Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dissertation deals with History of technology in Sweden before, during and after the industrialization. A theory that technical actors have a growing influence on state technology chiefly owing to the industrialization is presented. Five case-studies the Göta Canal 1806-1818, The railway-issue 1829-1848, The issue of motor traffic 1900- 1916, the issue of air transport 1912-1925 and the issue of nuclear power 1945-1972 are examined in order to test the theory.The principal results of the dissertation are as follows: The process of decision- making owing to state technology is dealt with not only by technical and political actors but also with technical/political actors. They are generally of two kinds; actors representing the technology in question and with an added political platform and politicians with an interest in technology and/or a profession with a relation to the technology in question. To this you can add a during time growing and more and more influential state bureaucracy. The possible decision on some state technical issue is framed by political actors. Inside this frame technical/political actors supported by the state bureaucracy are shaping the issues. Along with this it is apparent that technical actors with no or weak contact with political arenas take little part in the shaping- process. Owing to the study the process of industrialization and/or the professionalisation of technicians has no or a poor impact on the process of decision- making. Instead the agricultural political representation acts as a strong body with great influence on the state technical development up to the issue of nuclear power. The political representants of technology and/or industry on the other hand are not able to take advantage of the political structure in order to influence the technical issues. This depends to some extent on lack of political conformity. Another cause is however that technology when put into practice has a multiplex content which from time to time put technical actors in conflict with one another. This is apparent in the issue of air transport and nuclear power and to some extent in the choise between canal and railway. When technicians are not united the political actors, especially the ones representing agriculture, reinforce their influence on the studied state technical issues.

"Nationens livsfråga" : Propaganda och upplysning i försvarets tjänst 1944-1963

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The subject of this thesis is the problem of autonomy versus control in the field of defence propaganda and defence information. The study has its foundation in two classical problems of democratic theory: the issue of political control over bureaucracies and the question of the involvement of non-governmental organizations in public administration. I argue that these two problems of modern democracy can be seen as one, the problem of autonomy versus control. In my thesis I analyse this problem within the framework of the tension between the armed forces, the government and the non-governmental organizations in the field of military information between 1944 and 1963. In the book I use the terms defence information and defence propaganda synonymously, meaning information distributed with the intent to influence attitudes and actions of individuals and/or organizations. This book focuses on four aspects of the problem of autonomy versus control. The first aspect deals with propaganda coming from the supreme commander and the defence staff. What methods were used? With which other groups did they collaborate? Can we see any change over the course of time? Aspect number two focuses on government control over defence information. What means of control did the government use? When was it used and how? The third aspect concerns non-governmental organizations in the field of defence. How did they interact with the government and with the defence staff and the supreme commander? The final aspect deals with government control over non-governmental organizations as well as control exercised by the military authorities over non-governmental organizations. What means of control was employed, at what times, and how? The analysis of these aspects is undertaken in five case studies.The study shows that the problem of autonomy versus control was evident from 1944 to 1963. I also argue that the supreme commander and the defence staff acted as a military interest group with close ties to the conservative daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, to business elites and to the Conservative Party. In the 1940’s and 1950’s the government used various informal methods to try to control the military propaganda. In 1960 this changed and the government turned to more formal ways of control such as introducing new regulations concerning military information.
