This literature study aims to review previous research to examine in what manner the European Union (EU) affects the Swedish educational system. The literature study presents how a communal educational policy for the EU was formed by the acceptance of the Lisbon Strategy in the year 2000. The strategy also marks the start of an intensified cooperation between the EU and its member states. The preferred tool of the EU used to influence the individual member states is, according to the reviewed research, the Open Method of Coordination (OMC). Several researchers also point out that the EU has presented various policies which have influenced the member states curriculums, as well as the Swedish curriculum. The terms life-long learning and entrepreneurship are examples of terms presented by the EU and has since been included in the Swedish curriculum. At the time of collection of research material, the focus was placed on the methods and tools as well as treaties and strategies, as they have been highlighted as factors for influencing member states educational systems. The selected and reviewed research has then been analyzed in order to answer the objective and questions of the literary study concerning how the EU influences its member states by these methods and tools.
