118,000 and virus was spread over 110 countries. After that a lot of European countries imposed draconian restrictions. Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and other European countries believed that “Great Lockdown” and strict measures would help to prevent the spread of the virus, but unlike all these countries Sweden chose another way in response to Covid-19. Swedish authorities primarily relied on their citizens' responsibility and didn’t decide to close restaurants, schools, bars, shops and other places of peoples gathering, like the other European countries did. In this paper I can't prove or disprove was this approach successful because it is still an ongoing process and the paper is not about “how successful was Swedish strategy”, in this paper i want to examine the notion “was Swedish approach successful in terms of economics”. To do it, in the first part, I am going to discuss Swedish approach to COVID-19 and its health outcomes, in order to see the whole picture we have to analyse what really this approach means and how it has been different from other European countries approaches. Health outcomes are also very interesting factor, because a lot of scholars believe that Sweden approach failed because country has seen high mortality rate and the cost of it was “saved economics”, but we have examples of countries with draconian restrictions and at the same time with the mortality rate much more higher than Sweden has and finally with help of data, diagram and comparison with other European countries I want to check if this model has been really effective regarding economics.

  • To Become Somebody You Have to Learn Swedish

    To Become Somebody You Have to Learn Swedish

    ARNE FORSMAN TO BECOME SOMEBODY YOU HAVE TO LEARN SWEDISH Somali Children in Sweden This chapter explores the experiences of school among Somali students who attend an independent Muslim School in Sweden. SOMALIS IN SWEDEN Sweden has a population of around ten million people and because approximately ten percent are born overseas, it is now seen as a multi-cultural society. In comparison to other countries in Europe, Sweden accepts the most refugees in relation to its total population. Officially and politically, migrants are considered to be an invaluable resource for the development of Swedish society, both culturally and financially. Historically, migrants have made a great contribution to the Swedish labour market and without their contribution the welfare system in Sweden would not be as strong as it is today. Today, however, there are a significantly higher number of unemployed people among non-native citizens in Sweden. For many years, questions concerning migration and integration have been frequently debated in the political arena. As a result the sustainability and reliability of the government’s immigration and refugee policy has been questioned. The Swedish government has been severely criticised by the United Nations and the European Union over the deportation of people searching for sanctuary and asylum in Sweden. A long history of war and political instability has forced many Somalis to flee their country. The Somali population in Sweden is approximately 70,000 persons. Approximately 35,000 refugees have arrived in Sweden since the 1980s as they flee from war and terror in their native country. Many of these Somali refugees have acquired Swedish citizenship and others have, or are waiting for, a permanent residence permit with probably an unknown number remaining in the country illegally (SCB, 2006).
  • Mental Health Problems and Healing Among Somalis in Sweden*

    Mental Health Problems and Healing Among Somalis in Sweden*

    Mental Health Problems and Healing among Somalis in Sweden* Johan Wedel I. Introduction Refugees are particularly at risk of mental health problems and they often have special needs that must be met if integration into the new country is to succeed.1 However, there is a lack of research that focuses on the refugees’ own perceptions and ideas about mental health.2 One of the largest refugee populations worldwide is the Somalis. It is esti- mated that more than a million have fled their country because of the civil war.3 Many Somalis in the diaspora experience anxiety, marginal- ization, and mental health problems. At the same time, few make use of biomedical health services when suffering. Moreover, there exists a certain mistrust of the biomedical health sector.4 In addition, many Somalis turn to non-Western healing practices when suffering from episodes of ill health.5 Somalis in the diaspora have depression and anxiety related to war, the loss of family members, and afflicting spirits known as jinni or jinn.6 This essay examines ideas and experiences of mental health prob- lems among Somali refugees in Sweden. It explores these issues from an anthropological perspective by emphasizing people’s own words about illness, healing, and well-being. In so doing, the article adds to the knowledge about how Somalis in the diaspora conceptualize and respond to mental illness. 73 Bildhaan Vol. 11 II. Somali-Swedes and Medical Health Care Services About 30,000 Somalis reside in Sweden today.7 Many suffer from health problems. The probability of becoming hospitalized is high among Somalis, both compared to native Swedes and to other immigrants.8 Many also feel discriminated against, stigmatized, and unwanted in Swedish society; a situation that tends to lead to isolation and segrega- tion.

    Swedish Emigration to America and Oregon After World War II

    Swedish Emigration to America and Oregon after World War II L a r s N o r d s t r o m wedish emigration to the United States following World War II is not a widely studied subject, perhaps for the simple reason that it involves a relatively small number of individuals, and perhapsS also because, in comparison to the foreign immigration to Sweden during the last couple of decades, this group is small indeed. If we want to understand the two distinct communities that have emerged in the United States during the last thirty years or so— the Swedish-American community and the scattered groups of utlandssvenskar (expatriate Swedes)— it is helpful to take a broad look at the main currents in modem Swedish emigration. Relying on various statistical sources and earlier research, this article surveys the general character of Swedish emigration following the end of World War II and attempts to answer the following ques­ tions: Where have Swedes emigrated to during this period? How many individuals make up this migratory- flow? What is really meant by the temi “a Swedish emigrant”? How reliable are official statistics in describing the fluid patterns of individuals moving from one coun­ try- to another? What are the proportions between Swedes and Swed- ish-Americans in the state of Oregon today, and what is the size of Swedish immigration compared to other immigrant groups? The second part looks into the main causes behind modem .Swedish emigration to the United States. Perhaps a bit surprisingly, it finds that today it seems just as common to emigrate because one has LARS NORDSTROM is a freelance writer, translator, historian of the Swedes in Oregon, and grower of grapes.
