The purpose of the study at hand is to convey a conservative theoretical perspective on the contemporary issues of segregation in Sweden. The aim has been to forth bring answers from a presented definition of conservatism through an idea analysis, which contains the main points of the conservative formation of ideas. The execution of the study is made through the method of Badersten’s “given-that analysis”. The aforementioned ideas are based on the works of mostly prominent conservative thinkers; Edmund Burke, Michael Oakeshott, Russell Kirk, John Kekes and, last but not least, Sir Roger Scruton. These are furthermore applied to three aspects of the concept of segregation, namely ethnic, socioeconomic, and city-and-landsegregation. In conclusion, the result contains a variety of possible solutions that are contextually bound to the situation in Sweden. These solutions, or answers, are based on typical conservative beliefsand perceptions of concepts concerning rationalism, the little platoons, historical experience, freedom, class and justice, and nationalism. The solutions that are drawn from these concepts consists of answers such as the need to increase the level of individual responsibility both in terms of the individual herself as well as in relation to the state. Another point made is that regarding the importance of a common culture with a set of norms that firmly stands as the reference point throughout society. Also, a reactive response to increase the respect and authority of the law enforcement is determined.
