I denna bok analyseras vad det svenska EU-medlemskapet inneburit för svensk politik sedan inträdet i unionen 1995. Syftet är att studera förändringen av hur svensk politik organiseras och vilket innehåll ett fördjupat medlemskap har inneburit. Utifrån antagandet att svensk politik ingår i ett flernivåstyre på lokal, regional, nationell och europeisk nivå, ligger fokus på mötet mellan svensk nationell politik och EU. Det innebär att boken analyserar dels hur svensk politik styrs och utformas, dels hur politikens innehåll förändrats i mötet mellan svenska politiska institutioner och EU. För att förstå hur svensk politik påverkas, introduceras begreppen europeisering, governance och policyprocesser. Med hjälp av dessa ges möjlighet till en djupare förståelse för hur och varför svensk politik förändrats. Med svensk politik avses följande tolv politikområden : asyl- och migrationspolitik, biståndspolitik och utvecklingssamarbete, brottsbekämpning, energipolitik, grannskapspolitik, jordbrukspolitik, jämställdhetspolitik, miljöpolitik, näringspolitik, socialpolitik, utbildningspolitik samt utrikes- och säkerhetspolitik. Varje politikområde skärskådas över tid från EU-medlemskapets inträde fram till i dag.

This book examines the multiple strategies proposed by the international community for addressing global climate change (GCC) from both human and state-security perspectives.It examines what is needed from major states working within the UN framework to engage with the multiple dimensions of a strategy that addresses GCC and its impacts, where such engagement promotes both human and state security. Two broad frameworks for approaching these issues provide the basis of discussion for the individual chapters, which discuss the strategies being undertaken by major state powers (the US, the EU, China, India, Japan, and Russia). The first framework considers the multiple strategies, mitigation, adaptation, and capacity-building required of the international community to address the effects of GCC. The second framework considers the differentiation of GCC policies in terms of security and how the efficacy of these strategies could be impacted by whether priority is given to state security over human security concerns. This book will be of much interest to students of human security, climate change, foreign policy, and International Relations.
Responsibility to Protect and Prevent

‘Responsibility to Protect and Prevent: Principles, Promises and Practicalities’ explores the evolution of responsibility to protect (R2P), a principle which – according to its supporters – has evolved into a new type of responsive norm for how the international community should react to serious and deliberate human rights violations. Arguing that the R2P ethos has been misunderstood and used ineffectively, this work defends the validity of R2P and urges for a more practical understanding that moves beyond theory.The progression of R2P from an initial concept to formal ratification has been a very difficult one, with a great deal of disagreement over its validity as a substantive norm in international affairs. The key disagreement is not that protection or prevention are unimportant, but rather how the fine-sounding R2P principles are supposed to work in practice. This volume presents a number of important arguments that are directly related to the state vs. human security debate, with a critical analysis of the nexus between the protection verses prevention theses. Through the case study of the Libyan Crisis, Janzekovic and Silander offer an example of the R2P thesis in action, and support the claim that prevention should be more than an adjunct to protection.

International Organizations and The Rise of ISIL

This book seeks to understand the obligations of the international community to promote and protect state and human security in situations of international humanitarian crises. In Iraq and Syria, as well as in neighbouring states, the rise of ISIL has raised serious state and human security challenges. This study explores the relationships between the Global-Regional Partnership, the United Nations and nine organizations in their attempt to deal with the challenges presented by ISIL. Each organization is analyzed in terms of how it has responded in the past and how it is now responding to the ISIL threat based on three perspectives; resource capacities (military, political, economic, technological, normative); willingness and readiness; and impediments to capacity and abilities. The overall aim is to discern what capacities and abilities international organizations have to protect state and human security and prevent civilians from mass atrocities inflicted by ISIL forces. The study addresses the role of international organizations when the UNSC is unable or unwilling to uphold the most fundamental norms and values in the UN Charter. This approach acknowledges that within the international community there is an overall acceptance on security for a partnership between the UN and regional organizations, but that there is also a contested call for a renegotiated international contract on state and human security.This volume will be of much interest to students of international relations, human rights, peace and conflict studies, terrorism studies and International Relations.

This book seeks to understand the obligation of the international community to implement the principles of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P).With a focus on the humanitarian crisis in Syria, the volume examines what formal responsibility and actual capability international institutions have to protect and prevent civilians from systematic mass atrocities and presents an analysis of several prominent international organizations (IOs). Each chapter focuses on a specific organization and explores their formal responsibilities and how these pertain to the obligations of the R2P. Existing capabilities and actual abilities to address the challenges of R2P are analysed by looking at these issues before, during, and after the occurrence of the humanitarian crisis in Syria. With the UN not fully engaged in the Syrian conflict, the systematic human rights abuses have engendered greater attention on other organizations. This volume argues that if the UN Security Council’s inactions result in an abdication of responsibilities under the UN Charter, there should not only be a discussion of how the UN must alter its approach, but also an examination of whether there are alternative R2P paths for other MNOs to take in the name of international peace and human security.This book will be of much interest to students of R2P, humanitarian intervention, international organisations, Middle Eastern politics and security studies.

Political Entrepreneurship explores the role of political entrepreneurs in regional growth and entrepreneurial diversity. The authors define a political entrepreneur as a politician, bureaucrat or officer within the publicly funded sector who encourages entrepreneurship for growth and employment using innovative approaches. This book aims to enrich the established research on entrepreneurship with in-depth knowledge of the conditions conducive for political entrepreneurship in Sweden.Political entrepreneurs have the potential to be innovative and encourage entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial diversity by fundamentally challenging the prevailing formal and informal institutions. It is argued that, in times of economic stress, political entrepreneurship is essential to find new ways of promoting growth, employment and welfare.

Since the first elections of 1994, the South African constitution officially guarantees and promotes a wide range of political and civil rights and institutionalizes the separation of powers with an independent judiciary. This has made South Africa a political symbol of change, hope and democracy in Africa and around the world. However, since the introduction of free and fair electoral processes and with ANC dominating the presidency and the parliamentary seats, the political scene has been scattered by democratic challenges. South Africa remains a flawed democracy, combining free elections and respect for basic civil liberties with problems of governance, an underdeveloped political culture, and low levels of public participation.Today, South Africa stands at a crossroads. While the constitutional democracy has survived, South African democracy seems to have weakened by state capture, internal ANC implosion, corruption, societal polarization, social exclusion, xenophobia, and threats of state economic bankruptcy. South Africa faces growing discontent symbolized in intensified societal and political debates, protests and demonstrations providing for the question if this is a sign of dissatisfied citizens demanding deeper democracy or activities questioning the established constitutional democracy from an anti-democratic, populist, and radical point of view.South Africa´s Democracy at the Crossroads explores the question; what are the challenges to future democratization in South Africa?

As the world pursues the UN’s Agenda 2030, nations face challenges in balancing economic growth, social equity, and sustainability. South Africa, a symbol of democracy since 1994, grapples with political instability, economic inequality, and environmental concerns. Assessing its progress in achieving Agenda 2030 offers insights into the broader challenges faced by developing democracies.In South Africa and Agenda 2030: Critical Perspectives on Delivering Sustainable Democracy and Development, editor Daniel Silander brings together a comprehensive collection of analyses examining South Africa’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This volume explores key dimensions of sustainable democracy and development, with a particular focus on SDG 16, which emphasizes peace, justice, and strong institutions. Authors in this collected work delve into critical aspects of political governance, judicial integrity, media freedom, and public accountability; all factors essential for fostering a stable and democratic society. Additionally, the analyses extend beyond governance, addressing economic and environmental sustainability through chapters on industrial policy, labour rights, poverty reduction, and climate change. By integrating theoretical perspectives with empirical findings, this work provides a nuanced assessment of South Africa’s successes and persistent challenges in meeting the Agenda 2030 targets.Providing a multidimensional analysis of South Africa’s sustainable development, this volume is invaluable for academics, students, policymakers, and anyone invested in democracy, governance, and global development. Offering critical perspectives and policy recommendations, it serves as both a reference and a call to action for fostering a more sustainable and equitable future.

Just 25 years ago, Europe was engaged in a process of democratization and integration. The EU, with an expanded number of member-states, became a symbol of a democratic, peaceful and prosperous Union. However, recent years have seen the reversal of democratization in many of the countries that went through political transition in the 1990s. Even in established democracies, growing authoritarian tendencies have been apparent in the rise of populism and political polarisation and questions over the rule of law.Focusing on threats to Swedish liberal democracy in a time of autocratization to explore wider crises democracy is currently facing around the globe, Problems in Paradise? explores eight interactive sub-societies crucial for a dynamic and persistent liberal democracy: the political, the judicial, the bureaucratic, the economic, the educational, the media, the civil, and the international.Fully embracing the wide range of challenges liberal democracy has faced in recent years, this book offers a deepened understanding of contemporary changes and challenges to liberal democracy.

Has Swedish policy changed in terms of organisation (form) and content (substance) as a result of an increasingly consolidated membership? Based on the assumption that Swedish policy is part of multilevel governance at a local, regional, national and European level, the focus is on the interaction between Swedish national policy and the EU. In this book Swedish policy refers to the following policy areas: economic, agricultural, environmental, social, education, gender equality, asylum and migration, crime prevention, foreign and security, neighbourhood and development and aid. Every policy area has been scrutinised over time, from the moment of entry into the EU until today. The book addresses students at various levels, as well as politicians, civil servants and journalists with regard to how Sweden and Europe in general, and Swedish policy and the EU in particular, are interwoven in one political system.

Ska EU utvecklas i en federal riktning eller ska flexibla lösningar på konkreta problem tillämpas? Detta är ödesfrågan som EU återigen står inför i en tid då nya hotbilder växer sig starka i omvärlden och flera inom-europeiska utmaningar kvarstår. En tydlig framtida färdriktning är ännu inte utstakad. Låter sig de mönster som kan skönjas i utvecklingen under de senaste åren tolkas som att EU har tagit avgörande kliv mot ett federalt system, eller handlar det snarare om en utveckling i flera hastigheter? I en tid då EU står inför stora utmaningar är handlingskraften i dess befogenheter och bärigheten i politiska strukturer avgörande för framtiden. Dessa utmaningar ställer viktiga frågor på sin spets: utgör planerna att upprätta en europeisk försvarsunion, jämte inrättandet av en europeisk åklagarmyndighet avgörande steg bort från statssuveräniteten? Innebär den nya utformningen av EU:s statsstödsregler ett hot mot demokratin? Hur påverkar rättsstatskrisen integrationen i EU? Hur ser möjligheterna och utmaningarna ut för en gemensam skatte- och finanspolitik inom EU? Vilken roll spelar graden av ekonomisk jämlikhet för EU:s fortsatta utveckling? Finns det en fungerande parlamentarism i EU?
Dessa och andra frågor belyses i den tjugofemte årgången av Europaperspektiv. Boken är tvärvetenskaplig och innehåller nio kapitel skrivna av forskare inom juridik, statskunskap och ekonomiska ämnen, som ur olika perspektiv analyserar den europeiska integrationens färdriktning.
