This thesis examines the Swedish political discourses during the post-Yugoslav wars (19911995) with a particular focus on Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). This is done by applying a discourse theory and Donald Davidsons interpretation theory. The study reveals that Swedish political discourse was not monolithic but varied across different parties and over time. While Croatia was often portrayed positively, aligning with efforts to combat old stereotypes, Serbia was largely depicted negatively, particularly in relation to its leadership's role in the conflicts. Discourses on BiH were more complex, with varying views depending on the ethnic group in focus. The research challenges Maria Todorova's theory of Balkanism, which critiques the Western perception of the Balkans as inherently violent and chaotic. The results disprove Todorova's generalization of a uniform Balkanist discourse, showing instead a nuanced and critical engagement within Swedish politics. The findings underscore the interplay between ideological stances, historical contexts, and humanitarian concerns in shaping Sweden's foreign policy and responses to international conflicts.
