Sweden and Covid-19 : A (Mainly) Recommendary Approach
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic. - Hoboken : John Wiley & Sons. - 9781119812203 - 9781119812159 ; , s. 301-321
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyzes the Swedish legal frameworks and policy approaches which were taken in order to counter the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. It examines, inter alia the social distancing measures that were introduced, testing, contact tracing as well as the Swedish legislators' and Swedish authorities' efforts to balance civil liberties with effective public health measures. The chapter explains why this is so, and the impact that the constitution and the existing legal framework for dealing with pandemics has had on policy choices in Sweden. The first thing as regards the Swedish constitutional context is that there is no provision in the Swedish constitution for the declaration of a state of emergency in peacetime, only in war or where there is an imminent danger of war. The fact that the Swedish constitution is silent on peace time crisis means that the ordinary legislative procedure as a main rule applies also during a crisis.

The Evolution and Gestalt of the Swedish Constitution
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Constitutional Foundations. - Oxford : Oxford University Press.
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explains the origins, evolution and basic structures of the Swedish constitution. It examines inter alia how historical factors have influenced the present (1974) constitution, the basic features of the Swedish state, the role of the constitution in the Swedish legal order, and the constitutional identity of Sweden. Sweden belongs to the group of states practicing political constitutionalism, and the constitution emphasizes parliamentary sovereignty. Government is collective, and administrative agencies operate with a high level of autonomy. The constitutional role of the courts was originally limited, however, this has increased as a result of societal developments and EU/ECHR membership.

Dealing with COVID-19 in Sweden : Choosing a Different Path
- 2022. - 1
-
Ingår i: Routledge Handbook of Law and the COVID-19 Pandemic. - London : Routledge. - 9781032078854 ; , s. 237-247
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic not only ravaged human bodies but also had profound and possibly enduring effects on the health of political and legal systems, economies and societies. Almost overnight, governments imposed the severest restrictions in modern times on rights and freedoms, elections, parliaments and courts. Legal and political institutions struggled to adapt, creating a catalyst for democratic decline and catastrophic increases in poverty and inequality.This handbook analyses the global pandemic response through five themes: governance and democracy; human rights; the rule of law; science, public trust and decision making; and states of emergency and exception. Containing 12 thematic commentaries and 25 chapters on countries of diverse size, wealth and experience of COVID-19, it represents the combined effort of more than 50 contributors, including leading scholars and rising voices in the fields of constitutional, international, public health, human rights and comparative law, as well as political science, and science and technology studies.Taking stock after the onset of global emergency, this book provides essential analysis for politicians, policy-makers, jurists, civil society organisations, academics, students and practitioners at both national and international level on the best, and most concerning, practices adopted in response to COVID-19 – and key insights into how states and multilateral institutions should reform, adapt and prepare for future emergencies.
