1	En policy för ett efterkonstruerat problem? : En studie om NATO:s första samarbete med Sverige Lindgren, Pontus January 2022 (has links) This essay studies the Nato initiative Partnership for peace that Sweden joined in 1994. The initiative was about strengthening the control in Europe and to increase the interoperability between European states in military aspects. The analysis looks at Sweden’s view on problem and solution before and after the initiative was known, and shows that when Sweden joined Partnership for peace, that was an effort to solve the problems that the cold war left after it ended. Sweden’s view on these problems and the solution to said problems were the same as what the partnership gave at the time. Nothing indicated that joining Partnership for peacewas about anything else than trying to solve the problems that existed in Europe after the cold war. As method a qualitative text analysis is used with elements from theory consumption by the Multiple stream’s framework. According to this framework policy change happens for two reasons. One of the reasons is that a policy can change or be implemented without a specific purpose, and the other reason a policy changes is because there is a need to solve a real problem.

2	Sverige & Nato : En studie av svenska Nato-samarbeten / Sweden & Nato : A study of Swedish collaborations with Nato Nordin, Ingrid January 2019 (has links) The aim of this essay was to examine what problems, causes and solutions three Swedish governments identified concerning three decisions of cooperation with NATO, and to understand these decisions with constructivism and hard and soft power as theoretical perspectives. The first was the decision to join Partnership for Peace in 1994. The second decision was to join the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997. The third decision was to join a host nation support with NATO in 2016. The analysis showed that problems regarding PfP was an unpredictable security situation, caused by the fall of the Soviet Union. This gave rise to new conflicts, e.g. the conflict in Yugoslavia. Russia was identified as a problem also regarding the EAPC, caused by a Russian superpower identity. Problems identified before joining the HNS was that Russia was aggressive and annexed the Ukrainian peninsula Crimea in 2014. This was caused by the Russian leadership prioritizing the defence sector. The identified problems and causes can be understood with the theory of hard power, since the Russian hard power resources are wielded both within and outside of Russia. Constructivism is useful to understand what solutions the governments proposed, since they often express an ambition to build a common identity, while keeping the Swedish identity as non-aligned. Also, soft power resources made the alliance more attractive for the Swedish governments.
