  • Big Brother Sweden: Critics Force Snoop Law Postponement
    Big Brother Sweden: Critics force snoop law postponement By Global Research Region: Europe Global Research, June 18, 2008 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights thelocal.se 18 June 2008 Swedish lawmakers have agreed to postpone plans for the passing into law of a controversial surveillance bill following an emotional debate in the Riksdag on Tuesday evening. A last gasp appeal from the Centre Party was accepted by the government, which promised to strengthen the law with regard to civil liberties. Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said his Moderate Party would back the amendments proposed by dissenting members of parliament in the governing coalition. Rather than facing a straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote on Wednesday morning, the government’s proposal is expected to be referred back to the parliament’s defence committee for further consultation. Centre Party MP Fredrick Federley made an emotional plea to his coalition partners on Tuesday evening to rethink the proposed legislation. “The pros and cons need to be weighed up very carefully before reaching what is a very, very difficult decision. Certain issues are of so much greater importance than others that we must give them whatever time it takes,” he said. Federley added that signal surveillance could sometimes be necessitated, but not in the form set out in the current proposal. He then asked Defence Minister Sten Tolgfors whether the government intended taking further steps to guarantee the protection of civil liberties. Such a move would be decisive if he were to vote in favour of the law, said Federley. A year after the bill was first put on ice following pressure from the opposition, the government eventually agreed to take another look at the proposed legislation.

  • Migration Between Politics, Journalism and PR New Conditions for Power, Citizenship and Democracy?
    10.2478/nor-2014-0109 Nordicom Review 35 (2014) Special Issue, pp. 141-153 Migration between Politics, Journalism and PR New Conditions for Power, Citizenship and Democracy? Göran Palm & Håkan Sandström Abstract In this article we present a preliminary theoretical background and some empirical findings concerning a migrating trend between the fields of politics, PR and journalism: one day a political reporter, the next a communication officer; one day a PR consultant, the next a state secretary. To understand contemporary politics one must, we argue, comprehend the convergence between three fields of power holders that together form the realm of politics and communication: elite politicians, elite political reporters and elite communication/PR officers. Together, they form a communication elite that sets the parameters for the public discourse on politics. When politics is produced and constructed in, and through, social networks formed by elite agents from politics, journalism and PR, what does this mean for how democracy is worked out and what does it mean for citizenship in general? Keywords: communication elites, convergence, politics, public relations, journalism, de- mocracy Introduction This text can be seen as a starting point for a research project – Post-politics in Medi- aocracy: the structural transformation of political communication – dealing with the fundamentals of contemporary Swedish politics and democracy. The basic outline of the project concerns social power, power agents and the production and construction of ‘the political’. In focus are the agents that form the realm of politics and political communication, that is, those agents that possess the resources to produce a dominant discourse – a basic knowledge structure – of politics and democracy, but also how this agency is socially and culturally contextualized.

  • Mjuka Män Och Hårda Kvinnor
    Mjuka män och hårda kvinnor – en kvalitativ textanalys om hur kön gestaltas när politiker gästar Skavlan Författare: Emelie Hagbard Lisa Jalakas Handledare: Monika Djerf-Pierre Journalistprogrammet VT 2013 Abstract In this study we have explored how gender is constructed when politicians visit the Swedish talk show Skavlan. This has been done by using the qualitative textual analysis ECA (Ethnographic Content Analysis). Our theoretical points of departure are the interaction between politics and media, the structure of the talk show format and gender theories. Our premise has been that gender is a social and cultural construction that can be both reproduced and renegotiated. A central part of our study has been to analyse the balance of power in the conversation and how this balance may change. Our outset has been that everyone takes part in producing the discourse in which they act. To be able to map out how gender and power is renegotiated in Skavlan we have applied four analytical themes on our material: the interviewer’s (Fredrik Skavlan’s) role in the conversation, the politician’s role in the conversations, the themes of the conversation and how gender is explicitly made visible. Gender is made visible in various ways in the interviews. In general the female politicians are distinguished as deviating from the masculine norm in politics. However, we also found that the male politicians often are described and describe themselves with features that have traditionally been considered feminine. The opposite applies for the female politicians. Furthermore, we found that the male politicians spoke more about their private lives, while the female politicians focused on the professional.

  • General Elections in Sweden from Corinne Deloy Th Translated by Helen Levy 19 September 2010
    SWEDEN European Elections monitor General Elections in Sweden from Corinne Deloy th Translated by Helen Levy 19 September 2010 On 19th September next 7 million Swedes are being called to renew all of their MPs: both national ANALYSIS (members of the Riksdag, the only Chamber of Parliament) and local (town councils and county councils). Norwegians and Icelanders who live in the kingdom, those with a nationality of another State but registered as resident in Sweden for the last three consecutive years and citizens of the 26 other EU Member States will be entitled to vote in the local elections. With regard to the general election voters can vote by post in advance in all of the country’s post offices during the 18 days preceding the election i.e. as from 1st September. If they so wish they can cancel their postal vote by returning to the ballot box on Election Day. 497,000 Swedes will be voting for the first time on 19th September next i.e. +15% in comparison with the last general elections on 17th September 2006, representing 9% of all voters. Finally 132,780 Swedes living abroad will be taking part in the election. Just one month from the election the result is still uncertain. Many political analysts believe that the election will be fought out in the centre. In a SIFO poll in July 36% of Swedes said they tended to the right, 24% to the left and 33% to the centre. Another poll in July showed that 46% of voters thought that the Alliance forces, in office at present, were going to win on 19th September whilst 40% were forecasting a change in government and therefore a victory for the left.

    PR, politics and democracy Sigurd Allern UNIVERSITY OFbOSLO, NORWAY ABSTRACT: Th is article examines the relationship between politics and public relations, based on re- cent developments in Sweden and Norway. It has become increasingly common for PR fi rms to off er well-paid job opportunities for former politicians. Th en, aft er some years as advisors in public aff airs, including lobbying activity, some of them return to politics as members of the government, press of- fi cers or advisors. Th e article discusses the background for this development, and poses some ques- tions concerning integrity and the possible consequences for democracy. KEYWORDS: public relations, lobbying, politics, integrity, democracy INTRODUCTION Public relations consultants cover many areas of communication and perform a range of roles. One type of modern PR much in demand concerns public aff airs: stakeholders who want to infl uence political decisions and legislation buy advice and services concerning media initiatives and lobbying. In this marketplace, former politicians have found opportunities for new careers as well-paid PR consultants. Th ey can then render their services to clients for a fee without being accused of cor- ruption, as would be the case if they still were members of the government or parlia- ment. One of the most spectacular events in Scandinavia in this context was when Sweden’s former Prime Minister Göran Persson1 joined the PR fi rm JKL aft er the Social Democratic Party lost the national elections in 2006. In Norway, two of the country’s best-known and most experienced politicians, one of them a cabi- net minister, announced their transition to PR consultant companies just aft er the 2009 national elections.2 All these cases gave rise to public debates about 1 Göran Persson served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 1996 to 2006 and was the leader of the Sweden’s Social Democratic Party from 2006 to 2007.
