The purpose of this paper is to answer how/if Swedish school literature in social studies have changed their content and presentation of the European Union since before the Swedish entrance in the union 1995; and if that change has followed the discourse regarding the European Union in Sweden. Earlier studies have shown how Sweden’s stance on European Union changed since its creation after the second world war and how the entrance of the European Union in curriculum affected the school system in Sweden. However, no study has been made to see if the literature which is used in Swedish schools has changed in its presentation and content of the European union since the entrance 1995. Few studies have also focused if the literature follows the discourse and attitudes that Sweden have had regarding the European union during these years. The study has been done by analyzing 6 different social studies books form different years starting in 1986 and ending 2017. What the study shows is that a clear change in the socials studies literature about the European union has happened since 1986 and that the change follows three clear stages, resistance stage, approachment stage, collaboration stage, and is affected by the discourse which runs in Sweden.
