Auswahl der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zum Thema „Moderate samlingspartiet“

During the first part of the twentieth century the Swedish Moderate party described themselves as a classical conservative party. During the later part of the century the party started to adopt a more prominent liberal mindset and by 1978 the Moderate party described themselves combining the liberal and conservative tradition. Within the academia there is a difference of opinion when it comes to the relationship between liberalism and conservatism within the Moderate party. This study aims to shine new light on this debate by using a new model of analysis. By constructing typical ideas of the liberal and conservative tradition and using these ideas to analyse the party’s political programs this study describes the relationship between liberalism and conservatism between 1956 to 1993. The study shows that there has been a substantial ideological shift during the time period analysed. In 1956 the typical conservative ideas where the centerpiece of the party ́s ideological viewpoints but in 1993 this focus had shifted completely and the party had at this point adopted and centered its ideological viewpoints around the ideas of classical liberalism. The conservative ideas have not been replace and the conservative idea of preserving old institutions and norms is a constant in the party ́s ideology during the whole time period.

<p>”The new labour party? A study of the labor-market policy ideas of the Moderata samlingspartiet and their ideological change”</p><p>Thesis in Political Science (C-level) at Karlstad University by</p><p>Jenny Ljung, Fall 2006</p><p>Tutor: Susan Marton</p><p>The labour-market policy of the Swedish Moderaterna may have undergone changes in the liberal ideology. During the election the year 1991 Moderaterna focused upon questions that concerned the economic growth and the free market. In the election at year 2006 Moderaterna appointed themselves as “the new labour party” and were called social liberals by several critiques. The statement by the liberal think-tank Timbro’s head Maria Rankkas in the fall 2006 “the Moderaterna have never been neo-liberals” made me wonder if this was true or not and if Timbro’s foundation in the liberal ideology were close to Moderaterna´s or not.</p><p>The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether an ideological change has occurred in the labours-market policy of the Moderaterna, and if the then has become more social liberal than neo-liberal compared to the election 1991 and to the think-tank Timbro.</p><p>The main research-question, which I intend to answer, is:</p><p>• In what way has the labour-market policy of the Moderaterna changed relative to their ideological foundation in the liberal ideology?</p><p>To be able to answer the main question I also have two precise research questions that I intend to answer:</p><p>• Has the labour-market policy of the Moderaterna gone from neo-liberal foundation to the benefit of social liberal foundation, compared to the liberal think-thank Timbro?</p><p>• How does Moderaterna versus Timbro argue in their publications about the labour-market policy during the early 90`s and the year 2006?</p><p>The material from Moderaterna that I have chosen to study the government’s declarations, the manifestos from the elections and the political platform. The material from Timbro includes articles about labour-market policy from Timbro’s website. The research method I used is the ideological text analysis.</p><p>After analyzing the material I present an answer to the main research question: The Moderaterna has changed in their ideological foundation in the liberal ideology and have become more social liberal than before.</p><p>Notice that I say more social liberal. They still have traces from neo-liberalism but are far more social liberal in their labour-market policy in 2006 than 1991.</p>

Uppsatsen undersöker hur abortfrågan diskuterades på lokal nivå i Gävle i två kvinnoorganisationer av motsatt politisk ståndpunkt och drar paralleller till hur frågan diskuterades på nationell nivå under 1930-talet. Genom att studera källmaterialet mot bakgrund av ett teoretiskt ramverk förs även en diskussion om den moraliska synen på kvinnlig sexualitet och ogifta mödrar under den studerade perioden.
