Dekanen beslutar att

Undantag kan göras med hänsyn till t ex gruppstorlekar. Övergången ska ske med start den 18 mars 2020 och ska gälla till dess att rekommendationerna med anledning av coronaepidemin ändras.
Description
The course provides an introduction to Swedish politics. The political system in general, the constitution, the government and the political parties are discussed in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. Sweden’s role as a small country in a global context, both as a member of the European Union and the United Nations, is highlighted. Swedish attributes such as “The Swedish Model” and the policy of neutrality are analysed in a historical perspective as well as with reference to the present situation. Special attention is given to the Swedish gender model, refugee politics and ethnic pluralism.
