En merkantilistisk början : Stockholms textila import 1720–1738
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this thesis is to, from an institutional approach, study how the Stockholm importers within the textile sector adapted their foreign trade to the change in economic policy 1720 through 1738. The focus is to investigate to what extent the introduction of new laws, regulations etc. can be an explanation for what happened to Stockholm’s foreign trade, mainly imports, particularly textile imports during the period. It is mainly the economic policies that had been enacted during the Hornian government and their effects that have been studied. This is a period that has seldom been studied in other research. This thesis begins when the Russian raids were over. This was a year when the foreign trade still was relatively free and was untouched by the 17th century’s regulations. After 1721 the policies that would be introduced to increase Sweden's level of self-sufficiency and strengthen ties with the North Sea area had several components. Besides the economic policy, the main sources for the thesis are the city toll records. The trade policies in the shape of tolls and fees, import and consumption bans etc. and the commercial policies together became different kinds of political tools used for several purposes. The conclusion of this thesis is that the economic policies made the Stockholm importers adapt their trade to the change. The import bans and sumptuary laws had an effect. The economic policies gave rise to an increase in the import of textile raw materials. The rise in toll costs and import fees contributed to displacing the foreign trade towards other areas. The change in the economic policies was successful in the sense that it gave rise to new conditions for domestic production within the textile sector and forced Stockholm's importers to adapt their foreign trade.

Den egna vägen - Sverige och den europeiska integrationen 1961-1971
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The main purpose of this thesis is to study the reasons behind the Swedish decision not to become a full member of the EEC in the 1960's and 1970's. During this period, Sweden adapted a so called contra-cyclical economic policy characterised by capital and exchange regulations and discriminating establishment rules against foreign citizens. These rules were however incompatible with a membership in the EEC. At the same time, trade with the EEC-countries was of great importance. Therefore an agreement that safeguarded an independent economic policy at the same time as it ensured Swedish trade was considered as urgent and a number of exceptions from the Treaty of Rome were demanded in this respect. Sweden, however, referred these exceptions to areas connected with neutrality and security policy in the belief that this would win sympathy from the Swedish opposition parties as well as from the EEC. This strategy, however, failed with respect to the EEC-countries and a widely spread opinion among these countries was that Sweden only used the neutral-policy-argument as an excuse for safeguarding Swedish domestic policy interests. This led to a massive critique against Sweden. In order not to be blamed for reducing the importance of the policy of neutrality the opposition parties, however, did not question the Swedish arguments which led to a long period of silence in the Swedish EEC-debate. This explanation for the Swedish actions towards the EEC has not been given enough attention by prior researchers. The functionalistic view on the European integration in which integration in one area more or less automatically leads to an extended integration in others is also questioned. This thesis in contrast supports the intergovernmentalistic view on European integration and suggests that economic integration in one area in some cases, for political reasons, encourages self determination in others.
