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.
