Uppror och upprorsrörelser har förekommit långt tillbaka i historien. Redan romarna hade problem med upproriska rebellgrupper som vägrade inordna sig Roms lagar. Militärteoretiker har ägnat lång tid åt att försöka analysera bästa möjliga lösning på upproret. Dagens teorier kring uppror är starkt präglade av nuvarande konflikter i Irak och Afghanistan. David Kilcullens teorier utgår från dessa samlade erfarenheter och utgör idag förlaga till en rad nationers strategier för upprorsbekämpning. Risken är att dessa strategier är ett resultat av erfarenheter dragna här och nu.  Syftet med denna studie har varit att pröva i vilken utsträckning Kilcullens teorier är utan orsakssamband och tidlösa då teorierna fått ligga till grund för nationers strategiutveckling avseende upprorsbekämpning. Detta har gjorts genom att Kilcullens teorier prövats mot Gustav Vasas agerande under Dackefejden.  Resultatet av studien visar på stora skillnader när det gäller våldsanvändning. Det går inte att belägga att Kilcullens teorier skulle vara tillämpbara vid en upprorsbekämpning i en historisk konfliktmiljö som präglas av hög grad av strukturerat våld. Studien påvisar dock att Vasa vid flera tillfällen agerade med ickevåldsmetoder som till del går att återfinna i Kilcullens teorier.  Sammantaget påvisar studien resultat som pekar på att Kilcullens teorier besitter ett antal orsakssamband och inte kan anses som tidlös. / Uprising and insurgency has always been present during history. Military theorists have been studying various uprisings during history in order to develop solutions how to counter uprisings and insurgency. Current theories involving counter-insurgency are in some way influenced by on-going conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the possibility of being type casted, the theories of David Kilcullen is based on US experiences from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom and form the basic foundation of numerous national strategies when it comes to counter-insurgency and policy-making.  The purpose of this study is to assess in what way Kilcullen´s theories are without causality and in what way they are timeless as the theory form the basis of several nations modern counter-insurgency strategies. The study has been done by appliqueing Kilcullen´s theories on the actions taken by Gustav Vasa during the Dacke War.  The result shows great deviation when it comes to the amount of violence being used.  It is not possible to confirm Kilcullen´s theories being applicable studying a historical uprising characterised by great violence. The study does on the other hand show acts of non-violent actions taken by Gustav Vasa that correlates with the theories of David Kilcullen.  As a result the study shows evidence of causality and the theories seemingly being a result of the present situation. Therefore the Kilcullen theories can not be seen as timeless.

The aim of this study is to make a comparative study between the grievances during the Dacke Warand the German Peasant´s War. These two conflicts may have occurred separately, regarding bothgeographical and chronological distances but also share common issues for this comparative study.Less than two decades separates these two conflicts and they were all by their own serious insurrectionsduring their time. While the German Peasant´s War was the greatest uprising in Europe up tothe French Revolution, the Dacke War was the biggest Peasant Rebellion in Scandinavian history.While the German Peasant War has been studied and researched by historians for a relative longtime, the Dacke War has been neglected in research history. If it were not for the Swedish professorLars-Olof Larsson’s studies during foremost in the 1960s, the Dacke War would have been a historicallyuncharted territory of research indeed. This study aims to foremost supplement the unsatisfiedresearch on the Dacke War, but also supplement the research of The German Peasant war, with thiscomparative study. Although is exists a somewhat considerable amount of studies and theories regardinggeneral peasant uprisings and revolts from this period, researchers are still debating themain causes for these violent conflicts. The combination of different geographical and social differencesand insufficient sources makes studies about theses conflicts both problematic and complex.The result of this comparative study, show that both uprisings shared both common and differentkinds of grievances where generally the rebels of the German Peasant´s War had a larger propotionof demands than the rebels of the Dacke War. In Sweden the grievances was largely made up bycomplaints. While the German Peasant´s War was generally more radical and religious motivatedthan the Dacke War, it shared many similarities to each other, especially when it came to economicand economical complaints. While the German Peasants (although not all rebel-groups) made radicaldemands, such as the abolishment of serfdom, the rebels during the Dacke War were more intenton restoring their former rights and customs. Therefore the Swedish peasantry motivated theircomplaints by claiming they had juridical rights and legal claims to motivate rebellion. The Germanpeasants on the other hand, although also sharing the same motives but in somewhat lesser degree,had less legal rights and therefore motivated their demands in religious terms. The reason why thegrievances during the Dacke War mostly can be categorized as complaints instead of demands, maybe explained how influential and political equal the Swedish peasants were as a social group and estatein Swedish society compared to the many peasants living in serfdom in the Holy Roman Empire.This is also why German rebels more often legitimized their demands with religious motive,because they lacked the political power as social group and estate.
