Syftet med denna undersökning var att få en inblick på hur vilka åtgärder Västra Frölundas nykterhetsnämnd tog för att motarbeta alkoholism, hur dess verksamhet bedrevs samt hur alkoholismens utveckling inom Västra Frölundas kom såg ut mellan 1928–1944. Arbetet skulle genomföras med hjälp av en kvalitativ studie som redogjorde de åtgärder nämnden gjorde och hur verksamheten fungerade, och en kvantitativ studie gjordes för att ge en bild på hur alkoholismens utveckling i Västra Frölunda mellan 1928–1944 såg ut. Materialet var i huvudsak bestående av nämndens protokollshandlingar. Vad undersökningen visade var att nämnden vidtog särskilda åtgärder beroende på omständigheterna nämnden vad ställd inför. Från tilldelandet av varningar till beslutandet av att internera alkoholmissbrukare på alkoholistanstalt, mängden av åtgärder som nämnden vidtog för att motarbeta alkoholismen avgjordes beroende på vad nämnden ansåg vara nödvändigt. Vad utvecklingen mellan 1928–1944 visade så förbättrades nämndens verksamhet när det kom till deras kapital, organisation och personal. Alkoholismens utveckling i Västra Frölunda visar på att det inte finns en tydlig trend för hela perioden 1928–1944, utan trenden skiftar mellan åren. Vad som noterades var det låga antalet av fyllerifall för åren mellan 1928–1931 och det höga antalet fyllerifall för 1932 och framåt.

Abstract Title: How does Europeanization effect Swedish alcohol policy? . Titel: Hur påverkar Europeiseringen svensk alkoholpolitik? Minor Thesis in Political Science, January 2008 Author : Markus Gustafsson Tutor : Lennart Bergfeldt Växjö University This essay will deal with the influence which Europeanization has on domestic politics. The case I have chosen is Swedish alcohol policy. Thus, the purpose is to explore whether observed changes in Swedish alcohol policy in the years 1993-2005 can be explained by Swedens´s membership in the European Union. To reach this purpose the following questions need to be answered: • What is europeanization? • How has Swedish alcohol policy changed from 1993 to 2005? • Is it possible to connect the changes in Swedish alcohol policy to a process of Europeanizationprocess? The method in this essay has been a qulitative study of litterature. The theory has been europenization and its effects on domestic politics. To conduct the analyse an analyticalmodell have been used. My conclusion shows rather clearly that a process of europeanization has been affecting the Swedish alcohol policy. Swedish authorities have been reluctant to change their alcohol policy in the liberal manner that was requested by the European Union, due to consideration for the public health. Traditionally, Swedish authorities have been forced by European Union law to accept significant changes. Keywords : Europeanization, Swedish Alcohol policy, The European Union, The Internal Market
