- The Covid 19 pandemic has put the issue of public trust at the centre of political analysis. This article inquires into the level of public trust in Sweden concerning current crisis management as well as preparedness for future crises. The empirical basis for this study consists of unique data generated through two surveys on the Covid 19 virus conducted during 2020 in Sweden. Respondents were asked to assess their trust in different actors' crisis management. In addition, the first survey asked about how the actions of different actors impact on the forward-oriented trust held in Swedish emergency preparedness for a future severe crisis. Four key findings stand out. First, the results display rather weak levels of interpersonal trust. Second, a surprisingly high level of institutional trust can be found during the initial phase of the pandemic. Simultaneously we see somewhat decreasing levels of trust later during the pandemic. The results include interesting variations across age, gender and education. Third, relating the results to earlier research on trust in Sweden, the results contain indications of stable trust levels despite the all but stable contextual conditions. Fourth, the analysis shows important variations in trust levels among different institutions and layers of government.

- Studies repeatedly find that women and men experience life in academia differently. Importantly, the typical female academic portfolio contains less research but more teaching and administrative duties. The typical male portfolio, on the other hand, contains more research but less teaching and administration. Since previous research has suggested that research is a more valued assignment than teaching in academia, we hypothesise that men will be ranked higher in the peer-evaluations that precede hirings to tenured positions in Swedish academia. We analyze 861 peer review assessments of applicants in 111 recruitment processes in Economics, Political Science, and Sociology at the six largest Swedish universities. Our findings confirm that the premises established in previous research are valid in Sweden too: Women have relatively stronger teaching merits and men relatively stronger research merits, and also that, on balance, research is rewarded more when applicants are ranked by reviewers. Accordingly, male applicants are ranked higher compared to female applicants.

- För att nå framgång i den akademiska världen och på ett lyckosamt sätt konkur- rera om begränsade resurser är det rationellt för den enskilde att snabbt söka nå docenttitel. När allt fler forskare försöker bli docenter, samtidigt som nya univer- sitet av statusskäl vill bygga upp en grupp av docenter och professorer, riskerar docenttitelns värde att devalveras. I artikeln undersöker vi om de facto-kraven för docentur i nationalekonomi och statsvetenskap understiger de jure-kraven. Vårt resultat är i huvudsak nekande för såväl nationalekonomer som statsvetare. Däremot varierar de facto-kraven för docentur betänkligt mellan lärosäten, i synnerhet inom statsvetenskapen. Vårt material ger vid handen att de facto-kra- ven är lägre vid de nyare universiteten, för nationalekonomer är kraven tvärtom lägre vid några av de äldre.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article the Swedish public management during the Covid 19 pandemic 2020- 2021 is analyzed in the light of previous identified challenges for Swedish civil defense. Such challenges are in the article contextualized in the light of contempo- rary research with the move from government to governance, but also through pub- lic inquiries and public debate concerning the future Swedish civil defense. The chal- lenges identified are network governance, multi-level governance and public-private partnerships. The rationale behind this study departs from the idea that the identi- fied challenges for the development of a modern civil defense could be expected to be manifested during a severe civil crisis like the pandemic. If these challenges are occurring in the management of the pandemic, then they are likely to be relevant to be addressed as Sweden move forward to reestablish the planning for a modern civil defense to be used during future severe crisis or even during war. The results from the study of the experiences of relevant actors during the public management of the pandemic confirm that at least two of the identified challenges are relevant to address further, namely multi-level governance and network governance.
