Abstract [en]

The purpose of the following thesis is to critically analyse the ideational content of the current Swedish security policy. The thesis examines ideational content present in the Swedish governments foreign policy declarations of 2019, 2020, and 2021 as well as the government bill for the total defence in the period 2021-2025. Through idea criticism this thesis scrutinise the logical rigour of statements. Coherent ideational content can be as a requirement on all political content, and especially concerning security policy dealing with high-risk values. Incoherence of ideas can be seen as an invalid policy.

The two texts are read and the ideas are sorted into statements of values, descriptions and prescriptions. The statements are then compared to theoretical ideal types of international relations theory. Concord of ideal types can be seen as a coherent policy whilst discrepancy can be seen as incoherence. The study finds that value-statements, descriptive statements and prescriptive statements all corresponded to two ideal types. Swedish security policy can therefore be seen as incoherent.
