    ”Inget av detta är olagligt. Det behöver för den skull inte vara lämpligt.”: Utrikespolitik, självbild, export. Telubaffären i kontext av kalla krigets Sverige.2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna uppsats handlar om Telubaffären, som utspelade sig under slutet av 70-talet och början av 80-talet. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga syfte är att utforska händelsen i kontext av Sverige under kalla kriget, med fokus på utrikespolitiken och den svenska självbilden. Med hjälp av detta, och med avstamp i forskning om internationella relationer analyseras den allmänna diskussionen om händelsens efterspel. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga källmaterial är knappt 60 tidningsartiklar skrivna 1979–1982. Undersökningen genomförs genom kvalitativ textanalys och avslutas med en analys via kriterier givna av tidigare forskning och teori. Uppsatsens slutsatser är att regeringens agerande framstår som till allra största del förenligt med svensk utrikespolitik och även IR-teorins realistiska och liberala perspektiv, även om frågetecken kan resas gällande rådande svensk självbild och identitet. I den mediala diskussionen, och i oppositionens kritik, lyser främst etiska argument utifrån uppfattningar om självbild igenom.

    Att lära av andras krig - svenska attachéer i Japan 1908-1911: En undersökning av den svenska krigsmaktens lärdomar och erfarenhetshantering efter det rysk-japanska kriget 1904-19052023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study is about mapping out the Swedish General Staff's focus areas for information gathering through the military and naval attaches in Japan between the end of the Russo-Japanese War and the beginning of the First World War. More specifically the years 1908-1911. The study deals with experience management as well as how knowledge was obtained from abroad and what this says about the organisational culture of the Swedish armed forces. The study’s purpose is answered through three different questions, one mainquestion and two operationalizing questions. The method used in the study is qualitative text analysis with a hermeneutic approach. The approach aims to find out what the Swedish military attachés intended to study and what they considered important to report home from Japan and what this can tell us about the organisational culture of the Swedish armed forces. This method is thus about interpreting, deciphering, and understanding the received writings, reports, and messages. The theoretical starting point for this study is based on parts of the book The Culture of Military Organizations. Two categories of analysis from this theory have been selected: performance orientation, which is a measure of the extent to which a military organisation encourages and rewards members to challenge goals, promote innovation, and improve performance, and future orientation, which is a measure of the extent to which the military organisation engages in future-oriented behaviours such as delaying in order to enjoy the moment, planning and investing in the future. The concept of orientalism is also used in order to understand why certain lessons were accepted or rejected. The investigation is based on material taken from the General Staff's Foreign Affairs Department, specifically a volume of correspondence, reports, and messages from the military and naval attachés in Tokyo and Peking 1908-1911. The conclusions drawn in the study are that orientalism was an occuring element, but the Swedish attachés despite that enthusiastically took part in war experiencesand reported home their learned lessons, observations and assessments. Based on the lessons learned and the two categories of analysis stated above, Sweden's military organisational culture could at the time be considered to contain a relatively high future orientation and performance orientation.

    FJS: Arméns fallskärmsjägarskola och de grundläggande förmågorna – En analys av FJS utbildning och uppgifter mellan 1952 och 19702012Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    1952 inrättades fallskärmsjägarskolan i Karlsborg. Förbandet var tänkt att lösa jägaruppgifter långt bakom fiendens linjer. Uppsatsen behandlar hur förbandet fallskärmsjägarna förhöll sig till de grundläggande förmågorna, dels under potentiella operationer men även under utbildningen av soldater. Uppsatsen behandlar även huruvida och på vilket sätt fallskärmsjägarna förstärkte de grundläggande förmågorna hos försvaret som helhet.

     

    Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån reglementen och anvisningar analysera de grundläggande förmågorna hos svenska fallskärmsjägarförband, både utbildningsmässigt och skarpt.

     

    Genom doktrinen med de grundläggande förmågorna har reglementen och anvisningar analyserats kvalitativt.

     

    Resultaten av uppsatsen visar att samtliga förmågor fanns representerade hos förbandet både under utbildning och under genomförande av företag. Förbandet förhåller sig till förmågorna på ett medvetet sätt som kan utläsas av utbildningen mot tänkta uppgifter. 

    Resultatet visar även att förbandet har möjlighet att främst genom sin förmåga till att ge underrättelse förstärka de grundläggande förmågorna hos Försvarsmakten som helhet.

    DEN BEVÄPNADE DRÖNAREN, SMÅSTATENS FRÄMSTA MEDEL FÖR MOTSTÅND? EN FALLSTUDIE FRÅN KRIGET I UKRAINA2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    I inledningen av den storskaliga ryska invasionen av Ukraina tilldrog sig en relativt ny typ av vapensystem, den beväpnade drönaren, stor uppmärksamhet. Denna typ av system och dess framtida roll inom krigföringen har varit och är fortfarande omdebatterad. Forskningen har fram till nyligen, till stor del, saknat relevant empiri för att undersöka den beväpnade drönarens effekt i en mellanstatlig högteknologisk konflikt.

    Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka en mindre stats nyttjande av UCAV som ett sätt att projicera luftmakt. I det här fallet genom en fallstudie av konflikten i Ukraina. För att belysa Ukrainas användande av UCAV har en luftmaktsteori benämnd, Underdog’s Model, nyttjats. Modellen, framtagen av Arash Heydarian Pashakhanlou, syftar till att beskriva hur en mindre stat genom goda prestationer inom sex specifika faktorer, kan gå segrande ur en väpnad konflikt mot en starkare motståndare.

    Studien visar att Ukraina i mycket hög grad uppnått goda prestationer inom modellens faktorer. Effekten av de ukrainska UCAV-operationerna förefaller också, i krigets inledande fas vara mycket stor. Efter krigets första månader avtar dock denna effekt något, på grund av en motståndarens anpassning och nyttjande av motmedel.

    Underdog’s Model har en relativt god, om än inte fullständig, förklaringskraft beträffande Ukrainas användning av UCAV i konflikten. Nyttjande av UCAV framstår som en kostnadseffektiv väg för en småstat att projicera luftmakt i en asymmetrisk konflikt. Dock har vissa sårbarheter hos sådana system blivit mer framträdande varefter konflikten fortskridit.

    Abstract [en]

    This work analyzed the German blitzkrieg in World War II to produce fourcomparison dimensions that can be said is the essence of blitzkrieg. Thesecomparative dimensions are then used in case studies to highlight the process ofblitzkrieg. I make two case studies in my work in Israel and the U.S. war in the SixDay War of 1967 and the Iraq war 2003.In World War II the Germans achieved great success in the beginning of the warbecause they used the blitzkrieg. After World War II, one can wonder whetherblitzkrieg is still feasible and the necessary conditions for this. The purpose of mystudy is to examine the key components of blitzkrieg after World War II.The method I am using in my work is qualitative text analysis, based on previousresearch on lightning war. In the analysis section, I make a comparative analysis ofmy two case studies.

    "Här finns inga lyxfruar och ingen kverulans": En narrativanalys av pressens berättelser om Svenska Lottakåren under beredskapstiden2024Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This bachelor’s thesis examines the narrative about the Swedish Women’s Volountary Defence Organization (Svenska Lottakåren) in Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, and Svenska Dagbladet during the preparedness period (beredskapstiden) through a qualitative narrative analysis. Drawing from Lawrence Freedman’s theory of strategic narratives, the research sheds light on the newspaper’s role in shaping perceptions of Lottakåren and its efforts during the period. Furthermore, it investigates the narratives implications on a strategic level. The study concludes that the narrative may have influenced public perceptions of Lottakåren, serving specific strategic aims, such as creating support for the organization within society, fostering unity withing the organization, encourage volunteering and recruitment of new members. In doing so, this research fills a gap in knowledge on the subject while emphasizing the press’s vital role at a strategic level in times of war and crisis.

    Ukrainakriget i nyhetspressen: En kvalitativ undersökning av tidningsrapporteringen om Ukrainakriget i två svenska tidningar under 2022 jämfört med 20142024Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The war in Ukraine had a large media presence during both 2014 and 2022. The way media frames information about the conflict can lead to the reader of said media to be influenced into viewing actors and events in a certain way, which can have an effect on public opinion and political decision making. Because of this framing theory is used as the theoretical basis to analyze the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The goal of this analysis is to form an understanding about how the media has framed the Ukraine war over time. To reach this goal the analysis attempts to answer the following questions: How Swedish newspapers have framed the Ukraine war during 2022 and 2014? Is the framing in these papers biased towards any actors in 2022 and how does this compare to 2014? How does the framing of the conflict in 2022 differ from previous studies of the events from 2014? The analysis has been conducted using qualitative text analysis, and the result of this is presented both using text and by using a quantitative method through charts. The analysis focuses on 241 different newspaper articles published between February 2022 and July 2022 and two studies focusing on the Swedish news framing during 2014. The result of the analysis shows continuity in the framing as both focused heavily on the Russia vs west struggle that is playing out on the international and domestic political stage, instead of the war itself. There were some changes however, as 2022 introduced new subjects such as migration, economy and energy crisis to the framing of the war in Ukraine. The analysis also shows that the framing of the media in 2022 is heavily biased towards Ukraine with only a small amount of pro russian tendencies, which is a similar result to what was presented by previous studies covering the conflict during 2014.

    Finland som underrättelsemål eller vän: C-byråns underrättelseverksamhet i Finland under andra världskriget2024Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Intelligence organizations and their operations are by their nature secretive and wantto continue as such. This problematizes research around them and especiallyintelligence cooperation with other countries can be considered among the most secretparts of an intelligence organization. This is put in the context of the essay whereSweden and Finland have a long and extensive historical relationship. Thatrelationship also includes military aspects with volunteer soldiers and even today withthe joint decision to apply to NATO. Previous research on Swedish intelligencegathering and intelligence cooperation in Finland has been sparse and scattered inlarger works that have focused largely on the Swedish intelligence organization andits operations.

    The purpose of the essay is twofold. One is to map the Swedish intelligence gatheringin Finland by C-byrån and see how it changed during the course of the war. Thesecond is to highlight and discuss the intelligence cooperation between the Swedishand Finnish intelligence services. Since the purpose is twofold, two differenttheoretical frameworks and researchers' thoughts will be used. The first is Agrell'sthoughts on different types of intelligence, which will be used to analyze what isobtained in Finland. The second is Michael Herman's thoughts on intelligencecooperation, which will be used to explain and discuss the Swedish-Finnishintelligence cooperation. The method chosen for this essay is a qualitative textanalysis with a close reading of reports carried out. The essay will also containelements of quantitative methods in the form of a table and figures to more easilyvisualize some of the results. The end result of this essay is that the C-byrånsintelligence gathering in Finland changed in volume and type of intelligence duringthe course of the war. Within the intelligence cooperation, it is established that thecooperation was at its greatest and in clarity during the Finnish Winter War. After theFinnish Winter War cooperation decreased and became discreet, then returned duringthe Lapland War in clarity. Intelligence cooperation with the Finnish intelligenceservice became a method of approach and a professional exchange for the C-byrån toobtain intelligence on active war experience of how Soviet troops fight and theirtactics

    Time Zero: Hiroshima, September 11 and Apocalyptic Revelations in Historical Consciousness2006In: Millennium: Journal of International Studies, ISSN 0305-8298, E-ISSN 1477-9021, Vol. 34, no 3, p. 739-764Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article considers the place of the Hiroshima bombing and the September 11 attacks as singular acts of violence constituting major points of rupture in the historical consciousness and chronological narratives of the Western world: Ground Zero is Time Zero. Geographically and temporally delineated instances of intense death and destruction, both acts have been construed as moments when the world `changed for ever'. Our schemata of interpretation — the mental frameworks through which we impose meaning and continuity on the world around us and determine the range of our expectations — were violently overthrown by those events, shattered by images that exceed our minds' capabilities of re presentation and symbols that challenge our liberal metanarratives of ineluctable progress. By bringing to the fo re their aesthetic dimension and reading them through the lens of the Kantian notion of the sublime, we can grasp those events in their original intensity as overwhelming revelatory experiences. Apocalyptic both in their imagery and the meaning attributed to them, those unprecedented acts of terror re p resent turning-points in our reconstituted historical narratives, marking a culmination of history leading to it as well as the start of a new era in which it is proclaimed that many previous assumptions no longer hold.

    The Johnson Administration and the Recruitment of Allies in Vietnam, 1964-19682009In: History: The Journal of the Historical Association, ISSN 0018-2648, E-ISSN 1468-229X, Vol. 94, no 316, p. 483-504Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Vietnam War has generated a vast literature but one which has often forgotten that the United States fought in Vietnam as part of a coalition. This article examines Washington's efforts under President Lyndon B. Johnson to recruit third country combat assistance. He and his colleagues sought military help less for practical reasons than for political ones as a way of legitimizing the war both domestically and abroad. However, no NATO countries were willing to participate, and some of the five troop-contributing countries (Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand) were attracted probably more by American largesse than by idealism. In exploring the diplomacy of coalition-building, this article has a contemporary resonance in the light of the military campaigns initiated by the White House since 2003.

    Rysslands hybridkrig i Sahel. Gamla metoder, nya aktörer? En komparativ studie om aktiva åtgärder i Mali 2019-2023 och Angola 1974-19762024Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Russia's renewed interest and involvement in the African continent is reminiscent of a time when the Soviet Union supported various ideologically aligned groups to win a geopolitical power struggle and assert its position as a global superpower. The motives seem to have changed, but the question is whether Russian warfare in Africa has changed as well. In this comparative study, the Soviet Union's support for the MPLA and their takeover in Angola in 1975 is compared with Russia's support for the military junta that seized power in Mali after a military coup in 2020, aiming to determine how Russian/Soviet warfare in Africa has evolved over time. Supported by Thomas Rid and Lars Ulfving's theoretical framework on so-called active measures, three operationalized variables are identified and analyzed as: white, gray, and black. Through qualitative text analysis, reports and literature from the cases are examined. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of how hybrid warfare has been and is currently used as a means of Russian influence in Africa. The methods for this have rather been reinforced than changed historically by global development trends, especially the spread of information technology and the utilization of private companies and other actors. This study has confirmed that there is a historically rooted common Russian strategy to acquire and exert influence, a strategy based on the Soviet Union's traditional methods, active measures. A dual strategy consisting of both official policies and unofficial means where the unofficial means are driven by private actors, facilitating Russia's plausible deniability.

    Abstract [en]

    The research regarding the six day war and the aerial operations named Operation Moked is extensive but there are certain shortcomings in the research that examines both the operation and the principle of surprise.

    The aim of this paper is to contribute to this research by utilising existing military theories on the principle of surprise in order to identify indicators that are representative of surprise.  These indicators are thereafter used in a study of Operation Moked in order to examine the extent of in which the principle was utilised.

    The result of this research goes to show that the principle of surprise was utilised in great extent by Israel during Operation Moked.

    Att lära genom internationellt utbyte- En undersökning av svenska officerares kunskapsinhämtning mot bakgrund av innovationsbenägenhet och militär organisatorisk kultur2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Följande uppsats undersöker vad svenska officerare studerade under två militära studieresor till Frankrike under perioden 1954-1960. Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en tydligare bild av vad som officerarna avsåg att studera efter andra världskrigets slut och hur kunskaper samt innovation förmedlades under fredstid. 

    Studien genomförs med en kvalitativ textanalys av källmaterialet för att utröna den svenska militära organisationens studium av den franska Krigsmakten utifrån de erfarenheter som uppstått i samband med det världskrig som föregått världen. Detta görs genom att analysera den militära organisationens uppbyggnad med hjälp av kulturella dimensioner. Analysen av detta bedrivs även mot bakgrunden till den omorganisation av maktbalansen i världen som skedde. 

    Resultaten av studien tyder på att den kulturella faktorn har haft en betydande roll inom den militära sektorn, och att det från Sveriges sida fanns ett stort intresse att ta lärdom av erfarenheter från det föregående världskriget.

    Diggers och Kiwis i Vietnam2021Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The Vietnam war has had a huge influence on how we fight counterinsurgencies and although the war is generally seen as a failure, lessons from it are still being learned to this day. Unlike the Amer- icans, the Australians and New Zealanders using a more population-centric approach where quite successful in pacifying their assigned province.

    This thesis aims to examine if the population centric approach is the reason for this success by using Kilcullens modern theory of company-level COIN. The 28 articles for successful COIN in Kilcul- lens theory are interpreted and operationalized into questions. Using a qualitative text analysis, the questions are then tested against both first- and second-hand sources discussing Australia’s and New Zealand’s operations in the war.

    The result of the analysis shows that although the 28 articles were not used on a company level, the majority of them were used on a battalion level. After discussing the way companies and battalions were used in the war, this study reaches the conclusion that Kilcullens theory can explain the success achieved. However, Kilcullens theory is most likely not solely responsible for the success, more unknown factors are probably involved which gives suggestions for further research.

    Ända sedan flygets intåg i kriget har debatten om hur det ska användas på mest effektiva sätt fortsatt att prägla debatten inom luftmaktsteori. Luftmakt står idag till förfogande för många stater av olika storlek. Dock så existerar få luftmaktsteorier med fokus på den kvalitativt svagare parten i en konflikt. Teorier bygger vårt sätt att utveckla doktriner och därmed hur vi tränar, utbildar och använder luftmakt. 

    ”The Underdogs Model” är en nyutvecklad svensk luftmaktsteori som tar sin utgångspunkt i den kvantitativa asymmetrin gällande luftmakt och har som syfte att förklara hur en svagare part kan öka sin sannolikhet att nå framgång mot en starkare motståndare genom att förhålla sig till sex stycken faktorer.

    Syftet med denna studie är att genomföra en teoriprövning av denna teori och undersöka dess förklaringskraft. Detta genom att pröva teorin mot fallet slaget om Storbritannien 1940. Fallet som valts innehåller stora delar av asymmetri och användande av luftmakt.

    Resultatet visar på en stor förekomst av faktorerna i UM samt att Storbritannien presterade bättre än Tyskland i samtliga faktorer. Med grund i detta bedöms teorins förklaringskraft stärkt i det aktuella fallet. Efter genomförd analys kan det inte uteslutas att även andra faktorer inverkade på utfallet på slaget eftersom studien fokuserats på de sex faktorerna i teorin.

    Beväpnade organisationer i Sverige under mellankrigstiden: En jämförelse mellan kommunistiska och nationalistiska beväpnade organisationer2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The research problem of this study has been to compare armed organizations in the Swedish inter war period in a systematic way through the theoretical framework of the monopoly of violence. This has been done in the effort to demonstrate how the Swedish state viewed the level of threat that these organizations proposed based on certain criterias. This is something that hasn’t previously been done and it’s important analyze since it demonstrates how the state works under enormous amounts of stress and what the state deems to be of highest risk during these special times. The purpose of the study has been to answer how the state viewed the different armed organization's threat levels. Was it based on ideological views or was it based on something different? To answer this the study used three different research questions: What did the armed organizations have as their motive? What resources did the organizations have? And how did the state view the threat levels of the different organizations? As already noted the study was conducted within the framework of Max Weber's theory on the monopoly of violence. This theory implies that in order to have a successful state you need to be able to have the exclusive right to use violence within a specific area. Hence the state needs a monopoly of violence and therefore violence becomes a form of politics and the pursuit of power and influence. This theory should help demonstrate both why these organizations choose to take to arms but also how their different aspects affect their levels of threat perceived by the state. This study has been done primarily through a qualitative text analysis with a hermeneutic approach and comparative elements applied to it. This study has found that the organization's ideology seems to be the major aspect that increases the perceived threat levels but that there also are two other aspects that do this. The second is the motive behind why the organization has chosen to become armed. If the motive is to be able to conduct revolution this greatly increases the perceived levels of threat. The third aspect is the amount of resources that these organizations have, the more resources that they are in control of, the greater their potential threat and hence perceived threat levels.

    Den som vågar vinner, eller? Soldatupplevelser under bushkriget i Rhodesia 1964-792021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Den här uppsatsen handlar om soldaters upplevelser av bushkriget i Rhodesia. Bushkrigetstod mellan den statliga aktören Rhodesia och olika nationalistiska och kommunistiskagerillor, varför konflikten kom att präglas av COIN (Counter Insurgency), det vill säga militär upprorsbekämpning. Undersökningen utgörs av en kvalitativ textanalys av memoarer skrivna av rhodesiska veteraner efter krigets slut. Frågor som tas upp är hur soldaterna såg på sig själva och sina motståndare som aktörer samt hur de uppfattade kriget och metoderna de använde.

    Krigsplanläggning och ledning: Generalstaben och idén om en högsta ledning i den svenska försvarsmakten 1873-20232023Book (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Generalstaben inrättades 1873 och utgjordes av en elit av särskilt utbildade officerare som skulle leda arméns utveckling av krigsplanläggning, mobiliseringsplaner och större övningar. Dessa officerare har fortsatt att prägla stabernas arbete under 150 år, fram till dagens Högkvarter, och i denna bok lyfts deras roll i försvaret fram, liksom stabens internationella och svenska historia.

    Krigsmakten tar sig norrut: En studie av den svenska krigsmaktens syn på sekelskiftets Norrland2018Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this essay to study how the Swedish armed forces looked at and described the modernization of Norrland as well as its impact on the armed forces during the years 1870– 1920. Aspects investigated in this study are menace, the perception of the population and the expected ability to defend the area. These questions will affect the way Sweden approaches, what at the time was considered a rich and possibly useful, though peripheral, region. Hence the chosen aspects for this study. Previous research that in one way or another touches this area of research has been discussed thoroughly in order to understand the Swedish armed forces view of Norrland in an adequate way.

    A great deal of focus has been put into the understanding of how the Swedish armed forces looked at the modernization of Norrland, seen from the already mentioned perpectives. This essay portraits the military perspective of Norrland as possible battleground. A changing Norrland was included in the changes of Sweden, a land of the future, but how did the Swedish armed forces approach this change?

    Folkberedskapens ombudsverksamhet: och korporatismens roll under beredskapstiden2020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen undersöker Statens informationsstyrelses fyra sammanställningar av folkberedskapens orts- och länsombuds årliga rapporter 1941-1944. Syftet är att ta reda på mer om vilken roll icke-statliga organisationer hade för roll i det kulturella folkberedskapsarbetet på lokal nivå runt omkring i Sverige under beredskapstiden. Genom kvalitativ textanalys lyfter studien fram vilka kopplingar Folkberedskapen (SIS) hade till icke-statliga organisationer och vilken verksamhet av folkberedskapskaraktär dessa organisationer bedrev. Resultatet visar att de redan etablerade icke-statliga organisationerna hade en mycket omfattande och tämligen autonom roll i arbetet.
