Abstract [en]

This paper examines Swedish regulatory literature for mobilization in order to determine whether the current literature is suitable for the growing Swedish wartime-organization or if new literature needs to be produced to meet the demands of a larger organization. Current literature was produced during the mid 2010s and was officially adopted in 2018. At which point, the Swedish armed forces were considerably smaller than they are today, and substantially smaller than during the time when the preceding literature was being produced, in the early 1980s. It is against this background, the fact that current literature for mobilization was written for a very different armed force than we have today, that this study is conducted. Using resource mobilization theory from the field of sociology, the study examines two regulatory literatures using three distinct categories from the theory. Central themes which are deemed vital for large-scale mobilization are first identified in the older literature from the 80s. Current literature is then analyzed with regards to said themes. The study finds that new regulatory literature needs to be produced promptly, taking into account the conclusions drawn in this study, presented in the closing chapter Proposal for revision. Resource mobilization theory has proven useful and well-suited for the study, despite it being an unconventional choice for military studies.
