  3. 2. Securitized or Not Securitized? : A Case Study of Sweden's COVID-19 Strategy During the First Year of the Pandemic

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Max Anklev; [2024]
    Keywords : Securitization Theory; De securitization; Non-securitization; COVID-19; Sweden;

It employs content analysis to evaluate Sweden's response, analyzing primary sources and academic literature, and uses a discourse table based on existing theoretical studies by Barry Buzan, Ole Waever, and Jaap de Wilde (1998) and Lene Hansen (2012) to assess indicators of securitization, (de)securitization or non-securitization.
